    Nice video. They should have a huge section just like this analyzing the fight.

    great vid but id say the tide was turned in the 6th not the 7th as Margarito was firmly in control after the 6th

    and HBO is really peddling Cotto first by harping on the wraps in every 24 7 but also bringing up the eye every 2 seconds

    I dont think Cotto has the precise rapid fire shots that Manny has and i dont see him doing that damage to the eye

    i could see it swell and cut but i dont see the bone in his face busting like it did vs Manny

    overall i see a late TKO or UD by Antonio Margarito in a similar fight

    They had one just like it for Pacquiao-Marquez and it was spot on.

    I think Cotto will target the eye easily, he is a sharp puncher. He needs to be quicker with his punches and better gas tank.

    What Cotto needs most of all is to tighten up his defense. He lets way too much hit him right up the middle, that's why Margarito's uppercuts and Pacquiao's punches ate him up so badly.

    Keep a tight guard, flurry, move, don't be too proud to clinch and he'll dominate Margo easily. For bonus points aim for Margo's eye to test it. If it swells or he has any problems seeing from it, then keep moving to that side where his vision will be affected and he'll have trouble tracking Cotto.
