    It looked alot like the first fight except this time Tonis eye was the problem Toni was coming along strong Cotto even looked troubled i think Cottos game plan was to target Tonis eye.I think it would of been intresting if cotto fought Toni before the eye was operated on.

    what did you guys think of this fight i think the operated eye had a big factor in this fight

    It was similar to the first fight. However, Concreto's punches didn't have the plaster of paris effects anymore.

    That fight is a prime example why Cotto shouldn't go near GGG.

    Not really. Concreto was able to stun and hurt Cotto earlier in the first fight, I believe it was round 4 when it all started. He also busted Cotto up in round 7 and his punches clearly had more effect than in the rematch.

    It was becoming similar but remember Cotto's face was a mess in the first fight

    In the second Cotto wasnt bleeding or anything

    Margo was only allowed to fight with everlast pillows, if he'd worn reyes he's had finished Cotto.

    He caught Cotto on the tip of the nose with an uppercut in round 2, this really troubled Cotto, he couldn't breathe properly, but it was the body shots that took the life out of Cotto, but it was that 2 round that was the prelim to his fall.

    Indeed, and the plaster of paris contributed to the impact of those punches. If you look at Concreto's history, he was never known to being a one punch puncher to do the damage he was able to do with single shots, that includes his body punches.

    I agree I think Cotto would have been stopped again. He was tired and taking shots he had no answer to.

    cotto as already stated he went to fu ck his eye right up and hurt him with it , he should be greatful to pacman for the damage limitation he left on margo for cotto to take advantage of
