Cotto was robbed of embarrassing the golden rooster.

LMAO I just took a peek at the thread and Dirk Diggler UK getting owned badly in his own thread.
It seems like everytime I see him in this forum he is getting owned constantly lol.Comment

The same reason why Trinidad did illegal wrapping against Hopkins who Trinidad was the favorite in the fight. See? We can play it both ways.Comment

PRs/Blacks truly hate Margarito lol. Damn! He punked Floyd and made the other one quit. They are thinking with their hearts and not their head.Comment

He was getting touched throughout, but the rate at which he was getting touched jumped in the 2nd half of the fight. You keep coming back to this 2nd round. I know he got hit, but he was never hurt in that round. As I said, that's the round Cotto realized what he was in with. He breezed by him in the 1st.
Of course he got touched more in the 2nd half of the fight because he started slowing down and couldn't implement a box-and-move gameplan for 12 rounds, especially when he was taking shots repeatedly throughout. It works for Mayweather because he doesn't take punches. That will never work for a fighter with as poor a defence as Cotto.
The clinching and the pushing Margarito back in the rematch was something he should have tried in the first fight. It would have broke Tony's rhythm and gave Miguel time to rest. It's obviously something he picked up from Mosley's fight with Margarito.Comment

He was hurt to the body on a couple of occasions, he sat on the rope, Margarito folded him in half. Also busted his nose in that round.

That's the exact reason I picked Mosley to win.
He's a specialist at hitting and tieing up, that's always going to be an issue for Margarito.Comment

Well said. Second fight was exactly the same as first. Cotto just won coz of Tony's ****ed up eye. It's a shame they didn't let Tony continue coz Cotto was already gassed by the 9th round.
****m is a LIAR. I remember watching a video of him saying the huge BLOCK fell out of the wrap. Where is this huge block? The only thing brought as evidence was a gauze which contained some trace elements, what a load of bs.
First thing ****im said was that he noticed right away that the wrap was very hard. And he told Commission immediately, like this is hard. And they replied that it's not, they checked, it's ok. And ****im insisted NO. Then lo and behold, a block of **** drops.
I'll take my chances and believe ****IM, the guy who discovered the problem for a FACT, than Team Margarito and the Commission (who weren't even competent enough to catch it in the first place).Comment
