    Margarito is a truely dangerous animal.
    How this will match up with 2008's terminator, Miguel Cotto I'm not sure.

    Margaito put on a fearsome display, taking monstrous shots, seemingly unaffected and plundering on to a huge victory.
    (I'm very glad he beat Cintron.)

    Cotto however showed something different for me. He showed boxing ability, as well as explosive power.

    If and when they fight, I fully expect a thriller, but I do feel that Cotto, although smaller, shades a victory.

    Two very entertaining fights.

    Interesting view, but Tony was tatooed by body shots and chin shots and he kept coming thru the firestorm unaffected, I'm telling you he gets off on it I think he will relish the fact that he will grind Cotto down and be the 1st to do it

    I dont think Cotto will have his way with Margarito like hes used to with other fighters. Margarito will test Cottos chin early and get his respect. His defence is not as good as Cotto but he will take one to land one and keep throwing. I wouldnt be surprised to see him break down Cotto. Tactically they are similar in that they work the body early and keep pressure on their opponents till they break. Both guys have good power, both have good chins. Cintron was very unimmpressive last night so that fights not a good example of how Tony would fair against Cotto, though I think he would be effective vs Cotto.

    Yeah, I'm basically in agreement. I've never been a big fan of Margarito, and I have criticized his ability in the past, but god damn, he is monstorous at what he does. I don't think it's a case of "the Margarito tonight would have killed Paul Williams" though... I mean there's a reason Margarito started late against Williams and not last night... It's just down to styles. Cintron certainly hit Tony WAY harder than Williams ever did, but it didn't stop Margarito from getting inside and landing. Williams was just far more consistent and was able to keep range far better. Maybe I'll get chastised for this, but I don't think anyone showed anything new last night, it went completely as expected. Cintron couldn't handle the pressure of Tony, and broke down crying again, Johnson gave Chad Dawson all he could handle and more in a fight which could've gone either way but of course went to Dawson, Gomez was completely out of his league(the guy has had a losing trilogy with Jesse Feliciano FFS, it's a joke people gave him such a chance imo), and Tarver looked meh, but just had better ability than Woods who looked poor, beating him over 12. Having just seen it, Johnson vs Dawson easily stole the night imo, I thought Johnson did enough to win it... He is really an outstanding guy for the sport.

    Margarito made a big fan out of me last night. I picked Cintron to pull off the win this time around, but Margarito just beat the everlovin shit out of him. A guy with that kind of chin, that kind of power, that kind of ferocity, that kind of stamina, and that kind of workrate is going to be hell for anyone. I don't believe he can beat PBF, but I would love to see the proposed Cotto/Margarito showdown, that has fight of the Decade written all over it.

    I agree with you Donny. Whilst I agree Margarito looked like a monster I actually felt Cotto put on the better performance.

    Cintron we always knew folds under pressure and I don't think his punching power is quite as good as people claim. Margarito took not even one 10th of the flush shots that Jesse Feliciano took, he was literally eating them up for 10 rounds and Cintron still couldn't put him down.

    Although the Gomez fight was a mismatch Gomez has been able to hang with much bigger men than Cotto. I certainly didn't expect him to get blown away and beaten down as easily as Cotto did.

    and it wasn't just power punching it was a perfect complete boxing performance. It reminded me a lot of Floyd's clinical dismantling of Sharmba Mitchell in his first fight at welter, just faster to the punch, more accurate, sharp stinging jabs.

    It was a faultess performance against an overmatched but still game and solid opponent.

    If/when they do get it on I'm expecting one hell of a fight.
