Did someone suggest outright that the officials are biased for Cotto-Margarito?

    I think someone posted somewhere that the officials named for the fight were selected in a way to favor Cotto over Margarito. In other words, Cotto has other avenues than a KO to win this fight (i.e. decision, TKO). For Margarito, he must take the title by KO in order to become champion.

    So I want to know how people know that the boxing officials in the ring and at ringside are biased in favor of the champion? Let me list for you the referee and the three ring side judges to see if we can determine if their prior record in championship fight suggests any scoring preferences.

    Referee: Kenny Bayless
    Judge 1: Dave Moretti
    Judge 2: Jerry Roth
    Judge 3: Glen Hamada

    margarito is going to lose anyway. He has heart and courage but Cotto does too along with more skill and he is more versatile.

    I don't think they are bias. I think the fight is going to end by KO so I think the judges are irrelivant. I got Margarito 10th round KO.

    The fight only ends by stoppage if Margarito is winner. I don't see Cotto, Cintron, or any so-called big hitter at Welterweight knocking out Antonio Margarito.

    With all respect to Cotto's power, Antonio's resolve is much greater.

    He is the only Judge I look at sideways.
    (He gave Trinidad 3 of the first 4 rounds against ODLH)

    I think the ref is pretty good. These judges are involved in a lot of fights and boxrec sometimes reveals fights they have been involved in
