Was Margarito on his way to stopping Cotto in the Rematch?

[punchr]

Cotto never should had tried to box Margs.. He should have pushed him back and ripped him to the body...He would have stopped him.....Margs is soft downstairs...Cotto was in "boxing mode" against Margs......

Margarito is too big for that. That strategy would only get Cotto KO'd.

You never know what might have happened if his eye didn't swell the way it did. I think he took everything Cotto had to give and it didn't faze him. Saying that, he wasn't looking good. I don't think he was the same fighter, I think Pac really took something out of him.

That eye was ruined.

Nope. Robert Garcia saying, "that was our best round" but they lost that round.

I agree and Cotto was in the exact same position he was in the first bout. Margarito even made that cut throat gesture he felt the give in cotto that give taht you can only feel when you in a fight and feel the dude just prime to be taking out.

Cotto was worried and caught a very lucky break.

even if you dont think margarito would have won you cant deny that Cotto caught a very lucky break. Those last rounds all cotto had to do was survive and he would win but that damage he would have took (if he could would have withstand it) would have ruined his entire career.

How would it ruin his career when plasterito's punches weren't having the same effect as in the first fight?

Bardock???

Bardock faked his own death like Tupac to avoid further pain and suffering. He was hurting inside. Also, I heard through a friend that the Bardock outfit he was wearing at the mall, was giving him a serious rash. He loved being around the children near the food court and posing for photos with them, but in the end, depression and a full body rash sent him spiraling downward into a dark place.

This is what I mean by cotto being a "different" fighter than the one that lost to trout & floyd. You can thank pedro diaz for that.

I think if Cotto sat down on his shots more against Margarito, he would have eventually wore Tony down. I know Tony applies that pressure nonstop but as we saw with Shane's Epo-hook, He can be taken if one is willing to commit more to the punch. Tony has a hell of a poker face and likes to smile as if not hurt, but if you disregard that smile and follow up with two more shots, he is breakable. Margarito was clever in that way in which he would cause his opponents to doubt the effect of their punches. Mosley was not buying it. The more Tony smiled at Shane, the harder Mosley shot back until that white towel of desperation came soaring into the ring at 90mph.

Cotto was indeed diminishing and Margarito was catching some momentum but it wasn't like the first fight where we saw the fight begin to shift from like rd 6 and 7. This was already late in the fight, margarito wasn't gonna stop Cotto. However it was like the Mickey vs Salido fight where it got stopped as it got interesting. Sure it think Mickey was most likely gonna control the fight but we all wanted to see it develop more.

I think the stoppage was crap. A few months before we saw smoger let Wolak fight with a completely shut eye in new york. I don't know why they didn't let margarito continue. It was the same commission and the same ref that night.
