I wanna make it clear I'm not arguing the stoppage, I'm one of those who thought the texas doctors and Garcia were a disgrace for letting Margarito go on with a destroyed eye socket so I can't complain about the NYSAC doctors stopping it. The problem is it was hypocritical because they didn't stop Pawel Wolak in the first Rodriguez fight even though his eye looked a LOT worse than Margarito's :

Fair decision but they're not consistent, that's why it feels like they did it to protect themselves after the whole drama about Margarito's eye and his licensing issue.
The crowd was so freakin biased
Cotto throws a punch, marg blocks it easily, crowd goes " OOOOOOOHHH! "
Wtf?
Unless your definition of blocking is eat every punch your oppent thorw then by all means Margo is the new mayweather lol :owned2:
Me too. I'm sticking with my original points:
- Wolak's first fight with Rodríguez was not at MSG. It was NY, but not MSG. It was not a big time bout, certainly not a big time MSG sellout event like Cotto/Margs 2. So there was not that much embarassment for the commission if the sh*t hit the fan in the Wolak/Delvin fight (first fight).
- And much more importantly, Wolak was into the fight. Margo was not. Wolak/Rodríguez I was a draw. Cotto/Margo 2 was 9-0 Cotto, or 8-1 if you were generous towards Margo. No need to risk the man's health when he had no chance to win.
But commissions are not supposed to treat fighter's safety differently based on their popularity, that's why I'm saying the NYCA seems shady and corrupt.
Doctors aren't supposed to score fights. If the man can continue, he can continue. If he can't, he can't but the scoring shouldn't even be in the doctor's mind.
wolak was the A-side so they made sure he had every chance to win. Cotto was the A-side against margarito so they made sure he won. it's pretty simple.
Then why did the NYSAC allow Margarito to fight if they were concerned about his eye? Either Margarito is 100% fit to fight or he's not, there's no in between.
Also the competitiveness of the fight is irrelevant because the doctor cited Margarito's closed eye as the ONLY reason why he stopped it.
To much money involved, and you know damn right someone got paid for them to pass him and keep the fight one. marg gave someone 5 % cut from his pay day.
@ TS
Btw did you get this agrument from dwyer video
Cause you saying the same crap he said lmao
No I didn't even know he said that too. I unsubscribed a while ago when he said Chad Dawson was the most talented fighter in the world.
The fight was a 10 round fight.
Wolak eye closed completly at the round 7
Many people complained why they didn't stop the Pacquiao fight, since Margarito was not winning. Margarito was not winning against Cotto. Why not stop the fight.
But if they let Wolak continue with an eye that looked like a cartoon, why not let Margarito continue with a closed eye that doesn't look THAT bad? I know it wasn't the same doctors but they work for the same commission they have the same guidelines. I don't like the fact that the commission tells its doctors to be more careful in specific fights, they should treat every fighter the same way across the board.
The crowd had a lot to do with it with their ohhhs and ahhhhs. I still think Cotto might of gotten a decision.

Wtf?
Cotto was slowing, marg was starting to turn it on like he always does in the later rounds, but they stopped it.
I don't understand, it should be a fighter and his coach's choice if they want to continue. It's MARG's eye, if he wants to risk it he should be able to. Marg was going to risk that eye for winning the fight but they held him back.
Boxing politics, ugh.

Protect Cotto, just in case Cotto ran into trouble again.
Simple.
wolak was in a close fight and didnt have surgery on his eye months before that fight
marg was getting beat up...he didnt win one damn round and he was coming off eye surgery
what dont you get???
It doesn't matter how close the fight is, a doctor shouldn't worry about that. If you stop the fight because of the fighter's eye then it should be the only reason so don't bring up the scoring.
The surgery didn't stop them from licensing Marg so that means he was fit to fight. A commission should treat every fighter the same way if they're fit to fight.
No because they let Wolak fight til the end with a groteque looking eye but didn't allow Marg to continue with an eye that looked much better. Be consistent, that's all I'm saying.

yes the stoppage was premature giving margs raw heart and preserverance!! no marg was not going to win anyhow, no marg wasnt going to stop cotto, yes cotto was starting really hurt marg, yes it was margs own stupidity in not trying to protect the target eye more knowing it was easily prone to damage and swelling. yes the doc and officals knew that one eyed monster was only hurting himself in continuing to take cottos bombs, and knowing that he could have his career ended by possible blindness. So Marg and fans should quit b*itchn and say thanx docs for allowing Marg to fight another day!! End thread.....
shady and corrupt???
y cause they didnt let the guy hurt himself like Texas did???

1. Margo didnt win a round. The fight was not competitive. Wolak fight was competitive.
2. Before the fight there was concerned with that eye. In was in everyone's mind. NYSAC did not want to look bad if something bad happened to Tony.
I dont understand why people can reason the obvious.
your'e joking right? the man had two surgeries on his eye for a BROKEN ORBITAL BONE...the fight was postponed for months because of this...damn boxing fans don't want to look at all the facts or just want to skew it in they're favor

Yeah it's clear they wanna protect themselves but that means they're not fair, they're shady and corrupt.
