    Honestly? Where did you see the fight turn? at what point was it obvious to you that Margarito had taken over and that it was clear that Cotto was on his way to getting knocked out?
    Answer honestly!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    Here is my answer:

    Antonio Margarito beat Miguel Cotto at the Weigh in, I have never seen Cotto look so scared before in my life, after the stare down, Cotto turns towards the cameras and looks like he is an emotional wreck like he is about to cry.


    Just my opinion!:good

    Round 6/7 - This was the point that Cotto realised he couldn't hurt Margo, no matter how much he outboxed him, but Margo could hurt him.

    No turning point. Both guys did the same thing from round 1 to 11. One got tired...

    I missed the weigh in so i can't comment on that.

    The obvious visable turning point was in round seven when Margo hurt Cotto early and then dominated him for the rest of the round.

    However i believe mentally for Cotto it may have happened a round or two earlier. Cotto was hitting Antonio with his best shots and Margo wasn't even phased by it. That has got to dent your confidence some what. If you are a defensive minded boxer like Mayweather, Hopkins or Whitaker it probably wouldn't dishearten you as much as you probably know you are going the distance so your philosophy is probably going to lean more towards out scoring your opponent rather than brutalising them. But untill recently Cotto has been a destroyer. He generally knocks out his opponents so to see his usually powerfull, hurting shots just bounce of the granite bonce of Margo must shatter your confidence.

    I'll be honest. When Cotto started tagging Margarito flush the first 3 rounds and it had no effect, i said to myself that Margarito would eventually KO Cotto because Cotto was pretty much doing everything he wanted, touching Marg almost everytime he threw with flush shots. But what can you do when the guy in front of you doesn't budge and keeps on coming?

    There was a turning point in the 6th round perhaps the later stages of the 5th but it was clear to me that Miguel did not get that body attack going early and with out it he was going to lose, I honestly felt Miguel just didnt have it that night, I felt at the weigh in Miguel looked freaked out just my opinion.
    However you now know why Floyd will never ever face Margarito.

    As a Cotto fan, at the end of round 4 I looked at 1boricua and told him "this is going to be a long night for Cotto".

    In my opinon the 3 uppercuts changed the fight, i think they really damaged him.
