Just another one of Wacko's Drunken Round by Rounds : Cotto vs Margarito!

[Diane]

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.

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

we should encourage the best fighting the best, not the best fighting a has been because it will make him the most money. there is way too much whoring in boxing these days.

I'd reckon Cotto will move back down to 140 nand stay there. His power can stop guys there, he will always have trouble at 147 with a power puncher like Tony.

That would be the best move for Cotto IMO, and Tony showed why he is one of the most avoided fighters in the biz..........thank god he's not like zahir raheem lol

[Spicoli]

Rewatched, He forced him to take Two Knees for KD's....Wow brutal

Great stuff Wacko,top notch all around w/ RBR.......now STAY put Lol

Definitely, great points.

As far as I'm concerned, Tony only has one legitimate loss, to P Williams. He was robbed against Santos, and his first 3 losses were as a teenager when most guys are fighting in the amateurs.
