Miguel Cotto

Cotto, is the current WBA light middleweight (154 lbs) world champion. At 5'7" with a 67-inch reach, Cotto is somewhat undersized for the 154-pound class, though it hasn't been a factor yet. His professional career is over a decade old. He won his title from Yuri Foreman (28-2, 8 KOs) June 2010. He made his first title defense against Ricardo Mayorga (29-8, 23 KOs) this past March.

Antonio Margarito

Margarito defeated Cotto in their previous match by brutal TKO stoppage in round eleven in 2008. With a 73-inch reach, he will have a 6-inch advantage over Cotto. Throw in ultra-close fights with Daniel Santos and Paul Williams, in addition to fighting Mosley after getting busted with loaded gloves and one could say his record is better than it looks on paper. It might surprise some to know that the 33-year old has been fighting professionally for nearly 18 years.

Cotto vs Margarito II Figh Results

Miguel Cotto waited over three years to avenge a controversial loss to Antonio Margarito, and on Saturday his patience was rewarded by stopping the challenger via TKO after the ninth round.

The in-ring doctor at Madison Square Garden stopped the bout after examining Margarito's swollen right eye following an evenly-fought ninth round, keeping the WBA Jr. Middleweight title in Cotto's (38-2) camp.

While the ninth was close to call, the other eight rounds went clearly in favor of the champion, who caused the definitive gash above Margarito's eye as early as the third round. It was the same eye Margarito had surgery on following a brutal loss to Manny Pacquiao last year.
