what a fight!!!

Absolute relentless pressure overcame Cottos skills. He was just too much for him, walked him down and beat him up.

Marg is one badarse.

 

Absolutely - Margo's expression never changed for the entire fight.

And there was barely a mark on his face, no redness, no swelling.

Cotto must have been wondering what he had to do to inflict injury on him.

Meanwhile, Cotto's nose got wiped across his face.

 

MArgs not overly blessed with alot of skill but his trainer said he was trying to kill Marg in training cause that would be the best way of winning. Military style to gain the fitness needed.

Fark man, his pressure was toooo much.

 

That was a great fight no doubt about it. It was a bit sad to see cotto go out in such way though, hope he can get it together and keep at it! Definatley have more respect for Marg now.

 

sweet fight, very exciting to watch.

talks of floyd is crap. im not sayin marg beats him but im sayin floyd never takes him on.

cotto bitched out big time ha ha ha , bring on paul williams!

Margarito and Vazquez top ten p4p baby!!!

 

Awesome fight.

Im a little stunned but not shocked, I knew Magarito was hard as but jesus christ the man can take a punch.

I think Cotto can and will come back from this but probably not the same. In every long fight he has been in, he takes a little rest because he must not be one of those fighters who has natural stamina. Tony gave him no quarter and was so bloody relentless.

I have said several times before this fight that Cotto will be stopped before he retires but I didnt think it would be today and was hoping it would not be to be honest. I thought cause he could be hurt and get tired he might lose like that late in his career but at the peak of his powers his skills got trumped by an animal of a fighter today.

Congrats Tony!!!

 

Great fight, Margarito has one of the best chins in the sport and his conditioning was great. He may not have the boxing skills of Cotto but he is one tough *******. Cant wait to see whats next for both guys.

 

Congrats to Margo.
Wow Margo always was one of my favourite international fighters, but geez he showed things i couldnt believe he had to beat my fav fighter Cotto.
His heart & chin are amazing.
Easily must have one of the top chins of recent decades...maybe not quite Hagler but not far off.

 

He is a better version of Baldomir except I cant recall Bald. being on the floor

 

Great fight, and one I can't believe that Cotto lost, especially after seeing the first 6 rounds. It's not as if marg really changed his plan either, he just kept doing his thing.

Yep, Marg's stocks have certainly gone up in my book, and Cotto's have fallen a bit too. I still reckon theres a few out there that'll do Marg, but I'm happy for him and hope he gets some big money fights.

Forget Hatton, he should call out DLH.

Marcus, props to you mate. I thought you were smoking yourself silly when you tipped Marg. I really thought Cotto would be way too slick for him.

Great win by Marg, and a good day of boxing, even though I tipped Cotto to win with ease.

I was really hoping cotto would win then set up a mega fight with floyd.
margirito is an animal espicially at welterweight. the guy just can't be hurt

 

I have been thinking the same thing for a little while now, Marg looks like Cranky Franky
