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

Margarito has begun fighting downhill.

If Cotto doesn't change something maragrito is going to start jogging after him again.

He needs to stand his ground a bit more and target the body.

Still, 5-0 Cotto.

To use a stale old cliche, Cotto isn't fighting to win, he's fighting not to lose.

Cotto is on his bike and holding more to buy time, but his jaw is loose and getting tired.

Cotto is such a bitch throwing so clearly after the bell. Margarito's eye is done though.

He's normally a clean boxer, he just hates the guy he's fighting tongiht.

No excuses though, Cotto was still being a bitch.

Cotto fights this style more and more as his career goes on because he doesn't take punches well.

at 140-Cotto got dropped multiple times. Flash knockdowns but still he went down.

at 147 and now 154 he isn't a big guy and he doesn't have a world class chin. He has to box more and more.

I think Cotto after this fight should go back down to 147 (which I believe he could make comfortably). At least there he doesn't look so darn small.

6-2 Cotto.

Legs are holding up.

[Gandalf]

I don't see how Margarito can see out of that eye, a shame to end it like this though.

That was a total boxing lesson

I know I'm ragging on him a lot considering he might be pitching a shut out, but Cotto's nervous movement reminds me of Jermaine Taylor right now.

I was just trying to imagine how negative you'd be if Cotto actually lost a round.

I have him winning every round, but the last two were close.

It's just frustrating watching him fight scared and use the same gameplan that got him knocked out last time.

I'm always more critical of fighters I like.

Cotto might be able to pull it out this way this time
