Margarito upsets Cotto and is the new WBA welterweight champion. This was a good Top Card main event.
In this match I like Cotto (27yrs old) (32-0 26KO)because he knows how to use his jabs, attack the body and score points in bunches. Cotto has the edge in talent, technique and versatility. Margarito is the naturally bigger man with the sturdier chin and busier in the punches thrown area.
In this bout Cotto scored more jabs than Margarito but Margarito scored more in power punches. Margarito (30 yearls old)(36-5 26KO) came tonight to brawl which is the correct game plan to defeat a current champion. Throughout the bout, Margarito maintained the dominant position and keep Cotto back paddling and keept him in the ropes most of the time.
In Round 11 Margarito's punches hurt Cotto and caused him to kneel down for a knockdown. For the second time Cotto kneeedl down for a knock down due to Margaritos punches. Fight is stopped. KO for Margarito.
Whats next for the Welterweights (147pounders)?
Margarito(30 yearls old)(37-5 27KO) vs Oscar De la Hoya (35 yrs Old)(39-5 30KO).
This makes more sense than Manny Pacquaio(29 years old)(47-3 35KO) vs Oscar De la Hoya. I read Manny wants $30 million to fight Oscar. That way Manny can retire. I will surely miss Manny if he retire. Also Oscar has the advantage in size and reach.
