The way I see it Cotto has the faster hands on the inside that he can well afford to go inside and try to impose himself on Margarito maybe even move him back some. Margarito really doesn't have a good inside punch other then the uppercut. Granted Cotto is seemingly open to the uppercut but it's still a slow punch.

I'm torn on how he wins but I've got little doubt that he does. Just think he's the better fighter and when Cotto gets hurt it's with punches that come out of nowhere and Margarito just doesn't have anything like that.

This is the problem for Cotto. He's open for the uppercut and that's one of Tony's best punches. Cotto has been hurt by lesser punchers than Margo and if he fights on the inside, he's bound to get caught a few times.
