Thread: Steve Smoger felt Margarito was turning the tide when the doctor robbed Margarito

Smoger: Margarito was turning the fight around on Cotto when it was stopped

Here is the man who was closest to the action...

I hope whoever wrote that article isn't getting paid.

He's right though, Margarito did catch Cotto with some beautiful 'shuts' in the 9th round.

I think Cotto was slowing and Margarito was still coming on. The main difference though was that Cotto learned from the last fight and Margarito's face doesn't hold up anymore. I yearn for the return of 15 round fights, 12 rounds isn't enough to separate the men from the boys. It will never happen though.

It was a karma stoppage. The eye.

Sometimes "LOL" just doesn't say it.

yea cause getting man handled and pushed into the ropes is a sure fire sign of the tide turning, Margarito landed a couple punches with no power and Cotto answered back, still winning the 9th round, that being said chime in Outspoken who obviously is gonna come in with his usual rant

Margarito fans should just be thankful that the fight was stopped the way it did. This prevented Antonio from getting blind.
