i remember manny discussing the gameplan he had planned for cotto, to get on the inside and bang margo to the body, push him back and beat him, be close enough so margo cant put anything on his punches. i reckon he would have stopped margo earlier that way.
Cotto boxed like a *** all night. Previous pressure happy left-hander turned into a Blackfoot fighting *** with no right hand.
What surprised me about Cotto last night, he seemed to have the edge in physical strength. When up close, he could hold his ground, and even pushed Margarito away fairly easily, multiple times. Definitely could have done more on the inside, but what he did was very effective.
