    He got surgery done on it after Manny beat him to a pulp.

    That is beyond simple swelling, that's pure damage. I doubt he can see out of it properly any more. Looking, even in the low-res video, the eye is swimming about the place, unfocused.

    He'll be looking to protect it as much as possible.

    Detached retina I believe was the official diagnosis. It'll make a huge difference to the fight if Cotto can land any significant shots on it (which you imagine he will due to his left hooks) and swell it up. As you alluded to it will probably even stop him seeing the hooks coming if it's as bad as it looks

    Antonio Margarito is pure energy, and cannot be stopped completely. And he has regenerative capabilities above even he strongest of humans.

    Antonio Margarito will win this fight, it will be a exciting fight while it lasts.

    Margarito won't get away with having concrete in his gloves this time, his eye is completely ****ed and he's in with a man looking for revenge. Mosley blasted through Margarito so he's not unstoppable.

    I don't see how he could be sporting that sort of damage with no ill-effect.

    Margo never had good defence and relies on being tough. We saw against Mosley and Pac that he can be dented now. So, poor defence plus poor vision plus dwindling punch resistance makes this a very interesting fight.

    Cotto at least has a bedrock of boxing skills to fall back on. Hopefully his trainer has him opting to stand and trade while he's fresh and Margo is trying to warm up. Smash that eye up and make it hard for him to compete down the stretch.

    its really amusing how much confidence you boys have in cotto. since margerito destroyed him he beat jennings, picked up a gift against clottey, took a pummeling against pac and went 12 rounds with an over the hill mayorga. and yuri foreman rocked him, hes getting blasted out of there again and then he retires.

    Detatched retina? Broken orbital bone more like.

    Yeah, cause Margarito's done so much to inspire confidence:

    Smashed to pieces by Mosley, looked tame against Garcia, smashed to pieces by Pac.

    You're being overly-kind on him there.

    I wasn't sure. My point still stands - his eye looks ****ed.
