KEVIN IOLE is terrible...

Opinion varies on Margarito-Williams By Kevin Iole Sunday, Jul 15, 2007 12:03 am EDT CARSON, Calif. - The media covering the Paul Williams-Antonio Margarito WBO welterweight title fight had a varied opinion on the outcome: Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports: Margarito, 116-112 Tim Smith, New York Daily News: Draw, 114-114 Steve Springer, Los Angeles Times: Draw, 114-114 Bill Dwyre, Los Angeles Times: Margarito, 115-113 Steve Kim, MaxBoxing.com: Margarito, 115-113 Doug Fischer, MaxBoxing.com: Margarito, 115-113 Jerry Magee, San Diego Union-Tribune: Williams, 116-112 Robert Morales, Los Angeles Daily News: Williams, 115-113 Carlos Arias, Orange County Register: Williams, 115-113 David Avila, Riverside Press Enterprise: Draw, 114-114 Francisco Salazar, Fightnews.com: Draw, 114-114 Wow a I'm glad these people aren't actual judges.

Maybe it has to do with his close association with Top Rank. I heard they flew his entire family in for the Cotto-Judah fight.....nuff said. Hey, they gotta lick the hand that feeds them, right? It never fails. So sad.:boxing:

yahoo's boxing coverage is a joke.... iole's columns are just as bad... he has no business in boxing imo..

I agree that score is ridiculous. I know he's been doing a lot of UFC stuff of late so maybe he's forgot how to score a boxing match. The taste of Dana's cock has gone to his head. I sat right behind him on press row and the man was openly cheering fro Margarito. It was strange to see writers rooting for one fighter over the other. See.

Of course you would, you masterbate to margarito everyday, 115 to 112 is the close it could have been, margarito dominated the 10 and the 11 round, and the other two rounds I gave to margarito were very close.

He does some good stuff for boxing on yahoo, but overall he talks out of his ass all the time, and sometimes it hardly seems like he knows what he's talking about! He scored the Margarito fight 116-112 for Margarito!!!!! That is LAUGHABLE, especially considering Williams CLEARLY won 5 of the first 6 rounds. There is no conceivable way margarito won at all, let alone by that margin. The absolute WORST the fight could be scored is 115-113, in favor of WILLIAMS.

there is no way margorito won that fight, williams CLEARLY won the fight, the only clear rounds that margorito won, was rounds 7 and 11, other than that williams won his rounds more convincingly and margorito started way to slow and was always playing catch up, he lost at least 5 of the first 6 rounds, even though i gave all the first 6 rounds to williams. williams then closed the show in the 12th by outboxing margorito and winning the round. it might have been closer had margortio won the last round, but he did not.

i had it 115-113 margarito. he dominated the second half of the fight and left williams bloody and beat up. Try to be more obejective, when your favourite fighters fight. There is no fucking way Williams lost all rounds from the 6th on.

He should be banned from America.

i had it 115-113 williams. some rounds couldve gone either way. but yea there was no way tony won. i said it b4 the 12 rd; he needs this to draw but he didnt win it. tony KO cotto any day and i'd still pick him if him and williams had a rematch. im what u call a real fan.

I happen to agree with you. 116-112 Margarito is insane. I guess the only way you get there is if you add up all the rounds that any person in the media or judge gave to Margarito. From what I can tell some people gave him rounds 3,5,6,7,8,10,11 but I have no idea what other round could be the 8th. That being said I scored the fight 115-113 Williams and I only gave Margarito 1 of the first 6 rounds. Good fight but Margarito just never landed enough to win.

i had it 115-113 margarito. he dominated the second half of the fight and left williams bloody and beat up. Of course you would jackass. How about the first 6 rds. where Marg did absolutely nothing. Marg won 4 rds. at the most.

Thats horrible.

I don't understand Margarito supporters at all, but I'm glad they are finally being ridiculed. I mean there is no excuse for claiming Margarito was even close to winning that fight. Williams dominated the damn fight.
