Margarito is a tank who does not seem to get discouraged. I thought Cotto was going to take this, but Margarito was even tougher than I thought if that is possible.
Cotto simply ran out of gas trying to beat that tank off of him. I hope he keeps his head together and comes back stronger. For the first 6 rounds Saturday night, Cotto showed he is by far one of the most talented fighters on the planet, but who was forced to fight a pace he could not maintain for the remainder.
I hope he does not rematch Margarito immediately. He needs to get his stamina in check before tackling Antonio again. He has the tools to beat him, they just need to be honed.
