Words uttered by Cotto during the post-fight interview with Max Kellerman. Perfect ending to a perfect fight. The only thing that would've made it more perfect is if they had let Margacheato go on, and Miguel had actually KTFO'ed him, or damaged the eye even more.
But what character.... what composure and sense of justice. Also, Kellerman asked Miguel (and in the press conference they asked Miguel) whether this result supported the suspicions that Margacheato had used the plaster wraps in their first fight. Miguel, cool as always, answered: "You guys be the judge." "You can see the difference between now, and 2008."
Miguel outboxed, outpunched, outsmarted (not hard to do)..... and just totally outfought the cheating scumbag tonight. He didn't get pinned to the ropes... he fired combinations to the head and to the eye... he showed tremendous lateral movement... he showed beautiful hand speed... he picked his spots to trade with Margacheato... it was a beautiful thing.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... the sweet taste of revenge.
