    I was actually really worried about that. I think the reason HBO did that was so they could blame a close decision win to Margarito on the fact that they were unexperienced judges. I really think a lot was put in for Margarito to win to setup a Cotto-margarito fight. I even felt like ref, Lou Morette or whatever his name was, was being annoying about telling Williams to stop holding. He's a tall guy and was using it strategically. As soon as he gave Williams 1 last warning, it took Williams completely outta his game and he was getting tagged a lot more. I swear, if Williams was KOed at that point, it woulda been the ref's fault!

        Exactly. I was thinking, if Williams doesn't win it after doing what he did, wtf does it take to win then?

            Dominating is too strong a word. Winning the rounds comfortably, I'll buy. Dominating is something I reserve for multiple KD's, constantly catching a guy with the same shot over and over and over (much like Gatti's fight went), and ending either in a TKO, or a near shutout.

            I didn't score it on paper, but I think I gave Margarito 4, don't recall for sure. That's not a near shutout, just a real comfortable win, which is what he deserved. What I don't get is that 2 judges would've ended the fight with a draw if A.M. had won the 12th on their cards? Now that is ****ing ******.
