Cotto vs Margarito - the rematch - Saturday night chat/fight thread

[marbleheadmaui]

brandon Rios is getting beaten at his own game.

[CFH]

Murray actually looking quite good thus far. Early days yet though.


Rios is usually better than this.

Rios is usually much better than this. He looks like a shadow of himself out there.

He's getting beat by malnutrition IMO. Murray is not a better fighter than Rios.

[Nameless]

4-1 Murray.

I'd thought that by now, Rios would start his bulldozer mission but he seems very sluggish and doesn't have super footwork.

[CFH]

Murray starting to fade, but showing a ton of heart.

[Gandalf]

Rios finally waking up now and Murray looking a bit of a mess. Sudden turnaround.

I have it 3-2 Murray after 5. Rios having a good round 6.

Rios was in some trouble with Miguel Acosta. Can't wait for him to get to 140 and face guys who are the same size that will put him on his ass.

[Nameless]

4-2 Murray, last one (6th) to Rios.

Rios did turn a lot of heat on, let's see if it'll turn the tide.

[Gandalf]

Woah, what a mess. I think Rios has made his mark and it's hard to see that face holding up.

[CFH]

Wow, Murray looks like he got hit with a sack of doorknobs. Guy is not going to be a pretty sight tomorrow.

[CFH]

No need for a deduction there. That was the first low blow and not blatant.

[armin]

Wow a point just like that I guess this one shoulda refed mares agbeko

[Hulk]

Murray is being very competitive, but I'm not sure if he's winning or not. I have it about even.

Rios looks slower than usual.

[GuyIncognito76]

Fight has turned, and it probably won't matter but that was a shocking points deduction.

[captainanddew]

don't get the deduction. I don't recall alot of low blows and I don't recall warnings. And it was not a horrific low blow.

Yes, Rios is winning the fight, but HBO's crew keeps talking like he is steamrolling Murray and I think alot of the rounds are much more competitive than they have made it seem.
