    this ing fight was everything that i had hoped it would be. margarito has an amazing chin, cotto landed lots of solid combos throughout the fight. a lesser fighter wouldn't have had the heart to take it and win, but margarito is a ing beast. i'm glad i was wrong.



    This dude is the ing man!

    No wonder Mayweather wanted nothing from Margarito. I am a huge boxing fan. I was afraid all of my Mexican boxers were slowly going away like Barrera, Morales, Marquez, and the like, but Margarito pulled one out for all of us Mexicans. Too bad not that many want to fight him because we would be treated to a lot more fights with him on the card. Hopefully him being champion brings on more fights. I like watching this dude.

    Major props to Whiskey Dog and 2Cents Worth and whoever called this one.

    I'll admit I was on the fence on this one because Cotto is no joke. Cotto is outstanding, but Margarito did what he did best and that was throw punch after punch. I was pulling for Margarito and he didn't let me down. HECK YEAH. Viva Mexico!

    That was probably the best fight I have seen this year, awesome stuff and worth the $60 for the HD version of the PPV...

    Margarito will always have a tough time against an elusive defensive minded fighter, because margarito takes too long to get his shots off. He needs a guy who is willing to stay in front and slug it out. Cotto is taylor made for Antonio. No one can beat Antonio at his game. Like I said before, Antonio has a chin of steel and has cement in his gloves.

    I'll admit that if Margarito were to face Mayweather, Mayweather would not be dumb enough to stay in front and slug it out with Margarito, which is I will refuse to watch a Mayweather fight besides the Oscar fight. Mayweather bores me and his style is what hurts the sport of boxing in my opinion.

    Mayweather's style is boring, but Ali and Sugar Ray had similar styles are were still exciting. Though I enjoy the slugfest, I can also watch good defensive fighters like the old Roy Jones and Sweet Pea Whitaker.

    he tapped out, which is unusual, but smart on his part.

    +1..

    I just watched the fight, and yeah.. I agree instant classic..

    I just think that some Puerto Ricans are taking this loss too seriously as far as to calling Margarito a cheater...

    apparently some of them think Margarito has been taking drugs all his career, so he doesn't get knocked out.
    amusing...

    I overrated this fight, but I was wrong... I know Cotto's the better boxer, but when you have someone who punches stronger than you, and doesn't feel your punches.... and he keeps coming at you..

    there's no way you can win..

    KO & TKO are the same to me, but yeah he didn't go to sleep. I was happy to see them waive the towel. Live to fight another day. MMA tapouts are a great example to boxing (that's a compliment).

    Also mma doesn't have the emphasis on records and that’s helps as well.

    boxing is slowly but surely moving in that direction. smart guys like Cotto, and the guy is sharp in interviews, understand it's just a sport and business. The other thing I liked about the fight is that even though they tried to make it Puerto Rico vs Mexico most fans saw it as two great fighters.

    I just saw this fight on HBO replay tonight and WOW, what a war. I don't want to say that Cotto can't ever beat him because he won a number of RDs decisively. The fight was about even through 10 rds. Margarito's pressure is so ing intense. He is not as skilled as Cotto, might not hit as hard but has an in-human gas tank and a chin that is so GOOD, i am not sure if you hit the man over the head with a DAMN crowbar he'd go down. He just wore Cotto out, by walking through his best shot, time and again, while making Cotto pay a heavy price for it almost every time. He killed Cotto to the body in this fight. Cotto can win a rematch but one thing he has to do that he didn't in this fight, is hold on to Margarito, when he is trapped in those corners. When Cotto moved his feet, and used his jab, he controlled the action in the center of the ring. Every time he got run down by Margarito into the corner, he got into trouble. He landed shots but paid big time with hard counters, from Margarito. When he needs a break, he has got to hold on to him, let the ref break them apart and go right back to boxing his man. of a war, hopefully they do it again.

    good summation. I would like to see Delahoya and Cotto mix it up first. Cotto needs to recoup and knocking out Delahoya would do wonders for regaining his confidence.

    After watching Margerito's post fight interview, it sounded like Delahoya had made some kind of promise to fight him if he beat Cotto and was basically calling Oscar out to keep it. I can't see Oscar fighting him though, he would get destroyed. It would be better and more lucrative for him to follow through with trying to fight the smaller Manny Pacqoiu...

    why did Cotto keep going down to a knee? Your saying that's his way of tapping out?
