    I know why. It was the pressure. He was too busy running to throw to the body.

    You also have to be close to land budy punches and Margarito's uppercut was working well on the inside all night.

    Bullcrap! He did not made a single attempt, except the sole one that the ref warned it was too low in the first rounds.:doh:

    He was being deterred by getting punched in the face.

    The uppercuts or punches to the sternum

    seem to neutralize any body attacks.

    The best thing for me was, how Margarito EXPOSED the myth that Cotto was this squat unstoppable force who would break his bones and bulldoze over the top of him, an alarming amount of people picked Cotto by stoppage,... WHAT THE FUCK.......some of us knew who the REAL bulldozer was..though he isn't squat, he's a nasty, ganguly scyther who has further proven that he will fuck up any hard-nosed Marciano wannabe.

    as I remember, Margarito just did a good job of keeping his body guarded when he wasn't hitting Cotto. He has long arms.

    Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo (Russian: Андрей Романович Чикати́ло) (October 16, 1936—February 14, 1994) was a notorious Russian serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov, The Red Ripper or The Rostov Ripper. He was convicted of the murders of 52 women and children, mostly in the Russian SFSR, between 1978 and 1990 (some victims were murdered in the Ukrainian SSR and in the Uzbek SSR).

    The size difference was what killed Cotto. He was a twig compared to Cotto and could not get to the body to attack it. If he wants to fight big Welters he has to get a conditioning coach and beef up. Its reallys that simple... Paul Williams would also murder him if he came in as scrawny as he did.

    A great analogy was when frazier fought Foreman. Foreman was too big!! No body attack for Joe end of story.

    If he imporves a little bit on the first performance and makes it to the final bell, I'm sure Arum can provide two judges that'll see the fight the way Lampley calls it.

    That was his strategy in the first fight.

    That's why it's a fascinating picture,...this is what a 'monster' is, no horns, scales, razor sharp teeth, there's no special effects required, and he's snarking up at the sky, kind've snickering at the vandalism he cause on earth, before his capture.
