I gave him a 9 but i should gave him a 8 he looked good boxed great. there were times where it look like the old fight but he showed adjusments. Cotto by far land the harder shots he looked calm and relaxed. I didnt see him getting tired I think alot has to do with he didnt break his nose this time
Rate Cotto's performance

100% agreed! Couldn't have said it better my self.Due to it being stopped early and IMO un justly I gave Miguels performance a five, great boxing but he did run his ass off in that last round, and it was clearly Tony taking over in that round...
Cotto won, by boxing, he did NOT beat the **** out of Tony, he did not prove Plaster was used, he made idiots believe that by using bigger gloves in this fight... and by adjusting his game plan a bit.
However I believe Margarito had him figured out at the end of the 9th and a Puerto Rican Dr saved Cottos assComment

This^^^. It kinda frustrated me that he would be able to out-maneuver Marg and get him up against the ropes, only to not capitalize on the opportunity to beat him to the body and REALLY try to disfigure him. But hey, maybe it was the in the plan to make sure you have enough in the tank to go 12 safely, so I can understand why he didn't unload, he would just throw 2 or 3 punches and then return to the center of the ring.Originally posted by BOOMbip8...would have liked to see him sit on his punches earlier and more often...like when he would turn margo against the ropes he looked he would wait to counter instead of engaging first and unloading to the body and head....thats pretty much my only critique.
Cotto's skill-set was finally able to overcome Marg's attributes. He fought very intelligently, he out-thought Margarito. Marg thought Cotto was gonna come in and **** with him, Cotto only brawled once in the entire fight, that shows discipline. They probably thought Cotto was gonna go for the kill and gas himself out, but he didn't give into the temptation. There were points where Cotto was really impressing me with his movement and ring awareness. Marg was still able to get him on the ropes, but nowhere near as much as the 1st fight.Comment

That was what I was thinking... Can't figure out why he was so aggressive (4-5 combos) on the outside but on the inside he was just waiting for a counter. Plus he didn't go the the body that much other than that he looked pretty good.Originally posted by BOOMbip8...would have liked to see him sit on his punches earlier and more often...like when he would turn margo against the ropes he looked he would wait to counter instead of engaging first and unloading to the body and head....thats pretty much my only critique.
Gave him an 8-8.5 due to Margo's eye raised a ?. Plus Margarito didn't looked so good (No Defense, couldn't cut the ring, etc). Still a really good performance from CottoComment

I think he fought very well. I gave him an 8. Boxed very well, lot of clear shots to the head, took advantages of openings, and utilized the ring. I didn't like how much he was moving, but I don't think he was in any worry of being stopped. If the fight would have continued, I think Cotto would have continued his game plan and landed a decision.Comment
