    I was a bit surprised that they did not seem to treat that huge bulge on Margarito's right eye... Why did they not seem to the Enswell after seemingly the first round it started to bulge and swell? His eye was almost shut, yet, they didn't seem to use the enswell at all...

    Also, don't the rules dictate that if the doctor of the ref want to take a loot at a fighter, they shouldn't do it during the minute during the round, which is the corner's time to work on the fighter, but instead when the round starts by calling a timeout? If so, just work on the damn thing and tell the ref/doc to check the fighter after they're done working on him... I've only seen corner men do this very rarely... The ref/doc won't give the corner more time when the bell ring and the round starts, so why let them waste the little time you have? You're certainly not helping your fighter doing so...

    And the ref, even if a fighter can't see from one eye, is that really a good reason to stop the fight? In this context, where Margacheato was losing nearly every round, it can be a good excuse to stop the match... But in another context, a boxer could theoretically continue boxing with one eye... Some boxers continue to box with a broken hand, dislocated shoulder, etc... So does having one eye shut really automatic fight stoppage?
