Sweet Payback ! Cotto vs Margarito Video

[jazluvr]

Exactly. Miguel never did anything like that. He never came close to breaking Tony's spirit. Yet these Cotto huggers act like this was the revenge to end all revenges

Pac couldn't even break his spirit. But he did break his orbital bone. Cotto avenged his loss fair and square. Tony said his eye was fine. Guess it really wasn't, was it...

Actually, his revenge couldn't be sweeter for Miguel, he left room in Tony's mind that he could have won that fight (which he wouldn't have) had it continued the full 12 rounds.

By the way, i wish no ill to Tony. What's in the past is in the past. This fight doesn't prove he cheated in the 1st fight, but it sure leaves room for doubt for people who do suspect he did. Personally, i think the long lay-off + Tony taking 2 brutal beatdowns and looking lackluster against Garcia played more a factor in him losing than "alleged loaded gloves", plus team Cotto corrected many flaws in his game plan.

He fought smart, not brawling with a bigger pressure-brawler, but boxing and turning Tony with lateral movement and staying off the ropes. Tony could have cut off the ring, but no, he didn't listen to his trainer who told him to, and just followed him around and got pot-shotted by a very elusive Cotto, who even pressured Tony, pushing him back and clinching when he had too.

Tony doesn't know how to box very well. He's mostly a come-forward volume pressure fighter, not a boxer. His defense sucks. He gets hit in the face too easy. Cotto didn't have a very hard time landing 86 shots to that eye that was also an issue for the (insert state boxing commish here) to give Tony a license to fight with such a bad eye injury.

Tony didn't even bother protecting it himself! He could have held his right hand higher, but he was too busy throwing it in the air, missing an always moving Cotto. Couldn't trap him on the ropes this time and bomb him with uppercuts like the 1st fight either. Cotto learned.

They were under a lot of pressure to grant that license. They didn't want to be responsible for a boxer permanently being blinded, when they were fully aware of Tony's eye issue. That's why they had one of their own doc's ringside, in case it looked like it might happen.

It almost did. They wanted to stop the fight in the 8th round. Tony was lucky to get the 9th. That eye will now always be an issue for Tony. All his opponents will target it, if he elects to continue fighting, but it's possible he might have problems getting licensed to fight in other states.

Disregarding the 3 years, beatings from Mosley and Pacquiao and serious eye damage of course....

I see what your trying to say your analogy is crap . Cotto went threw two major beating as well was in hospital for a week for both of them. You can say that pac soften cotto up for margarito.. As I see it both fighters went in even both got beaten badly both are damage goods.margarito is just ****** why didn't he keep his right hand a little higher ???

Pacquaio did break his spirit to an extent. He still tried to the end but you could see he'd been broken. Against Cotto, he had the pyscological advantage of knowing he'd already stopped him once and he truly believed he could still do it.

I agree both figers were damaged but Cotto had less damage. I mean he ran like a scalded dog for about 8 rounds against Pacquiao. Whereas Tony met Pacquaio head on for 12. Tony was also spent 2 seperate years out of the ring. Miguel got a couple of soft fights to regain his confidence and shake off the rust.

You mean face first, don't you? And at least Cotto lived to fight another day. Tony's "die in the ring" mentality cost him his career. Cotto has lots of options now. What's Tony got? His pride will be his demise...hell, it already has been, career-wise.

Who's fault is that ??? Margarito for be fawking ****** its ******ity not pride bro. So your saying Margo was be lazy and sitting on the coach for full 13 months he was off. There were reports of him traing during his layoff. You know what cotto been doing during his layoff ??? He was to busy be fat and lazy Margorito was more prepared for this fight then Miguel ..

When it comes down to it both guys left a little some thing of them self that night. Margorito won the battle but cotto won the war.. Just give credit where credit is do
