Thread: Cotto vs. Margo II, some final thoughts..?

Although he dominated the action, this wasn't and "easy" fight for Cotto, he had to earn the 10th round TKO, but he kept his cool, had an excellent game plan, and stuck to it. I loved the way Cotto outboxed Margo, turned him when his ass started touching the ropes, tied him up and wrestled/bullied him into ropes. Cotto also caught Margo with some monster shots, and it was a thing of beauty watching him land jabs, and all those powerful combinations.

Margarito was the aggressor, (as usual) kept coming and made the fight competitive/interesting. I'll say this about Margo, to his credit, he's almost impossible to discourage. This time however, except in the 1st half of the fight his punches looked weaker and we're for the most part, ineffective.

Mad respect to Cotto, he vindicated himself, did exactly what he set out to do in this rematch, and showed why he is a champion, not just as a boxer, but in every sense of the word.
