HBO 4/12 - Round by round

That under was very big for me.  Boo yah.

cotto will destroy any fighter out there if they fight him this year he looks too good he has gotten better....

Congrats FB you were all over that one and never questioned it for a second. Huge win for you.

I actually followed a tout tonight and play the over (ouch!), but won big on Margarito and huge on Tarver, so it's all good.

That was a disgraceful fight, glad you saw through the BS and caught a huge payday. I stopped watching it after 3, it was just sickening. Honestly, I tallied my bet as a loss after round 1. How in the world could he take that for 9 full rounds? Yikes. I was hopking the tout knew something I didn't, Gomez has been off for a year after all, maybe he learned something in that year.

But ya, that was very anti-climatic. The Cintron-Marg fight was amazing, I loved how Margarito waved Cintron to get up and keep on fighting. Margo could stand and take Cintron's bombs for hours, he was having fun in there. That's a tough motherfucker.

I eagerly await the Cotto-Margarito line.

hey, what round was the cotto fight stopped at?

shit..in 5

After Round 5

Touts.....



Thanks, that winner felt really good.  It also was the variety that is good for the blood pressure, I really wasn't ever worried during the fight.  When Cotto started really tagging the body and especially when he hurt Gomez with that one at the end of the 3rd I knew that he was done.  Cotto kind of let off the peddle in the 5th, but I knew it wasn't going to matter.  Cotto of course was in a different class and I probably would have still played the under, but that last Feliciano-Gomez fight was the main fuel behind the very large (for me) wager.  Feliciano (and we all know his merits) had him on the brink and he wasn't even going to the body frequently.  People overrated Gomez big time, I even read a few people on the general boards who were giving him a chance.  Are you kidding me?  He can't punch, he doesn't have quick feet, and he is easy to hit.  Were they going off of his last two fights?  Anyone could have beaten that form of Arturo Gatti and everyone beats Tackie these days. 

Margarito was definitely on a mission from the get go.  Around round 3 I realized it was only a matter of time before Cintron's will broke again.  That whole routine about Cintron bending down then complaining about rabbit punching was a joke, I can't believe the ref was buying into that.

Just off the hip I say Cotto -185 is right around where you see that line.  I think Cotto beats him.

No it won't come easy, but he his boxing ability really has improved and Margarito doesn't have one-punch type of power to really get Cotto in heap of trouble quick.  I think Cotto wins a close decision.  No question about it, Margarito is a bad man.  The guy exudes toughness.

By the way, cheers on the Cotto under.  Way to come back after Katsidis.
