Has anyone seen the Box Azteca broadcast of Cotto-Margarito II?

If Trinidad and Julio Cesar Chavez say Jotto's a coward then Jotto's a coward .
Deal with it!!!

Trinidad said that???

Seriously, I don't want to throw more fuel to the fire considering the threads that have been flooding the forum these days, but I find it very distasteful when someone from the broadcast team, which is supposed to be objective and professional, shows total bias and verges on disrespectful.

I have the utmost respect for Chavez Sr. as a boxer, but I don't think JC is fit to be a commentator on these big events. Chavez, twice, called Cotto a coward just because he was cheering for Margarito and was as frustrated as he was. Then, at the end of the fight, he proceeded to make the same conspiracy theory that has been seen to the death on these forums. He said that Cotto was protected and this was a setup. The worse thing is that the rest of the team was being reasonable and accepting that Margarito had a tough road ahead and the stoppage was justified. The team also included Marco Antonio Barrera and Travieso Arce, both knowledgeable and objective in their assessment.

This is not to bash Mexico because, if anything, these commentators did a good job and the unofficial scorecard was fair also, but I think that it looks bad when you have one commentator who is biased and talking as a fan without taking into account the consequences of said comments.

There is an unwritten rule when commentating in Box Azteca.
** Don't you ever question Chavez Sr** and you'll be alright.

Indeed, he was a great fighter and not a bad commentator if he sticks to the events taking place in the fight instead of mixing nationalistic comments and biased opinions. Once that happens it's all downhill.

The post is detailed enough. I don't need to explain anything else. You can agree or disagree, end of story.

Chavez is bias but what was worse was the whole HBO team and their proven bias against a certain fighter, in this case Margarito, the last time was marquez.

No one expected Margarito to outbox Cotto, we all expected him if anything to stop him the championship rounds. Honestly, the fight was a carbon copy of the first fight, so when people say ya cotto was winning, well no **** he was winning, we expected that.

But honestly, Cotto really wasnt dominating as badly as people were saying, and Cotto was on the move the whole fight, but if Margaritos punching didnt affect him why would he move so much? I also saw Margarito land a lot more than people give him credit for, people are so bias its ridiculous.

I would not say Cotto clearly won because the same thing happened in the first fight, except they didnt stop it in the 9th.

You basically said "yea Chavez is biased but HBO is worse because they are biased against a mexican"
