Review: 2011-12-03, high pace, tough and exciting, the second fight between Miguel Angel Cotto and Antonio Margarito gets four stars (as their first fight). Miguel Angel Cotto (36-2-0) entered as the No.2 light middleweight in the world while Antonio Margarito (38-7-0) is not ranked as he doesn’t fight since November 13, 2010 (against Manny Pacquiao). Cotto vs Margarito 2 is valid for the WBA Super World light middleweight title (in their first fight Margarito defeated Cotto by TKO – July 26, 2008). Watch the video!

He didn’t get what he deserves. He deserves a prison sentence. He’s a perfect personification, of the corruption and the scum, that decent Mexicans, and Mexican Americans have to deal with everyday and destroyed their country.
Love this fight.
bloody boxing officials stop a becoming great fight.
nes, it was a great fight. The stoppage was justified. That eye was closed. What heart though !
I think they stopped the fight to soon because, I was seeing a swing in the fight, but on the other hand, I can see why the fight was stopped. Congrats to cotto for atleast getting the stoppage because of marga’s eye closing from those cotto left hooks.
very good exciting fight. Cotto was starting to be tired, i think he would have been koed if the fight was not stopped.
Its Payback Time ^_^
MARGARITO DESERVES TO FIGHT! HE CAN STILL PUNCH, VERY BAD DECISION
they’re no way the Margarito was going to knock out Cotto, remember this time Margarito didn’t have the Plaster paris, even if Margarito would have won the last two rounds, Cotto wins it by decision
i think it was one of the better stoppages i have seen… i dont think it would of gotten better for Margarito in the last 3 rounds… plus he will not quit (Margarito), he is a tough fighter but i think this move was a Good One… Good fight for Cotto… Now who is Next?…
i hate the fact that some people say that this is a set up fight. How is a doctor that is representing new york and top rank is in cotto’s side when both cotto & Margarito are both in top rank.. ignorants!!.. your coming in and doctors have that right eye in the back of the head. the doctors job is to get you out alive and healthy if he or she feels like you have taken to much than they stop it & thats what happened here
beutiful movement by cotto and great tatistics to win the fight
What is the name of Antonio Margarito’s entrance song?
Cartel de Santa – Bombos y Tarolas
i think margarito is done..better say im sure
COTTO EL MEJOR LIBRA POR LIBRA BOXEADOR TECNICO FELISITASIONES QUE TENGAS EXITO
How did they stop tthe fight too soon? When the round was over Margarito told the doc to stop it then when the doc came into the ring and looked at him and stopped it then he started to b*tch. The announcer were even talking about it. Did ya’ll even watch the damn fight or do ya’ll just go comment on sh*t ya’ll dont have a clue about?
