Quitto remains perfect
That was a seriously bullshit blow he delivered there. Intentional, but in the heat of the moment, I can't blame Margarito. The worst I could see is the ref taking a point, both for that and for the 2x low blow, but it wouldn't of made a difference...Cotto still would of been TKO'd.
if he had of taked a point off it would have made a much bigger diference then you might think Cotto gets 30-45 sec of recovery enough to make it out of the round maybe and then another minute could have made all the difference to the outcome but we will never know
i agree it was in the heat of the moment but it didn't seem to do too much damage if you think back to Jones vs Griffin it was two big punches which left him worse off
then why have the rule?
the law should be applied
So you would be ok with Cotto getting a cheap W when he was clearly beaten?
How about when Pacman punched MArquez in the 3rd knockdown in the 1st fight?
If there is clear intent, sure DQ him... otherwise don't.
It would be a travishamockery if he was DQ'ed. There was already one horriable DQ this year we didn't need another one. Cotto got beat. End of story.

your mum got robbed...
u mad ? ... u furious ?...
he got hit because he kneeled at the point margarito threw the punch
i'm joking, i'm happy Quitto got his ass beat
your mum got robbed...
u mad ? ... u furious ?...
he got hit because he kneeled at the point margarito threw the punch
he didn't, he kneeled at the point when Margarito was going to hit him with his left, he withdrew that punch and hit him with the right when he was down.

So obvious to anyone with any boxing knowledge what so ever that he held the punch back and there was no menace in the punch what so ever, Cotto got his ass handed to him as I predicted, plain and simple over rated like so many fighters out there, no heart and no balls. Jeff (no left hook) Lacy springs to mind.
he still hit him when he was down, thats a DQ
I'm no expert so I asked an expert for guidance on the matter and this is the response I got:
Well you know it depends on the circumstance, there are factors to consider, many factors. Was the downed fighter the house fighter, was the downed fighter the money fighter, was he paying and how much was he paying, and how bad are your gambling debts because a referee has to keep the wolves from the door. It's important to be fair. But firm.
In this circumstance I think the best course of action would be to leave Miguel bleeding on the floor for seven minutes while the referee asks other people what to do before disqualifying Margarito and then saying it was all about the safety of the fighter. I'm fair but I'm firm.

the more i see that clip the more i have to say it was UN-intentional by margarito.
think of how fast that happened in real time; then add in the adreneline (sp???) that margarito must have felt during the fight.
it was an illegal blow...it was late...but wasnt SO late that it was intentional.
a stricter ref may have warned him...and at the MOST took a point...or took a point for the two low blows...but even so margarito would have still won the fight even if two points were lost on penalties because he stopped cotto...cotto could have won EVERY round up until he was stopped...it wouldnt have made a difference.
the only arguement i can see being valid is if the ref allowed cotto 5 mins to recover...then i can see some arguing he would have made it to the final bell and possibly earned a victory...
even if the ref gave him 5 mins...he still had to win the last two round to earn a victory because after 10 two refs had it 96-94 for margarito...
so cotto would have to win the remander of the 11th...making it:
105-104 for margarito...
then cotto would have to have won the 12th...
making it 114-114...
so it would have been a majority draw unless a point WAS taken away...then cotto would have won 114-113...on two scorecards...
point is i can see why some are mad he wasnt allowed 5 mins...thats the only arguement i see.
but i dont think ANY ref in their right mind would DQ a fighter for that late illegal blow by margarito in a fight of that caliber...i can see it for some fighter fighting a 4 round fight and its his 3rd pro fight or something not as important but NOT on a major ppv fight.
thats why margarito wasnt charged with the low blows... but warned...
cotto did lose a point against zab but those were just low...they were right on the cup...unintentional or not...those are what you would call SERIOUS low blows...
like i said i can see a point deduction in the most severe of cases but even so at that point i believe cotto was too far gone to have won another round.

hey dumb ass cotto was very low several times and its the refs job to come in after cotto went down he was slow in doing so and its a judgement call. Second bayles is one of the best referees in the sport and did a great job, your an idiot for questioning his performance. Third a fighter is only disqualified if he hits the guy while he is down and the receiving fighter is not able to continue due to that blow. EDUCATE YOURSELF! now log off and disappear for a while sore loser! Take the beating like a man cotto has not made one excuse it's funny losers like you make them for him.
