He fought a great fight as usual so deserves total respect. These bigger men just can't seem to find a way to put a real dent into him nor cut him.
This was not quite as impressive as the Cotto fight, but this is clearly because Margarito is a tougher nut to crack. Margarito fought quite well early on, but that fourth dazzled him and then the eye was gone. An uphill battle after that, but he still had his moments.
I give props to both fighters for this fight. And to some degree I do think Margarito has earned some of his redemption. He took his licks like a man and showed that even without any so called wraps that he could still hurt the best fighter in the world.
