By Keith Terceira - The dust from this weekends “Battle” between Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto has not even cleared and already thoughts of a rematch are building anticipation in my gut. As predicted Margarito’s uppercuts, strength, chin, and relentless attack stole the show and he prevailed against the odds makers. Antonio Margarito is the man of the hour and he has long deserved his place in the limelight.
Is Miguel Cotto a finished champion who has been exposed?
I think not, if anything in my book he showed bigger potential than prior to his loss. In his defeat I have gained a new respect for the Puerto Rican native that I had reserved until after he faced what many believe to be the toughest fighter in the division. Though the toughest, Margarito is not undefeatable.
Let’s get one thing straight form the beginning of this piece this is not a knock on Margo or in any way a slap in his direction. It is simply my own thoughts of where Cotto and his camp went wrong in their game plan against the constant pressure of Antonio Margarito. It is also my perspective on why another fight could possibly favor Cotto, unless done to quickly , where I then feel it favors Margarito. [details]
