i had it tied goin in to the 11th, but I could see why the other 2 judges had it for margarito, his pressure was too much and eventhough a lot of the punches didnt land when he had cotto on the ropes he was the aggreser that is why the other judges had him winning.
6-5 Cotto... I gave 10-10 in round 2
Round 2 is very close. I'm watching the fight again right now. I don't like to score even rounds at all, but if any round warrented a 10-10, it had to be Round 2 and maybe Round 4.
I had Cotto clearly won 5 of the first 6 also. There was also one round where Cotto dominated 2:45 of the round but Margarito hurt him at the very end so that one is kind of iffy and depends on how you score fights.
Either way Cotto 5 or 6 rounds and Margarito 4-5rounds going into the 11th. But the 2 KD's would've given Margarito a 2-3 point advantage going into the 12th round if Cotto had survived the 11th.
There was a definite shift in the fight after the 6th round. Cotto did well in the first half of the fight. I have him winning 5 rounds out of the first 6. I actually gave Margarito Round 4 and every round after 6.
I had it 6 to 4, 96-94. MI-GUEL Cotto. Classic, I gotta tell ya somethin', Margarito wasn't cuttin' that ring off until about the 6th round and only had slight succes because Cotto began to tire. Cotto got off betta in the first half of the fight, but once Tony caught up to him, the fight switched. Anyway, the 11th changed all this, so I'm gonna go practice making my voice go as high as it can when I get excited.......
MAD!
96-94, I had Cotto winning 5 of the first 6 and one more (9 or 10 maybe) after that. Every round except for a few of the first ones were closely contested though. I could see another round to Margarito or another one going to Cotto.
