That was it. Margarito just walked through all those huge counter shots from Cotto. Cotto did a great job in this fight, but Margarito in the end proved to be the better man.
round one: cotto round two: margarito round three: cotto round four: cotto round five: cotto round six: cotto round seven: margarito round eight: cotto round nine: margarito round ten: margarito one thing i noticed, man margarito ALWAYS has his arms tucked into his body THE WHOLE FIGHT. that's why cotto couldn't hit him to the body. very impressive, but man did marg take a beating to the head.
Since apparently we're dredging up crazy old RBR threads (Agbeko vs. Mares I from 2011 resurfacing outta nowhere and picking up steam this morning) this one has been in my thoughts since the other day: Coming up on its tin anniversary in a few months. Wouldn't it be wild if Cotto announced on July 26th he's nixing the retirement for the Margarito rubber-match? Would be the biggest story of 2018 in boxing, deservedly or not.
What the hell was I doing that night? You'd have thought for sure I'd be front and center for this one.
You're even more of an OG than me, hk! (by 7 months) You technically have RBR seniority. Any time you want to elbow your way in and tell @CST80 to stand aside, you have emeritus rights.
