Those very reasons will still apply going into the rematch!

BUT, there is a real difference here. Cotto was hurting bad by some Margarito uppercuts and particularly bodywork, even in the rounds early when the commentators were giving Cotto a shut-out. I didn't think it was that easy, you could tell the shots were really taking it out of Cotto, even the very early ones. If that was due to the loaded wraps (I would bet my bottom dollar his wraps were loaded in the first Cotto fight), then the effect of the workrate in the rematch will not even be comparable to that in the first fight.

I think Margarito is in for a good shot, but Cotto is favourite for a reason here IMHO.

Yep, and I think CEO said the above also. Margaritos punches weren't nearly as brutal as in the first fight, despite similar pressure. Loaded gloves, I think we finally got our answer.
