KEVIN IOLE is terrible...

[Kobe Bryant]

He should be banned from America.

i had it 115-113 margarito. he dominated the second half of the fight and left williams bloody and beat up.

Try to be more obejective, when your favourite fighters fight. There is no ****ing way Williams lost all rounds from the 6th on.

[amaru]

there is no way margorito won that fight, williams CLEARLY won the fight, the only clear rounds that margorito won, was rounds 7 and 11, other than that williams won his rounds more convincingly and margorito started way to slow and was always playing catch up, he lost at least 5 of the first 6 rounds, even though i gave all the first 6 rounds to williams. williams then closed the show in the 12th by outboxing margorito and winning the round. it might have been closer had margortio won the last round, but he did not.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

He does some good stuff for boxing on yahoo, but overall he talks out of his ass all the time, and sometimes it hardly seems like he knows what he's talking about!

He scored the Margarito fight 116-112 for Margarito!!!!!

That is LAUGHABLE, especially considering Williams CLEARLY won 5 of the first 6 rounds.

There is no conceivable way margarito won at all, let alone by that margin.

The absolute WORST the fight could be scored is 115-113, in favor of WILLIAMS.

Maybe it has to do with his close association with Top Rank. I heard they flew his entire family in for the Cotto-Judah fight.....nuff said.

Of course you would, you masterbate to margarito everyday, 115 to 112 is the close it could have been, margarito dominated the 10 and the 11 round, and the other two rounds I gave to margarito were very close.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

I agree that score is ridiculous. I know he's been doing a lot of UFC stuff of late so maybe he's forgot how to score a boxing match.

The taste of Dana's **** has gone to his head.

I sat right behind him on press row and the man was openly cheering fro Margarito. It was strange to see writers rooting for one fighter over the other.

See.

[The Fix]

yahoo's boxing coverage is a joke.... iole's columns are just as bad... he has no business in boxing imo..

[MindBat]

Maybe it has to do with his close association with Top Rank. I heard they flew his entire family in for the Cotto-Judah fight.....nuff said.

Hey, they gotta lick the hand that feeds them, right?

It never fails. So sad.
