Very very good point here. It goes both ways for Margo when he used this excuse. Doesn't hold up under scrutiny IMO. He can't definitively say he never cheated when we look at this main excuse of his.

On topic, don't think the eye issue would have made any difference since I don't see Cotto being in the same state that he was in their first fight during the later rounds. He had Margo's number with or without the eye issue.
