Cotto took a beating for however many rounds some people would say 2 rounds other would say from round 6 on that kinda beating stays with a boxer, Cotto's tough but he met his superior in heart, guts, stamina, and determination. It was very clear in between some of the rounds that cotto looked maybe not scarred but he had the look of WTF did i just run into. i support cotto all the way but he got owned ive said it before and ill say it again. If there a rematch i would not be surprised to see some mental effects from the first fight. He knows MArgo has his number.

Once again people throw around words like owned way too loosely.


so what would you call it then? a fight with mosley gives margo exactly what he needs more recognition to go after big fights. but my original point what would you call what margo did to cotto? just winning?
A close fight where Margarito's will won out. This wasn't one sided route by any means, Cotto was right in it until the 11th round, and should have been quite ahead on the scorecards. Owned, Dominated, destroyed. That is the difference between Chavez-Meldrick Taylor I, and Chavez-Meldrick Taylor II, one of those was the destruction of a fighter, the other was a fight where the superior boxer was clearly outboxing the brawler, but in the end accumulation caught up with them. Of course Meldrick Taylor outboxed Chavez for a lot more rounds, but both him and Cotto were comprehensively outboxing their respective opponents.
