Margarito doing very good work on the inside and he hurts Cotto for the first time in the fight. Margarito is relentless on the inside, he's winning this fight huge. Cotto is staying in the pocket though, what heart. I think the fight is turning into more of an actual fight now, which favors Margarito. Uppercuts are huge for the Mexican. Cotto's fighting back through adversity, lands some huge punches, but Margarito seems to just ignore them. Big round for Margarito, best of the fight so far. I'm loving this fight!

Margarito, 67-66

Cotto trying to use his footwork to set up better angles, he's showing respect for Margarito's power. He's realized he needs to box more if he wants to win, but he's got no problem engaging when he has to. Referee has had very little to do. Cotto using his jab to create space, as expected, Margarito could care less, he is determined. I don't think Cotto has ever faced this sort of pressure. Margarito's getting stronger as the fight goes on, but Cotto still trying to stick to his gameplan. Closer than the last round, but Margarito is slowly starting to take control of the fight in my opinion.

Margarito, 77-75
