This needs bringing up: HBO and its grosse bias!

[Lance Uppercut]

Cotto won some of the early rounds, but did not "dominate" any round.

He wasn't dominating, but he did edge out just about every round from 1 to 7, which on paper would like like he was dominating.

There was no edging about rgs 2 or 6 Margarito clearly took those rounds.

Some are acting as if This was entirely two different fights with Cotto putting on a damage free boxing clinic through six rounds and the roof just collapsed out of no where starting in the 7th ??Cottos boxing & footwork was top notch without a doubt but he was being effected & feeling the strength/power difference from the jump off point.He absorbed gradual, accumulating damage until the end,Especially with those inside uppercuts.

Very pissed off with Max Kellerman and Jim Lampley just completely ignore Toni's work and then Lampley starts crying at the end he was literally sobbing as he was speaking at the exit credits.

The 2nd round told the story of how the fight would end...early in the round Toni threw a hook to the body that made cotto's body get thrown into the ropes, that was vicious and those shots drained cotto. Then in the latter part of the round Cotto caught Toni with an uppercut that snapped Toni's head back and Toni laughed at him just as he did with Cintron, at that point he knew he could take his shots.

And although I would give the 6th round to Cotto I think at that point in the fight it is when Cotto realized he was gonna need a miralcle. He came out from his corner and made the sign of the cross before the bell rang...clearly asking for divine intervention at that point.

Yeah even though i thought Cotto won the first 6 rounds i never felt like he was spanking margarito. Margarito was hangin right with cotto the whole fight. He seem to be the fresher fighter also throughout the whole fight. While cotto was winning you could seem him clearly getting tired while Margarito seem to be just getting started.

To me the fight was clearly heading in the direction it did from about round 6 on down.
