    I totally agree, aside from Margarito having a chin made of freakin Titanium, Cotto fought at a pace that he was not accustomed to that being having to move alot in the ring(legs).
    I still believe that Cotto can and was putting some damage on Margarito just so happens that in that fight Margarito took the punches better than Miguel. A rematch is necessary IMO Cotto deserves it having able to outbox Tony for majority of the rounds.
    By the way the scoring in azteca boxing or boxeo latino in Channel 7 in Cancun sucks bigtime they all had Margarito winning the 1st 5 rounds

    lol
    I was extremely saddened that night the only consoloation was I was able to see the fight for free in the Hotel were we stayed at in Cancun. I stood proud even if I might be the only person in the Hotel cheering for Cotto that night. I'm looking forward for a rematch, Cotto will bounce back from this I'm sure. Go COTTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
