    props to both fighters.... i love cotto but props to margs, hes a ****n tank, took massive punishment and kept coming forward... honestly though these guys are not in floyds class!!! ive said it all along floyd is head and shoulders above anyone in divisions around him....
    but how great for boxing is this fight
    this is why boxing is so much better then wwe/ufc/mma all sports combined into one gay grabbing sport!!!

    Marg just walked through all those cotto power shots, cotto must have broken mentally knowing he couldn't get the KO, that's why he probably gave up......very disappointing.

    Good fight tho

    Marg was so strong...what about the body shot in round 2...almost decked Cotto...took the wind out of him.

    Who would have thought Marg would stop Cotto?

    Marg just kept coming forward even though he lost the first 5 or so rounds being counter punched.

    That was the best fight of his life :deal ....mind you he has had some big KO wins in title fights.

    Wicked fight, not surprised marg won I am shocked thought that Cotto sat down, not once but twice, fair enough he took alot of shots, but a true champ gets carried out

    Thats a stupid comment to be honest, what did u want Cotto to do he physically had nothing left to even stand up let alone defend from punches, would you rather he just held on to ropes thinking hey forget i have a family etc just keep punching me until i am dead or suffer permanent brain damage because a few fans think thats what boxers should do.:patsch

    Awesome fight!!!

    I thought Margo was going to lose by wide UD going on rds 1-5, but he stuck to his guns and just wore Cotto down.

    You could tell his body shots were taking their toll on Cotto, then those 3 uppercuts in round 7 changed the complexion of the fight.

    Margo is one tough hombre, he took Cotto's best shots and never took a backwards step.

    What do emus, kangaroos, and Antonio Margarito have in common? :yep
