Miguel Cotto lands punch on Antonio Margarito

SecondsOut.com - WBA super welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, 36-2-(29) scored a 10th round win over Antonio Margarito, 38-7-(27), at the sold out at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Saturday night.

Cotto built up an early lead by counter punching on the move. In round three Cotto opened up Margarito’s right eye, the same eye Margarito suffered an injury when he fought Manny Pacquiao .

Margarito upped the pace in the middle rounds but Cotto’s sharp punching on the move kept his nose in front. Margarito’s eye was now swollen shut by round seven, but he continually marched forward in a bid to break Cotto down but the champion still landed the more eye catching punches.

Ringside Doctors took a long look at Margarito’s eye at the beginning of round nine, but the bout continued. However, after 0.03 of the 10th round doctors had seen enough and advised the referee to stop the fight to save Margarito from sustaining a worse injury
