Was the Cotto knockout loss really that much of a surprise?

    No, I predicted a tenth round stoppage for Margarito and I also said his corner would throw in the towel. But seeing Cotto's face like that was a big shock.

    I was shocked poeple picked Cotto by KO

    I had Margs wining by 8th round KO it went 3 rounds longer but when people said Cotto would walk through Margs and KO him I was wondering have ever seen both of them fight?

    Margs took Cintrons best shots and smiled at him and Cintron is a bigger puncher than Cotto

    I know Cotto was a good boxer/puncher but he fights off the ropes way to much and he wouldnt have the luxury of a guy slwoing down when he did

    Margs made Cotto fight when he didnt want to and thats what makes a guy lose his confidence and strength he didnt give him a chance to rest or coast after the 8th

    Not me... I predicted a late Margo KO/TKO win in at least 11 hellish rounds. I relied on Margo's usual fight pattern of starting slow and then heating up controlling the late rounds.
