Despite being opened, Plasterito's right eye is somehow holding up.

 

Cotto more effective. LaPorte feels Cotto.

 

Anyone who doesn't have cotto up 5-0 needs their glasses broken and changed.

 

Smoger needs to cup it.

 

margarito is like a zombie from these crappy movie. No matter what you hit him with, he continue going forward

 

Max made a rare good point... no body work from Cotto

Cotto HAS to sit down on some shots, Margarito will walk through these half-power, retreating shots all night... Miguel is not Willie Pep, he can't win a fight that way

 

I think he Hurt margarito with that hook with 30 seconds left.

Round 6: Cotto...?

 

Cotto winning by a mile on the cards for sure, but the psychology of the fight is similar to the first, he HAS to sit down on some shots and go to the body

 

The key difference is Plasterito's wraps haven't done any damage in the first half like the first fight, so hopefully Cotto can stay strong and win a decision.

 

I still have it 6-0 Cotto

 

His lip is spotty but apart from that, I don't see the welts and weals of their first encounter.

 

:: ::

Very true, his chin is crazy really, and the amount of sustained punishment he can take without getting worn down.

Even after that Pacquiao beating, he is the same.

 

6-0 cotto. Sheridan using the "marquez" logic. Well it was his best round so far, i guess he won it hahaha

 

5-1 for cotto.

 

agree with Irish, that hook stopped Margarito for a moment

 

Weird thing is, Plasterito is FAR more aggressive in this than against Pacquiao.

He was more hesitant against Manny, despite coming forward.

I wonder if it was the speed of the punches or power that discouraged him.

 

i bet cotto has landed 100 more flush shots to this point, at least 100

Round 7: Cotto

 

I gave Cotto the 7th on clean effective punching and ring generalship.

Thats my pingz, and I'm voyzing it.

 

These guys don't know wtf they're talking about, Cotto has always been a boxer puncher, even early in his career, he was never a pressure fighter.

 

Garcia telling MARGARITO to go to the body...which he has done much....

 

Margarito barely passed that finger-test.

 

Cotto's wife has enormous tits

 

Every time Cotto comes off the ropes with a hard hook to the head he lands it... he should try that trick a few more times

 

Yeah, and they're real tits too, not bits of plastic.

 

Cool, Cotto gets a breather.

 

cotto stamina seems to be holding up
