Comments Thread For: Photos: Miguel Cotto Arrives Like a Hero To Puerto Rico

and LOL @ everyone crying about the doc...

You would have to be a ****ing ****** to not know that they where going to stop the fight once his eye started to get hit.

Dana White has a case against New York for not allowing him to host UFC becuase they say it's too viloent.. You think the Doc's are going to sit around and wait for something bad to happen? lol

GTFOH, Cotto did his job. Margarito like the POS that he is and has always been couldn't get his face out of the way from any of the punches... IF he wanted to fight, he would have blocked that ****.... Margarito LOST because he couldn't protect himself. END OF STORY...

A stoppage because of the cut, and obvious subsequent swelling, was first mentioned by the commentators in round 3.

They pointed out that Margarito will not be allowed to continue should he sustain too much damage to his right eye because the commission/doctors were well-aware of the damage inflicted by Pacquiao.

I also agree with your earlier point.

Cotto needs to thank Mosley for cracking Margarito, so that Pac could drain/damage him further

Pacquiao did not cut Margarito's eye in round 3, and Pacquiao did not proceed to pummel it repeatedly for the next 6 rounds.

There is actually nothing to suggest that the two injuries are connected, that swelling occurred because Cotto repeatedly hit a cut that he opened in round 3.

[WESS]

yea thanks to mosley for ****ing up marg's eye prior to pac ****ing it up.

Don't thank me you silly goose... Thank Mosley, Margarto's daddy...

His face is nowhere near swollen as in after the first fight. He fought nicely.

He passed their test. They arent psychics and have the ability to predict that Cotto would target and **** that eye up.

Plus his eye was already ****ed up and and damage Marg takes will be solely on their backs.

Doctors have the duty to save fighters from themselves. Maybe if the Doctors in Texas stopped Pac from destroying that eye then maybe his eye wouldnt have to be rebuilt and would stay intact in his next fight

if he's cleared to fight he should be given the same opportunity as anyone else. the fight shouldn't be stopped because of what could happen. he could still see so why did they stop it? still waiting for a legit reason(there is none) people shouldn't be defending corruption. he still had a chance to win even if it was small but they didn't want him to possibly cash in that chance so they took matters into their own hands.

One of the dumbest statements ever! Thats exactly why they stop fights

Same reason they stopped Vitali-Lewis and should have stoppeed Marg-Pac

Holy cr## people your worst than them *******s!!! The doctors gave him a test on rd 7, after 9 he looked at it and asked the other doc for his opinion, they both agreed it.was too much already and called it!! Even if he.had continued, cotto was already walking him down and clearly wasnt getting hurt by margs powerless punches already, there was no fkn way he was knocking cotto out, and even by winning the next 3 rds by some miracle, he was still losing by a landslide!!!!

this is boxing. you could get hit once and killed. i guess they should stop it before a punch is even thrown? damage is going to happen in boxing. margarito proved he could still see so why did they stop the fight? maybe it would get worse and he wouldn't be able to see later on in the fight? ok then stop it when it gets to that point not before. why didn't they stop the morales-maidana fight? because morales is the A-side! he couldn't see diddly squat yet margarito who could see but was just swollen is stopped? this was classic protection tactics. you shouldn't endorse them like it was on the up and up.

All hail king Cotto!

Conqueror of foreign lands, spreading Spanglish, rice with beans, salsa, reggaeton, and catholicism to the United States and then some.

Unbeaten by mexicans and any other ethnic group in the continent of America, and best of all, he is not dominican. We can truly say that no mexican or african american(puerto rican boxers two biggest rivals) has beaten him.

Racial prejudice aside, this was the true loss that had everybody down, most puerto ricans could care less that he lost to Pacquiao, though avenging that loss would be great too.

wow 1 of the corrupt docs agreed with the other? i'm shocked! smoger didn't want it stopped because he's not corrupt. he let wolak fight rodriguez with a much worse looking eye. the difference is wolak was the A-side in that fight. do people not understand how boxing works? they didn't stop it to protect margarito. they stopped it to protect cotto just in case margarito came on late like in the first fight. its their job to use any excuse valid or not to make sure cotto wins. the a-side in boxing always gets the advantages. why didn't they stop the cotto-clottey fight when his eye was destroyed? do you not realize the absurd double standards a-sides and b-sides have in boxing and how unfair it is?

Yes this is boxing, not **** fighting. Fighting until the other guys goes blind? They protect you from permanent damage.

Who the **** cares if marg could still see? Again he could still see against Pac but youre telling me that fight shouldnt have been stopped? And Vitali could still see against Lewis, are you telling me that fight shouldnt have been stopped either?

No lets just let him take un-needed punishment and them have his eye permanently damaged....oh wait
