Were it a ten round fight, Cotto wins

Official judge score had Margo up on 2 of the judges going into 11. had this been a 10 rnd fight margo still wins.
:deal

 

But it's pointless winning rounds, if at the same time you're sustaining a beating, a beating that will ultimately cost you the fight....

.....so talking about the scores at the time of stoppage is irrelevant.

Cool?

(I think Margo was level after 10 anyway)

 

Cotto didn't dominate ****
Margarito was walking him down and winning the whole entire fight
Cool.

 

I had Cotto narrowly up but it didnt surprise me that Margo broke his heart basically and broke him down..

What a fight

 

let them try to justify, it's not easy to live down all the " I'm the boxing expert and you all don't know ****" talk that was going on before the fight.

 

:yep:yep:yep:yep

 

Cotto was winning early, no question. Winning late into the fight, but Margarito just applied so much pressure. Amazing fight.

Edit: This is why Championship fights go on so long. They test a fighter in every capacity.

 

Seriously though, it was a great fight. Cotto is amazing -- the hard, clean shots he was throwing even when hurt would have knocked out most.

But Margarito ain't most. Amazing guts, pressure and will victory for Margarito.

 

.....:blood
and if frogs only had wings, they'd be eagles!

 

Irrelevant. The last 2 rounds are called "champion rounds" for a reason.

 

i had it even after 10 rounds

 

Both you and Jim Lampley suck a big dick.

 

I don't know that Cotto would've necessarily won it if it were 10 rounds. Prety dumb point to bring up. Besides, it took Margo 11 rounds to wear down and finish Cotto while still giving away that 1st round. Had it been scheduled for only 10, Margo might have started hacking away at Cotto that very 1st round and still stopped Cotto inside the limit if the fight went like it did here.
