I think it has to be a 9. It isn't the greatest of all time by a long mile, but it has everything you could have asked for.Unbelievable power shots getting landed with regularity, and changes in shifts. Cotto is looking to win a UD, round 5 comes and he's clearly hangin on but then in the next round Cotto goes back to his boxing and countering. Then unbelievable Margarito stops Miguel Cotto. UNBELIEVABLE! What is better, there was no controversery. It wasn't stopped to early, no headbutts causing cuts, no intentional low blows, nothing!
Extremely brilliant fight. alot of blood and drama. Good fight. I wouldnt go as far as saying Cotto was exposed but Margarito was avoided for a good reason. Good gun fight all around. Respect to both fighters
