    Margo was healthy, thats why he had to fly to New York for a doctor to clear it. Cotto did the smart thing and targeted that eye from the beggining and busted it up. People act like Margo got punched once in the eye and it closed. Cotto put some leather on his face all night and no way is Margo stopping Cotto in 3 rounds. Margo was dead tired as well and fighting with one eye. Cotto did his thing and he gets full credit, not his fault the fight was stopped.

    Like many others, I wash't impressed by Cotto/Margarito 2. One, because I always knew he could beat Margarito with a half way decent training. Two, because Mosley showed how easy it was. Hit him first, hold, push him back, repeat. I was expecting a impressive victory in the second fight. Like a 5 rounds KO. But Cotto looks way faster now and throwing more combinations. One think I don't like about Cotto is he is either on offensive mode or defensive mode. I think he could benefit from a drill like Roger does to Floyd. That little tapping game!!!! Looks like FLoyd isn't doing much but if you look closer is constantly punch,block, punch, block routine. That creates mucle memory and that is how Floyd steal the attack from many fighters. Many boxers go defensive until the other guy stop punching. I really like what FLoyd does with that exercise.
