Cotto vs Margarito - the rematch - Saturday night chat/fight thread

I'm glad Cotto won, but geeze.

This victory belongs to Pacquiao for fucking up that eye in November. This victory for Cotto is almost as meaningless as Trinidad's "victory" over De La Hoya.

Margarito wasn't doing anything effective. If it wasn't for way the first fight played out, people would have been calling for a stoppage a couple of rounds ago.

Cotto just fought a perfectly tactical fight. Never panicked, keep clocking on the left when he realized that Margarito couldn't see off his left eye and popped perfectly timed combos. Wow, one of his best performances in a very long time.

Miles WTF why the hell are you rooting for a cheater ? a guy who was willing to load his gloves. Permantely damage a fighter for his own gain, then has the nerve to come into the fight that smug ?

F*** Margarito he cheated in the in the 1st Cotto fight, and got his ass kicked and exposed again.

Fucking HBO, why didn't you show that stare down after the fight!?!

It belongs to Naazim Richardson.

Honestly Margo's older and took a beating from Pac but we all saw the shots he was landing in the first few rounds and thought Cotto might get ground down. And it didn't seem to affect him the same way.

I'm not saying. But, its not outlandish. The guy cheated before.

Apparentlyy norton was hiding in my hard drives closest and beat the shit outta McCaffe when he was installed.

I had more viruses than a Thai brothel. Fight over eh???

The evidence is circumstantial, but it's compelling.

Cotto seemed to know.

Yes, Cotto was gifted a handicap by Pacquiao. Take away that fight and Margarito does the same thing again. He could have fought with more abandon and make Cotto meet his maker.

Unlike HBO, this fight makes me think that Margarito wasn't loaded the first time. The only difference was the eye making him a little more cautious and an eye that wouldn't hold up so long.

Cotto boxed well, but it was a little bit empty in the end.

You have no hard evidence so calm down. I am a human being and people deserve forgiveness. Get over it. You should probably have a nap.

Margarito is a such a cunt.

Margarito said he was 100%. No excuses. Props to Cotto.

See the cheater isn't shit without his plaster. Cotto gave him a boxing lesson. I would have loved the fight to continue, so Cotto could fuck him up some more. Great win for Miguel.
