Oh my! Mad ups to Margarito.

The body work early won this fight. Cotto slowed down enough for the slower Tony to catch him and finally start landing some rights to go with the lefts. Great fight, great game plan, Margarito is relentless!

The announcers failed in this one. Cotto was taking major major punishment those last 3 rounds and they ignored it. I wasn't sure he'd come out for the 11th.

PS I drew the 11th round in our pool and won some much needed loot.

Cotto didn't take major punishment in the 9th and most of the 10th, He won the 9th and I think he won the 10th by winning the first 2 minutes of it so clearly. I still say he had breathing problems.

Body work, body work, body work. Most announcers and fans ignore it. Cotto almost went down a few times thru out the fight from body punched, that the announcers completely ignored.

The judges didn't ignore it either as they had Tony winning the fight. Cotto just couldn't protect the body throughout the fight and it wore him down. Cotto was spent because of the viscous assault on his body from round 1 of the fight. He was so much slower in every way by the 7th and 8th rounds, it was like a different fighter in there.

This was a body work clinic. If only the announcers would pay attention, they wouldv'e called a much better fight. Even the rounds Tony clearly lost, he was landing that left hook to the body. I think he really hurt Cotto to the body in the second and never let up.

You are too funny . and you forget the shot to the nose was was inflicted by Margarito. I do not remember seeing anyone in his corner sticking their finger in his nose ........

anyone who has a fighting style made for walking down another fighter will have issues with Margarito since they will not be walked down

So just stand your ground in the middle of the ring and keep it on the inside where you're clearly winning. Cotto back tracked giving Margarito his range costing him the fight. He was winning the fight in my eyes, he just had to finish the fight on his feet (although apparently 2 judges had Marg up). Margarito adapted in this fight and Cotto didn't..respect to Margarito. Respect to both fighters. Great fight.
