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

[JT Rock]

Personally...I don't see a rematch ending any differently...it's teh volume & reach that wore Miguel down.

in the tale of the tape they had them both with the same reach. is that right?

Nope.

Margarito's reach is a stretch from Cotto's.

I dont know Wacks unless HBO screwed the pooch they were listed about the same... matter of fact when Margarito was at a distance Cotto was beating him, when they were fighting in the phone booth Tony was punishing him...REACH HAD ABSOLUTELY 0 FACTOR IN THIS FIGHT

right.. HBO had the reach's equal.. either way if margarito even had a 50 inch advantage, he did not fight a tall man's fight.. the only punishment and effective punching margarito did was on the inside.. when margarito started to open up and throw, cotto countered upstairs and margarito would have to take a step back and was still getting hit.. only when margarito would stalk cotto down to the ropes again would he start to throw..

I watched this fight, with a mix of boxing fans and others...and every time Cotto hit Margarito, when you saw the slow motion replay, that mullet swayed and twisted and flowed lika wheatfield on an breezy summers day...but yet, forward he came.

Forward he came, and again, bash, smash. bamm...and I'd watch the mexican mullet again dance with each shot that faced it's earthly reaches, and how sometimes from beneath the sinister strangeness of that black waving mullet glory, came a smile. This concerned me.

How can he take those punches? So seemingly unfazed? As forward and forward he came. I did the math, I knew my man Cotto was ahead going into the latter rounds, but still...how, why?

And then I knew...there were 2 rounds separating the difference between who won this angry dance of men bent on inflicting damage against the other. And so I watched in disbelief, in disarray...and in shock. For my man, Miguel Cotto took a knee, not once because he needed the time to amount a comeback, but twice...because he was a beaten man.

My hats off to Tony Margarito. You sir, are a warrior of the highest order.

You deserve the full respect of the boxing world for what you did tonight.
