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

[CFH]

Mexican cornrows?

C'mon MAN!

I was just going to say those things look ridiculous.

[GuyIncognito76]

Good stoppage, and the ref let them fight on the inside and didn't get involved in the fight; which makes the point deduction even more bizarre.

Rios is not going to have a long career with the way he eats punches.

He must have thought Murray had more malice and intent behind that punch than he actually did.

[El Kabong]

Murray fought pretty well. Rios fought better.

And Manny Steward is a demented old toss pot. He is displaying obvious signs of dementia and should be put out to pasture.

Hahaha....he probably has more respect for England than you do miles.

[Spicoli]

Stream anyone, chirp f'n chirp Did Rios look slow and hittable

[ICB]

Murray's face was just gross.

I really like Cotto. It's going to suck watching Margarito knock him out again.

[generalbulldog]

Mexican cornrows. hahaha

I see Cotto winning a decision. Margarito seems to have the confidence to take punishment still but not the confidence in his punches like he used to.

When Margarito would fight before he had a confidence that not only would he take your punches but his would always break you down eventually. Nowadays it seems he only has one of those confidences. That handwrap thing still messes with him. He may not act like it but you see it when he's in the ring.

The ever classy people of PR booing the Mexi national anthem.

National anthems at professional sporting events are stupid anyways.

[marbleheadmaui]

The PR National Anthem is Hotel California?

[generalbulldog]

Singing of national anthems should be banned from all sportng events.

True, but I respect any fighter that displays heart and Murray did that. Steward has no reason to diss Brit fighters when we are a small nation and have produced plenty of good fighters. It's a silly generalization. America has it's fair share of Jeff Lacy's too. Fighters are just fighters, some are great and others less so. It's no reason to boil it down to nationality when it is more about the human condition.
