Yeah and went on to win the fight so what's you point
Cotto gave it his best and won. Diaz gave it his best and got knocked out
I guess where there is no room for tactical improvement, the only factors that could contribute to a different outcome are changes in either physical or mental states.
IMO it was clear that Diaz was banking on now having a Mental & Physical advantage over Marquez due to the prolonged and embarrassing nature of Marquez' previous defeat at the hands of Floyd Mayeather along with the speculated wear and tear that was associated with his long career.
I don't think anyone really knew what Marquez was gonna look like in this fight and he showed that his is still a warrior and a smart fighter but IMO that's a bit too easily said when facing an opponent who isn't really prepared to assert themselves.

I thought he looked just fine and was in control from start to finish.I actually like Diaz,nice kid and smart enough to look past boxing with secure future.He's a realist and was never anything special.Truth is he did what he had to do to stay on his feet and come out better for it this time,not flat on his back bruised and battered.He's a stepping stone now and guaranteed another big fight should he go on...flipside of the coin is he gave himself zero chance of winning.Who ever sent him in there pumping him up with thoughts of outboxing a ring general like JMM should have their head checked and be yanked from the corner.
Marquez knows the deal,the sun is setting and it's time to tune up a last hoorah.He wants Manny for redemption no matter the weight and I wouldn't dismiss it with all of the manuvering going on.He is too proud to become a name to tack on young guys resumes and I really hope he chooss carefully at 140.His skin is softened,the legs less fluid and the always under the radar career and boxing prowess has seen many battles but we should enjoy watching one of the more capable boxing minds in last couple of decades fondly as he walks through that final exit.He'll be missed.
