[mike_tha_man]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Wacko3205]

Too much of a reach, height, & power/chin advantage.

Hated to see it happen...but I knew it would.

Respect to Margarito.

[Wacko3205]

One thing can be stated...there was no...absolutely NO...shame in that game.

Unbelieveable fight.

Really impressed with Cotto.

Cotto's face looks terrible as he exits the ring to get that mess treated.

Beautiful fight...just beautiful.

[Wacko3205]

Honestly...some of you youngin's shock me.

Why bring down the exchange of these two professionals into some silly trash talking. Can'tcha all just get along...like adults.



Fwock watcha spew...that was a great one.

Any fight with an ending that makes you say "holy shit!" counts as a great fight to me

[Spicoli]

Not bad for a "Journyman".. .I'll rewatch this one at least 5 times come Sunday 8 am.Some one rep El Gamo

I'm literally speachless. That was one of the best fights I have ever seen. My god, all the credit in the world to Margarito. Wow, was 10x time more then I expected. Had literally everything, WOW. All credit to Vazquez-Marquez, but for me, that was FOTY. Fight of the decade maybe. Wow wow wow wow. Oh my goodness.

So did I. You gotta respect both men. That was the best fight that could be made and it was a classic. I actually think if they rematched Cotto would figure out a way to win. I'd love a rematch.

[Oggie]

Jesus, look at Cotto's face... talk about a battering.
Maragrito looks fresh as a daisy! He is like the Terminator, they way he just keeps coming forward relentlessly, unmoved by anything.

What a great fight, both fighters should be proud!

[Deanrw]

Cotto seemed to forget about his body attack in this fight


No left hooks to the body?

I think not being able to discourage Margarito discouraged him.

He couldn't get to the body, when you watch it again, you'll see that Margarito kept his arm there all night, making it difficult for him to hit to the body.

what the hell happened? i had it until the 5th/6th round n then a got distratced by some silly little girl, im abit to mashed to go looking through all the threads...did cotto stay on the ropes n get tagged?? he looked so in control while i was watching...abit dissapointed with his body attack...diane said above that tony had his arms down there but unless im just overly drunk he didnt even seem to try? he seemed to throw a punch that knocked tony's head back a little n he could have got a punch to the midsection during those times but i dont know, booze is booze, ill watch again 2moro. i cant believe i missed what happened...tony is a tough sob. i dno if people are saying mayweather should fight him, but i still think the pretty boy could have seen this fight n would not stay on the ropes as long as cotto did occassionally, he wasnt there for ages but he stayed there a while winning or not winning in the early rounds. clottey beats zab n we have a rematch?? lets see if it was actually the hands that beat margo!!!...im drunk

Firstly, what a great fight. In many ways it's what Hatton Mayweather could have been, but Margarito's stamina is what made the difference. He was immense. Cotto impressed me with his skills and defense, but his legs let him down late in the fight. At about round 6 I thought it would be a demolition by Cotto, but Margarito re-grouped very well and deserved the outcome.

Secondly, I can see the unwillingness of people to give Margarito respect before this fight and in many ways, rightly so. One or two blemishes on a record are understandable, but 5 defeats in 35 fights is alot and there have always been these questionmarks about his quality because of this. His defeat to Williams did nothing to dispell those doubts.

What Margarito has shown is that although careers are short, fighters go through spells of form just like any other athletes. Careers are not over because you have lost and you can still be great, the defeats may even make you better.

Alot of fighters can learn from these two guys. Both were willing to fight anyone who was infront of them and that is what this game needs more than anything, less politics, more good fights.

[Jesse James]

What was up with Lampley btw? Did anyone else notice that he looked like he was about to cry?

[Cortez The Killer]

I am very surprised that Margarito actually made it. That fight had Cotto UD written all over it.

It lived up to all expectations.

Cotto had Margarito outclassed, outboxed, outpowered....and Tony broke his will. Good stuff there.

I'd rather see a rematch between them then any other fight. But Margarito does deserve a DLH payoff if he can get it.

Stubborn as a mule and granite in the chin, that is Margarito.

What a great fight
