An interesting article I dug up on Yahoo! Sports with press row scores for the fight. Doesn't sound to me like Williams dominated anyone that night...

lol, even Margs fans know he lost. Who cares what the press thinks anyway. The fans always get it right lol.

Indeed Margarito won that fight 115-113 because he landed all the damaging punches to the head and body. Williams just threw a lot of pitty pat shots that were blocked and slapped himself to victory with volume over substance. His punches had zero effect on Tony.

Guys, remember this screen name. He can't score a fight lol.

[Boofdatruth]

Agreed. No one got dominated in the fight and it was very close.
Williams was actually looking a bit nervous twards the end.

lol, looked nervous? lol

the only thing Clottey busted was his cherry for acting like such a *****

broken hand my ass

Margs lumped up face told the whole story of how much Clottey acted like a ***** lol.

[Boofdatruth]

As you all can see Margarito nearly won on an off night. What in the world do you all think he is going to do to Williams on a good nights work?

He didn't have an off night. He lost. He clearly lost in a good fight.

I was there live and had it a draw. I'm sure HBO talked up Williams during the fight if people actually think Williams dominated that fight...

Stop lying. You having the fight a draw means you had Williams down a point because Williams was winning the fight and he won the 12th round lol. It is amazing how quickly people forget a fight after their man wins a big fight. Memory loss is a ***** lol.

lol, looked nervous? lol

If you watched the fight you can see that Margo starts to get to him and he no longer shows that confidence.. I think he squeaked it out though and got the win in a very close fight. If Margarito would have started earlier he could have prob. won it.

[Boofdatruth]

People are still crying about this?

"peeleft:"peeleft:"peeleft:

Nope, Margs fans are trying to FORGET about this fight lol. Fighters lose, it happens. Margs tried to wait Williams out(let him get tired) and Williams threw over 1000 punches I believe in this fight. Margs usually is the one who throws 1000 punches. He caught Williams a couple of times, but neither man was visibly hurt.

He didn't start earlier because of Williams punch output.
