    That would be your opinion. Officially he wasn't winning on any of the judges cards.

      Lampley rarely acknowledged any of Tonys good work, and really got silent when he was handing Cotto his ass. He was nearly having ******s everytime Cotto threw. It was pretty sad, yet still wasnt worse than Winky Taylor

        It's cause HBO wants/needs a new star. Cotto was young, and unbeaten. Alot easier to sell then a 30 year old with 5 losses.

          True, they had spent a lot of time grooming Cotto to be one of the next HBO boxing stars. Makes me even happier with the result.

              Just watch Barrera v.s Morales 3 he was so on Barreras side everytime Morales would do good he would be all like "ugh! now it seems like Morales will win this round!" with an attitude and litteraly cheering for Barrera all like "he needs to hit Morales harder!!" stuff like that lol haha.

                He damn near bit of Manny's and Maxs head when they questioned Cottos Stamina..Seriously though we were all disgusted by his biased commentating...It got to the point cotto would miss or marg would block punches..Jim would damn near wet himself.. It kind of seemed like if he was watching a whole different fight at times..Either way Cotto and Marg are warriors IMO. I think a few rounds Marg would steal with his late attacks...

                    I was too busy yelling and cheering to hear the announcers but I believe it. I still think Cotto could beat Mayweather, Tony's chin was just unreal in that fight. He took punches from Cotto that would've dropped a horse. Marg's chin reminds me of Durans or Haglers. It was just crazy the shots he was taking. People say Cotto did this or that wrong but really he just couldn't hurt Tony and once they both realized that it was downhill from there...

                      I remember when Tony fought Williams Lampley was so dismissive of Tony as if MArgarito was a regional journeyman.
