No idea how margarito got his license to box.

:lol1: Cotto still fought on his bike against a guy who is not supposed to be able to hurt him since he doesn't have plaster this time.. Face it, Cotto knows he's chinny and doesn't want to risk getting knocked down and shifting momentum the other way. Cotto fought smart, nothing else. You didnt answer my question though. Go re-read it if need be..

Margarito had opportunities to land and he did so why wasnt he effective with all the shots he landed? He got muscled into the ropes by a smaller man and couldnt do anything but land girl slaps..Maybe your eyes are as bad as Margarito. Who knows. :lol1: Cotto still fought on his bike against a guy who is not supposed to be able to hurt him since he doesn't have plaster this time..

The second that eye started to swell up in the early rounds I was thinking the exact same thing. NYSAC is a joke.how are they a joke?they couldn't have done this better imo. gave marg a license, the fight went on, and they stopped the fight at the right time, when it was clear margarito couldn't really win anymore. and not to repeat the mistake from pac-marg, when the ref/doc allowed that brutal beatdown for the full 12. that's how it's done man.

Yup, Bob Arum.

The eye is done, but Cotto fought on his bike. I was laughing the whole time. Margarito had opportunities to land and he did so why wasnt he effective with all the shots he landed?

Because Bob Arum has Connections and he PAYS PEOPLE OFF TO GET HIS WAY!

they fixed up margarito enough to get him cleared for a cotto fight ,and his last payday as well. there never was any other agenda out there - imo. particularly when you consider the fact that they jumped straight to a cotto title fight without any serious tune ups. i think they all knew very well that the eye couldn't take a lot of punishment. so alright the cotto fans got the winner, margarito fans were not humiliated, and all involved got big paydays. the fight of the damaged goods ended with a loss of the more damaged goods. i think cotto has got a good win now and is still in the game to score another big fight - i'd not be surprised if they make pac-cotto II.

All Garcia had to say was make a double step to right everytime Cotto backs up.

Bob Arum lol. It is odd that he was allowed to fight when you think how easily his eye swelled up.

I just didn't like the doctor's rationale for stopping it. He didn't seem like a fight doctor to me, especially when he said something along the lines of "It would be safer for him if the fight was stopped because he couldn't see out of the eye"...NO SHIAT it would be safer! It would be safer if he wasn't a prizefighter too! My problem with that is the most special moments in boxing happen when a ref/doctor/corner maybe should have stopped the fight, and the fighter defies all odds and drastically changes the course of the fight. Marg was still coming forward and he should have been given another round. With that being said he can thank Robert Garcia for being a terrible trainer and not throwing in the towel against pacquiao. I agree, Garcia ruined him. He wasn't showing any signs of turning the fight around against Pacquiao. It made no sense to let him continue.

I have no idea how he passed an eye exam, corruption in the sport for you.
