Margarito-Cotto Judges Scoring

[Speecha]

[QUOTE=ElGranLuchador;3861799]u all need to stop listening to the hbo biased commentators and watch the fight on mute
its really a sight watching a bloody fighter retreating while the other keeps backing him up against the ropes
i can understand the judges scoring i had it 96-94 for margarito as well[/QUOT

I DO AGREE WITH THAT, CUS WHEN I 1ST WATCHED IT ON SETANTA THEY HAD A DIFFERENT SET OF AMERICAN COMMENTATORS BUT THEN I DOWNLOADED IT AND THEY USUAL HBO COMMENTATORS WHERE ON KELLERMAN ET AL AND THEY DID MAKE IT SEEM LIKE COTTO WAS ALL OVER MARGARITO UNTIL THE 11TH. THE COMMENTATORS CAN SWAY U ALOT IF YOU TAKE IN WHAT THEY SAY TOO MUCH.

I CAN SEE WHY THE JUDGES HAD MARGARITO UP..SUM JUDGES LIKE SEEING THE FIGHTER PRESS THE FIGHT AND AWARD THE FIGHTER WHO CONTROLS HOW THE FIGHT GOES WHICH WAS MARGARITO...

PERSONALLY I HAD IT AS A DRAW NOT INCLUDING THE 11TH

[My Name Is...]

Margarito's punches have bad intentions all over them. The only reason people dont seem to see it is because they are not text book, tight punches.

They were looking at the AMOUNT of punches and how Marg was pressing the action. Thats not how a fight is scored. He was missing a lot and getting hit cleaner.

yes in that amount he also landed plenty of good body shots and by pressing the action he controlled the tempo of the fight. just because cotto landed the pretty shots to the face it doesnt mean that his punches were more effective than margarito's shots. during the course of those rounds cotto was hurt a LOT more by margarito's body punches than margarito hurt by cotto's face shots.

Cotto-Margarito
Dave Moretti 95-95
Jerry Roth 94-96
Glen Hamada 94-96

2 of the Judges had Margarito winning 6 out of the first 10 rounds and 1 judge had it tied 5-5. This does not of course include the 2 knock downs that were in the 11th round.

Personally, I had Cotto winning 6-4 in the first 10. what do you guys think?

remember, I have nothing against margarito and I'm not a bigger fan of one or the other. I was truley happy for margarito winning this great fight.

you must be knew to boxing in las vegas....Pressure fighters always get and edge. alot of those rounds were close and when you see a fight were one guy is coming forward and the other is backing up its gives a certain impression. When you are out throwing your opponent especially when your opponent is hanging on the ropes alot it gives the judges a certain impression. There is no doubt if the fight when twelve rounds margarito wins on points i dont see how you can possible deny that.

HOW? He was moving and never stopped long enough to get good leverage and get his feet set. His punches were mostly when he was moving (his feet were moving so no real power) or squared up against the ropes. I say at least 70-80% of Cottos punches fall into this category.

he stopped many times and set his feet to throw punches. he just would land 2-3 or 4 punch combos and than move away again. most of his punches on the move where jabs.

How do you know what they were looking at? Are you Laura Mars?
