Boxing - Margarito speaks: I don’t feel that Cotto beat me
Margarito doesnt seem happy with the stoppage, but IMO there was no doubt the fight had to be stopped. Hes claiming he could see out of the eye but how could he ? You couldn't see his eyeball at all and imagine if the fight had carried on he could have suffered even more damage to the eye. With the history of having a right eye problem and it looking that bad I think the referee did the correct thing IMO. He was badly behind on the cards and I dont think Cotto was tiring too badly. I believe he would have done enough to hang on and he didnt look as if he was feeling Margarito's power as much this time around, again making it clear did Margarito use handwraps? He was outclassed in the fight and Cotto did more than enough to walk out of the fight the winner.
Margarito talks about wanting a third fight with Cotto...What does everybody think about this? In his words he felt like the tide was turning like the first fight and he could see through his eye without any problems. Should Margarito have a third fight with Cotto?
I personally would like to see Cotto try and fight Canelo/Kirkland or Mayweather. I dont believe Margarito deserves another shot at Cotto.
