Well I had Cotto winning up to that round. But Congrats to Tony, he fought a good fight.
I know Cotto will come back from this, I have no doubt about that, it was only 1 loss, so I am not disappointed in him at all. He dominated in all the punching categories, but I just wish he would have stayed away from the ropes, that is where he kept getting caught.
It was a great fight, and that's all I could hope for.
I still can't get over that. What an unbelievable fight. Seriously, will be watching that one for the rest of my life probably. How amazing. We ended up getting the PPV last minute after I showed my dad the countdown show during the Segura fight, was well worth it. Unbelievable, no shame in Cotto's performance. For 8 rounds there he looked like the best fighter in boxing just coming into his own. I can't believe it. Hate to be so cliche, but next time someone says boxing is dead, I might just flip out. Holy shit.
Respect right back, like I told you, I like both fighters, so I am happy for Margarito, and of course I'm sad for Cotto, they both fought great, and I can't take anything away from either fighter. They both deserve respect, and props for this fight.
I just hope that some on here give credit to both fighters like they should, and don't ruin a great fight by acting like an ass, and cutting down a great fighter.
A cracking fight! First off props to Margarito. The guy is relentless. Cotto was getting caught on those ropes more and more and was finding it more difficult to get away. Cotto was boxing superbly prior to that and he was winning the fight after the 10th, but Magarito would just keep on coming and was getting busier and busier.
Cotto just couldnt hurt Margarito and it was Cotto's will that was beaten. A good day for boxing and Margarito, but you can't help but feel bad for Cotto. They are both great fighters.
I'm exhausted, everytime Cotto moved to the ropes I was shouting "MOVE FOR FUCKS SAKE" I thought Cotto would win but Tony did himself proud, amazing chin, I mean fuck me, how does he take shots and keep coming like that? I think he has one of the best chins ever. He fought like a Mexican.....what more can I say?
A rematch would be bliss
first off, full credit to margarito, strong, in shape, great chin, determined.
cotto retreated to the ropes too much early on. also, i would have liked to see him go more to the body, given his opponent has a great chin and is relentless.
the first time i heard his uncle/trainer tell him to get off the ropes was in the 8th. of course, we didn't see everything that happened in the corner but from what we did see his uncle/trainer wasn't emphasizing it until the eighth.
also, his uncle has no inspirational value. it is time to dump him for a world class trainer.
we need margarito-pretty boy. if floyd doesn't come back for this then fuck him big time, even bigger than before, the great-boxer-but-total-tasteless-punk.
how about margarito pavlik; too bad pavlik is going up in weight to fight hopkins, a meaningless fight in terms of sorting out the non-has beens.
i find lampley and kellerman melodramatic. when you have a great fight, you don't need some chumps telling you every two minutes that it's a great fight. also it bothers me that they start talking about other fights, boxing in general, etc., in the middle of the action.
keep steward and bring in a boxer like RJJ or Tyson and keep lampley on a tight leash and dump all the rest.
and there he GO'S....WOW![]()
MOTHER FARKING RIGHT PAWT-NA......Great fight,balls to the wall.....Awesome stuff
Respect to both .......This is what fighters DO....
Youngblood.........Name change Inbound![]()
woo Cotto down.....looking bad...down again....fight stopped
classic fight....thank god the pressure of Margarito told in the end......big applause for both fighters
I had Margarito 4 rnds up b4 the 11rnd
Literally one of the happiest days of my life. WARGARITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been one of the most vocal Margarito members here, and now his day has comeTook him a while to run down Cotto on his bicycle, but brutal finish. Love Cotto, but today is Tony's day. Guarantee a rematch.
Just like I said it would go; Cotto early rounds and Tony with the late ko.
Fanfuckentastic![]()
Spicoli MAN we KNEW IT . FuCk Yeah.
