Cotto vs. Margarito

[BudweiserCeltic]

Fight is tonight and it should be one of the best fights this year and probably one of the best fights in recent years.  Don't miss out.

So, who of you guys will be watching this?

I'll just say this, Cotto will completely destroy Margarito.

I'm  a fan of Cotto, but I've always believed Margarito, was big enough, strong enough and busy enough to give Cotto problems and I still believe that's the case.  If Margarito vs. Paul Williams shows up Cotto is fine but if its Margarito that fought Cintron shows up Cotto has a problem.

I think Cotto will take him to 12 rounds just because he doesn't want to KO him, he wants to disfigure him.

Minutes away from the fight.

Cotto looked much better in the first round.

I told you....I wish I was wrong....

Good fight.  I only started watching in the 4th round.  Man, the second half of the fight, Cotto just took an accumulated beating.  Glad they stopped it.

I still don't understand how it happened because Cotto was landing some heavy punches, but Margarito kept coming and coming... just unbelievable the kind of hurt the guy can sustain.

[Zoots]

Yeah, Margarito was just relentless.  He just wore Cotto down mentally.  Margarito wouldn't let him just box him. He made him either fight him or quit.

No disrespect to Cotto, though.  I just don't think he ever faced anybody that just kept coming like that.

[fairweatherfan06]

Cotto could have won boxing more and fighting less. In a fight they are pretty closely matched (except Margarito has a marvelous chin) but in a boxing match its no contest, its Cotto. Stylewise this is exactly what I thought Cotto's problem would be with Margarito.
