Cotto/Margo II

[Mars_ax]

Margarito has a really fucked up face now. His left eye looks lazy and wide. It is almost like he is auditioning for a role in a Pirates of the Caribbean film. I think Margarito has a style that is all wrong for Cotto, but something about that eye makes me feel weird. It is too open whilst the other is opening and closing like normal. That eye took a pounding, so I wonder if it is really up to scratch.

As for Mars Ax, if you really have no issues with an 8-4 Manny scorecard, then you really have no respect for the sport yourself. It is the kind of card that everybody should be angry about. It isn't just that Marquez lost, but that he was seemingly adrift even going into the championship rounds. It wasn't 'by all accounts' a close fight but if it makes you feel better to think so then fair enough. Polls do suggest otherwise though.

But not to derail the thread I encourage others to concentrate on Cotto/Margarito 2. That was me taking slight umbrage with what I felt to be some unfair comments.

Miles, I've already said in other threads, that a 116-112 scorecard for Pacquiao seems ridiculous, whereas 115-113 and a draw (114-114) on the other 2 cards didn't seem all that outrageous. I have however, yet to see where some big "injustice" was done and/or some "robbery" occurred, so why should I be "angry"? Do I think that Pacquiao really "won" the fight? Probably not... Do I really give a flying fuck that Marquez "lost" the fight? Nope, not at all, you may not like my answer, but i'm just being honest.
