Margarito won.

he caught margarito flush so many times with both power shots
and pitter patter shots. more than margarito landed on him easily.

so what if margarito had more power, he lost rds 1-7 staight up.

guys im not a margarito fan and i scored it even 6 rounds a piece,
margarito was blocking most of the shots and landed the cleaner shots,
it did look worse live as the fight was happening more cuz of the crowd and the volume of punches that williams threw, it could of easily be scored a draw, margarito retaining his WBO title, I give williams credit but i can see
how margarito says that he was robbed, it didn't look close to me the first time but the second time around it.....

Margarito didn't do anything the first 6 or 7 rounds. He ocasionally threw some punches and smiled and shook his head when Paul hit him. Paul just racked up points and round after round. Take Margarito's **** out your mouth and you could score the fight fairly.

No it was not close. Margarito sucks and was overhyped to begin with. Average fighter with some power. I was expecting something impressive and he didn't do **** until late. And he's supposed to beat Mayweather? You've got to be kidding.

Dude, it says in your sig that you had DLH beating Mayweather. No one is going to ever take you seriously again.

Williams won 9 rounds clearly in my book.

Peace Dougie,
It was a good fight. Marguerito looked slow and sluggish early but it also looked like he was picking off a lot of the shots from Williams. Williams doesn’t have any power either. He slaps a lot with an open glove. I don’t think Marguerito did enuff to win but I wanted to know how you saw the fight. I think he landed the more effective punches but Williams tapped him more and definantly outworked him. I know you have to report it non biased but personally how did you score it and see it. Peace my brotha. – Shiz

I scored it 115-113 for Margarito from ringside. I thought Margarito won rounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11. I thought Williams won rounds 1, 2, 3, 9, 12. Watching the replay on TV, I scored it even, 114-114; the difference being round six, which I scored for Williams. I also thought the ninth round, which seemed like a clear round for Williams from where I sat at the fight was very close watching it on the tube (which was frustrating because it didn’t seem like Lampley, Merchant, Steward or Lederman gave Margarito credit for much of his work).

In my opinion, the difference between scoring a clear-cut victory for Williams and a draw or close Margarito win was rounds four and five. If you scored those two rounds for Williams (as two of the three official judges did), it was hard not to see the Punisher winning the fight. From where I sat (both at the fight and watching on TV), it appeared that Williams threw a lot of punches and did a lot of moving about the ring, but he did not land a lot of significant shots in those rounds. I thought round four was very competitive, but Margarito took the round on my scorecard by landing the best punches in the final minute of the stanza, causing Williams to retreat. (Of course, following the fourth round on TV, HBO only showed an uppercut landed by Williams as the in-between round highlight, which drove me absolutely insane.) I thought Margarito had Williams in retreat and at the end of right hands for much of the fifth round. Williams did fire back as he backpedaled, but Margarito blocked most of the significant shots (none of that was called by the HBO broadcasters during the round, but Merchant did mention that he scored the round for Margarito, which prevented me from throwing my chair through my TV screen).It’s no big deal, really. I like effective punching over sheer volume. That’s what separates professional boxing from amateur boxing, in my opinion, and that’s why I scored Penalosa over DeLeon, Hopkins (first fight) and Wright over Taylor, and both Mosley (second fight) and Strum over De La Hoya.
