    I agree..i dont think people gave Margo much credit for that performance. He started to really impose his will on Paul in the second half of the fight and began hitting him on a regular basis. I was never really impessed with Margarito but after that fight he earned my respect- with the exception of him beeing a sore looser.

    Bruno - McCall.

    Bruno was out on his feet in the 12th and just hung on for a decision.
    If there had been one more round, McCall would have TKO'd him in the 13th.

    You forget that it was Margarito who lost the final round. If anything, Williams showed us something by regrouping after the 11th to come back and pull the fight out in the 12th. Margarito did next to nothing in the round he absolutely needed so I'm not buying that he would have done much in the next 3 had it been a 15 rounder.

    I said Wlad-Peter. Not Peter-Toney or Peter-Shufford. Did you see the Wlad-Peter fight?

    Morales vs Barrera 3. Morales would have killed Barrera if the fight had one more round. Barrera was beaten basically bent over and kept holding on to Morales like his life depended on it.
