What an awesome fight. Margo is relentless who just keep coming and coming. Heartbreaking to see Cotto down but I'm sure he'll bounce back. I gave the first five rounds to Cotto, landing some great shots throughout and Margo doesn't even flinch. Then Margo took over and finished it. Props to both though, great fight. 2 warriors in there.
Cotto was superb in the 1st 5 rounds and he has great counterpunching skills. Margarito though never gives up and as Cotto slowed he dragged himself into the fight. Some of the flashier punching was still by Cotto while Margarito was just relentless in going forward and throwing punches.
It was almost as if the pace of the fight that Margarito had set had caught up with Cotto and he wilted in the 11th.
Margarito is not the most talented fighter in the World but he just might be the toughest - he took some great shots and hardly flinched - just kept going forward.
Great fight and superb victory for Margarito.

I don't know why anyone would think that Cotto should move back down to 140 just because of this loss. He clearly had weight problems there, and Tony is a huge welterweight, he is not the norm. I swear to Christ, anyone else would have been KTFO by Cotto last night, Tony is just inhuman in the chin department. I still think Cotto would have a good chance against Floyd because he can box brilliantly and twinkletoes wouldn't be able to take half the punishment that Tony did. That being said, I have to laugh at all the Tony haters still not giving him his due. Yeah we already knew that he isn't the most skilled boxer in the world, but he does what he has to do and he wins fights. He has the heart and will of a true warrior and if you can't respect that, you're just a prick. To all those Cotto fans who give Tony his due, much respect to you, and take heart knowing that Miguel put on a great performance, he just ran into a brick wall. I am confident that this is just a temporary setback, he will be back to accomplish great things.

What A fight!!!Cotto boxed well early but Tony was so much more of the harder hitter & just would not be denied.He just walked him down and took victory.
On a lesser side note,Lampley is all about the house fighter,just glaring his favoritism at times![]()

Fuckin Lampley is so biased, he's commentary has nothing to do with whats actually happening in the fight....complete douchebag. Anyway, that fight was great my niece was rooting for Cotto(because he was cute....) and after she was like well if he fought someone his own size lol. I had to explain that they both made the weight.![]()
Did the famous Wacko come back for this fight and then leave again?

Saw the title and literally smiled ear to ear,"HE'S BACK".........thinking it was yet to come .Damn!!! A pillar here,sorely missed and needed back.
