Yea V3, you already know how the commentary went. Max was talking about how Margarito was wining but manny kept saying that Cotto was landing the harder, cleaner punches. Lederman was saying similar, basically saying that Margarito looked busier but Cotto was doing the damage and winning the fight. If I remember correctly two judges had Margarito up by a round and the other had it even at the stoppage. Good thing it didnt matter because I agree that Cotto could have got a Vegas nod. I dont know about you, but I would love to see them do it again.
While watching, I was rooting for cotto but kept telling my brother there's now way he is gonna win this fight. Margarito is chasing him down and throwing a million punches. Wether they are landing or not, he gave the impression as you said that he was kicking Cottos ass easily. The final punch stat numbers were insane. If you only saw them and not the fight, you would have thought Cotto was fighting a 3rd grader, seriously. They were as lopsided as Ive ever seen. margarito threw almost double in every category but connect percentage was damn near tripple for Cotto. Just goes to show you that the numbers can be very deceiving? Like I always say, fighters need to handle business and not let it go to the cards if at all possible. We have seen far too many BS decisions, cough...DON KING.....cough! LOL!! As for the crowd, did you see any extra caricular activities in the parking lot afterwards? Mexican and Puerto Rican fans can be die hard and definately harsh toward each other. I know that place was filled to the roof with emotion. You could hear it on the tv, but it had to be incredible in person no doubt!
