Santos vs. Margarito II was very close but I thought Santos was ahead by a point, 86-85 when the fight was stopped. I understand the fight could have gone either way, but there was no robbery. That's the only time I have seen Margarito on rubbery legs, but he recovered well.
Exactly. There were at least one or two swing rounds. The fight could have easily went either way.
The general consensus seems to be that Marg was coming on strong late, only to have the fight stopped prematurely to avoid Santos getting knocked out. Not true. Santos had only been visibly hurt in round 5, and won the last round of the fight.
It's funny though, because before the cards are read, you can hear Margarito saying to Daniel...
