I don't think so, he was in the process of throwing the punch as Cotto took a knee so he couldn't stop himself.
Margarito hit Cotto when he was Down! isn't that a DQ?

finally the forum is working again! lol anyways hell naw i dont think it was intentional as Cotto went down so slowly he probably thought he was just duckin before he let go of the punch. its hard to know for sure in the heat of the moment. and besides had margarito been DQ'd in such a big fight with a punch that did no damage then for sure you could pronounce boxing dead. the fans would never come backComment

I don't think he should've been DQ'd, but a warning was in order. Bayless didn't even mention it to Margarito after he finished counting to 8 on Cotto. At least if he had warned Margarito, I'd feel better about it.
Also, a warning might've given Cotto a few more seconds to recover. I don't think it would've made a difference in the outcome, but you never know.Comment
