Cotto vs Margarito II Fight Result: Cotto Beats Margarito via TKO
Miguel Cotto defeated the bloodied Antonio Margarito via TKO on the ninth round of their fight last Saturday at the Madison Square Garden in New York to retain his WBA super welterweight title.
Cotto dominated the fight from the onset with crisp jabs and upper cuts that frequently flanded into Margarito. The turning point of the match, however, came in the 3rd round when Cotto opened a cut on Margarito’s right eye, the same eye that was surgically repaired after his lopsided loss to Manny Pacquiao in November of last year. By the 8th round, the eye had closed and Margarito fought with impaired vision. Cotto continued to press the attack with more head shots forcing the ringside physician Dr. Anthony Curreri to take a look at the swollen Margarito eye at the end of the 9th round.
Referee Steve Smoger called it a night three seconds into the 10th round and declared Cotto as the winner.
