    the first round was cotto's best round. Absolutely beautiful boxing.

    The first 6 rounds (minus the second) sweep by Cotto is overstated. A lot of the tension and excitement came from the first viewing when we didn't know if Margarito would be able to take those sharp counters. On second viewing, you see all the work Margarito does and it just looks like a steam rolling to be honest. Cotto was never in control, he only retaliated when cornered.

    Ok guys.....

    1. Cotto closeish
    2. Margarito closeish
    3. Cotto
    4. Cotto
    5. Cotto
    6. Margarito closeish
    7. Margarito dominant
    8. Margarito
    9. Even
    10. Margarito

    So that is 5-4 to Margo with one even 96-95 :deal

    Anyone who gives Margo more than two of the first six needs to watch more boxing, as do those who had Cotto 8-2 up :deal

    the first round was very close, but Margarito even though h landed less, landed the harder punches. It even seemed like he lifted Cotto a bit off the ground with a punch to the middle of the stomach.

    haven't read the thread but once I read this comment..that's all there is to say.. I haven't yet seen the fight, but I have huge respect for both fighters. Whether or not PBF is better than either one, is debatable, but it was these two who sought out the best not PBF and for that they deserve props. As long as the two best seach each other out and give it their best, then unless you have $$ on the fight, who wins matters less than the two best entertaining us to the best of their abilities. This is what boxing is all about!!

    STFU. The first round was very close. Cotto landind more but Margarito landing the harder punches, and punishing Cotto's mid secyion.

    I thought this round was very close. I can understand it going either way or even 10-10 but i dont think you can say either man clearly won it.
