    I couldn't get in and make an official pick before hand, but it is pretty well known Cotto is one of my fave's. Got to give it up to Margarito for a job ****en well done! Fine fight and Margarito was fookin mad imressive. Wish the best for Cotto to come back strong from this ass whippin from the bad ass Margarito.

    Props for this.

    Sorry to dump on you, you were an easy target and much braver than most.

    No more verbal shots from me against you.

    Peace.

    Cotto fought his ass off against a guy he could never beat. He did his best.

    I still dont understand how that happened. I dont understand why Cotto did not throw a single body shot and was throwing all head shots against a brick head. I blaim his trainer for not telling him to go to the body from round 1. It was there, it was there. But props to margarito for being able to eat all those clean shots and still grind his way to a win.

    Tony fought one hell of a pressure fight, unflappable, and does have one of the best chins certainly in the division, maybe in the whole weight range.

    That said, he did lose seven rounds, and most of them quite clearly, so before he is elevated to "best welterweight in the world, hands down" status let's keep in mind that with a little more durability, Cotto would have had this locked down.

    Great effort on both ends. Obviously I'm disappointed in Cotto's inability to hang under the pressure, as I dismissed Margo as much as anyone and now have to eat it. Don't want to see anything taken from him though, as he had boxed Tony's ears off for the first several rounds before Tony mauled his entire face off.

    Hi there teddy... :rofl


    You always pick who you thought have the better skills but disregard some other qualities of being a great boxer... this will be a lesson for you. Skill doesn't win a fight alone. :deal

    I have never claimed to be an elite analyst, other people have claimed such, I 've always stated that I'm just decent. But I'm not crying over it, only the money I lost, because most who picked Marg constantly get fights wrong.

    This is just one of those things. But I accept that I was wrong, apologise for being tactless to Marg fans and am here to take it on the chin.

    You're still a ****ing tool with no level of respect for boxers who get out there and perform.

    You're the worst poster I've ever seen solely for this fact, the fact that you criticise and attack boxers you don't personally like to a level that is completely ****ing disgraceful means I don't care if you man up to eat your crow, gain some ****ing humility and learn some respect you stupid ****.

    Cotto fired plenty of left hooks to the body in the early rounds...to no avail. AM doesn't seem to have any obvious Achilles' heel.
