i think "punish" is too strong of a word when talking about margarito...remember this is the guy that all the "best" fighters like delahoya and mayweather did not want any part of...but it will be a great fight i can not take anything away from cotto he is a great fighter

**SoDarkTheCon** · July 27th, 2008

I was at a card game last night, and of course the dude had a coolsat 5000...lmao. So now i have to watch the replays too see the beat down myself. Whose next ?

I guess the only good thing for Cotto is now HBO will stop running that show on the fight everyday, easier to forget he got his *** handed to him. Is it just me or do the lighter weight guys always provide a much more entertaining fight then the heavy weights, boxing and ufc.

**RICKSBEACH** · July 27th, 2008

ahhhhhhhh...what can I say
14 and 2 is still pretty good in my books.. I took this loss in the chin ed and I'm still standing staring in your eyes..
Heads up Basscat!! I am Canadian!! lol..

**chill dawg** · July 27th, 2008

Well it wasn't the fight I thought it was going to be, and I guess "Cotto" couldn't agree with me more. The difference is he is still collecting his purse, and I'm paying out my a**.

**wolflett** · July 27th, 2008

Margarito is a stud. A great fight, Cotto take a serious beating. I heard rumors he could possibly have a broken jaw and nose.
