What if the Cotto-Margarito went the Distance

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

two of the judges had it 6-4 for Toni and one had it even. But what scares me is that the announcers were driving forward such an incredible campaign for Cotto it almost seemed like they were trying to prepare you for the scorecards and make you think that it could have been scored a cotto fight. I was thinking up to that point when they said what the scorecards were that If TOni had not knocked him out he would have been robbed.

If Cotto doesnt go down in the 11th and it would have gone to the scores, thers's no way you can call it a robbery.

You obviously are very happy for your guy and understandably so but those early rounds were all Cotto. Yea he was fading fast and going backward but he was still landing often with much cleaner and crisper more telling shots so for you to say robbery is just ridiculous.

Tony won and he deserved it. If Cotto was evr gonna lose, I'm glad it was to a class act like Tony. That took away some of the sting for me since I'm a Margarito fan as well.

Cotto should have been up 7-3 barring 3 knockdowns which was plausible there is no way Margarito should have been able to come back.

But he did... Hey! Remember when you said it was anyone who thought Margarito had a chance was an idiot? I remember. That was awesome

That was largely to rile people up, but I also wrote that Margarito had a very good chance of beating Cotto in another thread.

I'm just breaking your balls.

yes very interesting.....but I do believe even though Cotto was land more shots I think that judging the more effective punching from Margarito should have won him some of the rounds. Also I think aggression should not be over looked and should be scored more over pitty pat type fighters such has Cotto.

I think Saturday night might have showed Cotto to be an average puncher at this weight.


Job Biscuit (It was a classic boxer v's brawler match up)!!!

well if cotto wer to have got up after one knocked down then went to the 12th i know cotto would of laid it all on the line and won that last round and won a majority descision or possibly a split descision
GREAT FIGHT THO

with one knockdown in the 11th it would have been 106-102 on two of the cards and 105-103 on the other so he couldnt have won it im sure

[Shroomy]

I had Cotto up before the 11th.

And after 11th, with 1 Knockdown, possibly still 1 up, 2 knockdowns, level, possibly 1 down.
