Just gonna come down to what these 3 judges prefer, agression or clean punching. I have nowager on this fight, and have Cotto up 2 so far thru 9 :0corn

Margarito is gonna have brain damage when he gets up in years. That jaw is gonna get him in trouble one of these days unless it is just filled with air and he puts it in after the fight:shrug:
damn, at least I got one right this weekend!!
Great fight.
Margo couldnt cut off the ring for shit, but his pressure was too much.
Cotto stopped moving his feet in the 11th and that was the end of it.

I said this when Cotto fought Gomez that i thought Gomez could hurt Cotto to the body, and then Gomez doesn't throw one punch to the body. Cotto is extremely vunerable to the body and it seem like every time Margarito hit him there he got hurt. These two fight again it will be the same result. I have to love all the hype Cotto had before the fight talking like he just walked thru Shane Mosley. Wasn't the fight i remember.
Cotto is THE ambassador of boxing. I was hoping for Margarito to win, but it was difficult so see THE ambassador beaten tonight. Cotto never adopted any negative tactic, he just used pure boxing throughout the fight. Fantastic, this was boxing as it best.
:clap: :clap: :clap:
Agreed bud!!!
I think the world of Cotto. He will fight anyone. A complete warrior till the end.
Congrats Man!!! I know you won the mother lode. I took in 2k plus and had my 1st xclent week, post cortez fiasco. It put me in the plus for July and looking to ad more w/clottey. I actually went out on a date tonight instead of watching the FOTY but it was all good :00hour :00hour :00hour
I'm happy for both of us Bro and any other winners this weekend :toast:
Hope the date was worth it!!!
one more thing...i watched segura for the first time and i can`t remember hating a fighter more(with maybe the exception of john ruiz or ali later in his career) ...
i was stunned...it looked like he had no clue in there...he was coming forward with his hands down,he would feint a right hand to the body and try and cuff the other guy behind the head with a wide,looping hook...
time and again....i`ve never seen anything like it....
when cancila figured out he just needed to throw straight punches,it was his fight to win...
wtf kind of style was that?...i give him credit...despite having his hands down and throwing these odd punches from unorthodax angles,he was shockingly hard to hit with flush shots....
it didn`t resemble boxing...the way he came around with that looping rabbit punch more resembled a jai alai player using a cesta....
i guess he`s effective with that style,but it was annoying the hell outta me...
i was glad he lost....
