According to an article on Eastside, Antonio Margarito's eye surgery was successful and Bob Arum will promote a second fight between he and Miguel Cotto late this year.
Now I think it probable (not definite) that the Margarito victory in the first fight was legitimate. But that is sort of beside the point in examining a second fight. The beating Cotto took was the beating Cotto took. Since then he took a second at the hands of Manny P. He is clearly older and slower and easier to hit than ever. But don't forget, Margarito took a savage beating at Cotto's hands as well and another at Manny's hands and received a third from Shane Mosley. He too is likely older and slower and easier to hit.
Usually when that happens? Rematches are often even more savage and bloody than the initial fight.
What say you? Who has more left? Who has the psychological edge? Who will be more willing to hang in there in the storm? Who wins how and why?
