Grammar
Can someone help me rewrite these two paragraphs?
I need to rewrite these two paragraphs differently but keep the information similar, but I'm not very good at grammar so I was wondering if someone could help me out on this?
Margarito, traditionally a slow starter,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheBattle%28boxing%29#cite_note-44promised to come out fast, but it was Cotto who got off to a better start by throwing numerous punches and using plenty of movement. Cotto picked up where he left off in the second round, coming straight at Margarito while easily getting out of harm's way when Margarito attempted to counter. That dynamic changed about a minute into the round, when Margarito landed a right hand that momentarily had Cotto along the ropes. Margarito took his attack to Cotto's body, but Cotto landed several left hooks. Blood began coming down from Cotto's nose, but didn't deter him from ending the round by landing a punch on Margarito. Mobility was the key for Cotto in the third round, effectively mixing boxing and brawling while attempting to minimize the blood flow from his nose and a small cut over his left eye. Margarito kept targeting the body, but drew two separate warnings for low blows in the span of less than a minute. Margarito closed the gap enough in the fourth round by landing a right uppercut and attacking Cotto's body to slow him down. In the fifth round, Cotto offered plenty of side to side movement which frustrated Margarito. Cotto stayed on the move and would land a flurry of punches before immediately getting out of harm's way. Margarito landed a straight right hand that had Cotto temporarily unsteady with ten seconds to go, but Cotto dodged all of the ensuing punches until the final bell.
Although Margarito didn't land a lot of punches, he remained the busier fighter in the sixth round. A left hook to the body had Cotto on the defensive early in the seventh round, but he was able to avoid further trouble. A right hand from Cotto slowed down Margarito, but he came back with punches that forced Cotto to clinch. Margarito controlled the majority of the round, throwing 130 punches in the round according to Compubox. Cotto was urged by his corner in between rounds to stay off the ropes. He obliged, offering lateral movement throughout the round but with about 30 seconds left, Margarito was able to trap Cotto in a corner, but Cotto managed to escape. It was more of the same in the ninth round, with Cotto going back and forth between southpaw and conventional stance. Margarito kept charging forward, though Cotto would counter enough to avoid Margarito. The same pattern applied as in the previous two rounds, with Margarito charging forward and Cotto using movement while looking for opportunities to counter. Margarito immediately closed the gap in the last 15 seconds, landing a left hook, left uppercut and right hand that had Cotto against the ropes.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheBattle%28boxing%29#cite_note-MBOWGBR-46Midway through the eleventh round, A left uppercut by Margarito left Cotto defenseless as he took a knee after Margarito landed a right uppercut and two right hands.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheBattle%28boxing%29#cite_note-HBO-47Cotto managed to get up, but he went down again, despite Margarito not landing another punch. The referee moved in to count, but Evangelista Cotto, Cotto's trainer and uncle, climbed on to the ring apron and threw in the towel. The official time of the stoppage was 2:05 of round eleven.
