So the holding tactic that Mosley used to take Margarito's most effective punches away also worked for Cotto.
I liked that, smart move, and Cotto would sometimes push Margo off of him or tie him up on the ropes. A little headbutt on the inside by Miguel right on the already damaged eye was a nice touch as well.

I was having a ball watching that. Cotto pushing Margarito looking strong, holding and getting a headbutt in. It was great.
