Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto's Trainer: Margarito Could Have Continued

[Left2body]

We all agree that Margarito could have continued. No dobut, but look what happened when he continued vs a lopsided Pacroid match. Stopping the fight > personal permanent injury

Cotto was up 9-0 so Tony needed a KO to win

Good post.

The fight was stopped because the NYSAC wanted to cover their ass#s. It wouldn't look good if Margarito ended up blind, specially after all the controversy there was surrounding the license issue. Margarito could continue but they weren't going to risk it.

Exactly. He shouldnt have gotten his license to begin with but money talks.

Margarito was outmuscling cotto. cotto was hugging and wobbling . You are an ignorant. Even Cotto´s trainer said Margo could have continued. Margo was smiling at cotto´s punches.

Margarito was not outmuscling Cotto. Cotto actually started to outmuscle Margarito like Mosley started to do in the 7th and 8th round. Cotto was pushing Margarito back in the 9th and he was choosing to stay in the pocket and exchange.

BTW Margarito smiling at punches is not an indication of anything. Margarito was literally smiling when Mosley knocked him out.

Pedro Luis Diaz, just signed his resignation from team Cotto LMAO!!

I don't think so. It looked like Cotto himself was disappointed, he wanted to continue the punishment.

margarito's handlers were all dumb...they want cheato to loss his sight...cotto pummeled cheato from round 1 until the time of the stoppage and there is no way the outcome will change...

maybe cheato can continue, but for what...???

if garcia only had a little love for his fighter, he would have advised cheato to stop the fight with pacman in round 9...but he allowed to continue the fight hoping a miracle that never came...his indifference cost his fighter's career...

cheato's end has come...

Why?

Cotto was more pissed off than anyone when they stopped it.

I think if they gave maragarito one more round everyody wouldve have been satisfied witth the outcome, more definitive win for miguel as that eye would have been totalled ...

[nycsmooth]

of course he wanted to, as in Pac, but doctors stopped in this case as they should have w/Pac...

Cotto's trainer is an ignorant sod for making such a ****** remark. Any clear thinking fan and not some dumb beer drinking slag would agree that Margarito was in big big trouble. It was crystal clear that the fight was over but you will always get some fans and some moron trainers that have trouble putting 2 sentences together no less calling a Boxing match for what it is.

He is far from a "moron". He's a former trainer to the Cuban delegation, I'm sure he knows wtf he's talking about.

On this scenario, he wanted to see the fight to the end, that's all. It was not a satisfying finish for Team Cotto.
