By Dan Ambrose: After seeing the Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito fight last night for the second time, I’m now even more convinced that Cotto was saved by the referee stepping in and halting the fight after the 9th round last week to prevent Cotto from being knocked out for a second time against the tough Mexican warrior Margarito. Cotto doesn’t deserve to move on and fight Manny Pacquiao again or face Floyd Mayweather Jr. for that matter. Cotto deserves Margarito one more time.

Cotto’s tainted victory over Margarito
By Dan Ambrose: Antonio Margarito feels that he could have kept fighting against WBA light middleweight champion Miguel Cotto if he was allowed to come out for the 10th. Unfortunately, Margarito was never given the chance because the ringside doctor stepped in and prevented Margarito from finishing the last three rounds of the fight. This prevented closure for both fighters and left it an unsatisfying result for all of those watched it.
