    I honestly think Cotto got to cocky in there, He was outboxing Margarito so emphatically that he underestimated Tony. I don't think he thought Tony could walk through those punches like he did, and I don't think Cotto had a plan B besides countering effectively.
    I sometimes wonder the same Taeth. At the first few rounds Cotto was throwing nice combinations and maybe thought he would go down soon just like any other opponent that receives Cotto's clean punches. Big surprise when Tony started landing early in the fight like that body punch at round 2 that made him sit on the ropes.

    I guess Cotto will probably come to the rematch with a not-so-exciting style and just hit and run pretty much like someone who pokes and taunts a lion in a cage.

    Spot on! I always said Miguel needed to work the body more. Margarito did have his hands down protecting that area but Miguel could've still found openings here and there. Miguel could watch those Mayweather tapes but will he be able to pull it off? That's the real question.

    I don't think Margarito is a better fighter than Cotto, I just think when you match the two up, Margarito has the upper hand. Similar to Pacquiao vs Barrera or Mosley vs Forrest.
