Despite the commentators praise -Cotto does not normally knock people out by head-shots - yes his punches were crisp and he threw combinations but HOW MANY BODY SHOTS DID HE THROW IN THE ENTIRE FIGHT? - watch the replay and count - he head-hunted the entire fight.
Did his team not watch tape ? I thought the only way he could win - was by slowing Margarito down via body attacks instead Cotto danced/ran himself into e[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']xhaustion and hardly took a forward step in the entire fight. Its sad to see a boxer overestimate his power, the reality is he was outclassed due to his poor preparation and probably over confidence. Just my opinion.....[/font]
