I had Cotto winning on my unofficial scorecard 8-2 ... What did you guys have at the time of the stoppage? (unofficially) all comments welcome ...
i'm with you Fitz. I had it 7 rounds to 3 easily. I actually had a sweep for Cotto the 1st 6 rounds. I think while he was putting on a masterful boxing performance, he was allowing himself to lean against the ropes too much and trading with marg. he would have easily sticked and move. but marg wore him down.
I think I had Miguel Cotto two rounds in front. I think he dominated Margarito early on in the sense he landed more punches. Nobody actually dominates Margarito by hurting him or demoralising him because it can't be done, I don't think. Cotto was finished after those two uppercuts in round 11. Cotto is no quiter, he took a real beating in there. True warrior.
I had Cotto ahead - but as stated above had he survived the 11th round - Margarito would have moved firmly into the lead.
