I had it 5-5 the people in front of me at the fight had it 6-4. lol, 6-4 for who?

Not sure who Laura Mars is but she best be hawt. http://www.theimagist.com/files/images/41R6N2RY5PL._SS500_.jpg

Cotto-Margarito Dave Moretti 95-95 Jerry Roth 94-96 Glen Hamada 94-96 2 of the Judges had Margarito winning 6 out of the first 10 rounds and 1 judge had it tied 5-5. This does not of course include the 2 knock downs that were in the 11th round. Personally, I had Cotto winning 6-4 in the first 10. what do you guys think? remember, I have nothing against margarito and I'm not a bigger fan of one or the other. I was truley happy for margarito winning this great fight. Agreed.......

They were looking at the AMOUNT of punches and how Marg was pressing the action. Thats not how a fight is scored. He was missing a lot and getting hit cleaner. How do you know what they were looking at? Are you Laura Mars?

HOW? He was moving and never stopped long enough to get good leverage and get his feet set. His punches were mostly when he was moving (his feet were moving so no real power) or squared up against the ropes. I say at least 70-80% of Cottos punches fall into this category. he stopped many times and set his feet to throw punches. he just would land 2-3 or 4 punch combos and than move away again. most of his punches on the move where jabs.

I was truley happy for margarito winning this great fight. you must be knew to boxing in las vegas....Pressure fighters always get and edge. alot of those rounds were close and when you see a fight were one guy is coming forward and the other is backing up its gives a certain impression. When you are out throwing your opponent especially when your opponent is hanging on the ropes alot it gives the judges a certain impression. There is no doubt if the fight when twelve rounds margarito wins on points i dont see how you can possible deny that.

They were looking at the AMOUNT of punches and how Marg was pressing the action. Thats not how a fight is scored. He was missing a lot and getting hit cleaner. yes in that amount he also landed plenty of good body shots and by pressing the action he controlled the tempo of the fight. just because cotto landed the pretty shots to the face it doesnt mean that his punches were more effective than margarito's shots. during the course of those rounds cotto was hurt a LOT more by margarito's body punches than margarito hurt by cotto's face shots.

u all need to stop listening to the hbo biased commentators and watch the fight on mute its really a sight watching a bloody fighter retreating while the other keeps backing him up against the ropes i can understand the judges scoring i had it 96-94 for margarito as well[/QUOT I DO AGREE WITH THAT, CUS WHEN I 1ST WATCHED IT ON SETANTA THEY HAD A DIFFERENT SET OF AMERICAN COMMENTATORS BUT THEN I DOWNLOADED IT AND THEY USUAL HBO COMMENTATORS WHERE ON KELLERMAN ET AL AND THEY DID MAKE IT SEEM LIKE COTTO WAS ALL OVER MARGARITO UNTIL THE 11TH. THE COMMENTATORS CAN SWAY U ALOT IF YOU TAKE IN WHAT THEY SAY TOO MUCH. I CAN SEE WHY THE JUDGES HAD MARGARITO UP..SUM JUDGES LIKE SEEING THE FIGHTER PRESS THE FIGHT AND AWARD THE FIGHTER WHO CONTROLS HOW THE FIGHT GOES WHICH WAS MARGARITO... PERSONALLY I HAD IT AS A DRAW NOT INCLUDING THE 11TH

The more powerful shots were by Margs clearly. You just dont understand that a left hook to the body is better than a straight right hand. Now the straight right is flashier and looks better because it lands on the face. But I'll give you 3 straight rights to my 1 left hook to the body. And I guarantee that I win every time. Margs was landing the Harder more Powerful shots. Cotto punches had no real knockout power behind them because his feet werent set. How can you say Cotto was landing the more powerful shots when his feet were either A) Moving and off balance or B) squared up? By your theory Margs was winning. alot of cotto's punches had knockout power behind them. I don't think cotto has ever landed more cleaner power punches with any other fighter before. Margarito is just so impossible to knockout. any other fighter would've been laying on the canvas by alot of cotto's punches.

Dont look a the flashiness. Look at all the body punches that Cotto was getting hit with clean. Look at the first round and really count the meaningful body shots Margs hit Cotto with. There were 2-4 right hooks to the sternum that nobody seems to notice. Just watch it on mute. Cotto ran more than boxed. When he did box he looked good. But when you turn your entire body away from your opponent and cover up the whole side of your face with your arm, while not looking at the other fighter, you are running. I truley believe cotto landed harder punches in that fight. its just that marg has an iron chin and cotto can't take punishment nearly as well as margarito.

margarito was controlling the pace of the fight and landing lots of good body shots than arent as "pretty" looking as face punches but more effective. i had margarito winning 96-94 as well and glad the judges were lookin at more than just the face punches cotto was landing

I thought the judges were way off base and that is what I was afraid of. They were rewarding the man that was throwing punches but not landing them. Cotto was landing more and landing crisper and heavier punches. I had it as a draw but I felt it could of been 6/4 Cotto up. I gave Margarito a round that could of easily went to Cotto. The point is refs really cant judge a fight, just because you throw a lot if the punches are missing or blocked that shouldnt mean anything. yeah exactly. I gave cotto 6 clear rounds and the other 4 could've gone either way but I chose to give them to margarito cuz I thought he landed more bigger punchers even though I thought cotto was still landing more punches even later in the fight.
