Personally,I can not see a different outcome should the two rematch.For the most part,everything speculated and pointed to in initial lead up came to fruition on both sides.Cotto showed tremendous stick & move,top notch hand speed and accuracy.Margarito showed his overall strength & volume arsenal in company with great endurance.He's pretty crafty at tucking his elbows into his body & pin pointing that short upper-hook up & down Cottos side.
Maybe it's a bit simplistic but no need to over complicate things Imo.Bottom line,Cotto will have to detour and hurt Margarito repeatedly to win this.I believe if he looks to make this an inside grappling affair hoping to rip shots off and spin out ,Tony's all over strength will accumulate and again be overly taxing.And on the ropes,forget about it.Ive seen it repeatedly..."Cotto got winded,he got tired". Well,he reached that position for a reason,because Margarito was all over him from jump off point.Think Cause & effect.Cotto was not outboxed,he was out fought.I think Cotto can reclaim his status and go onto some great things but Imo,he should steer clear of Margarito.
