For a moment there in last nights fight between Antonio Magarito and Miguel Cotto, I had a moment of dejavu. Cotto dropped to his knees just as Margarito was closing in on him, Margarito let the punches go and the last one hit him while he was down. It's hard to stop the punches once you let them go, and it's easy to lose perspective of where your opponent is, which is why we have a referee. Lucky for us, Kenny Bayless never gave it any consideration. This is how the fight between Humberto Soto and Francisco Lorenzo should have ended, without controversy. I hope Joe Cortez was taking notes. Two completely different fights I know, but when I heard one of the announcers say out loud "Margarito hit him while he was down" I knew what they were referring to. Like them I thought "Oh no, not again". Kudos to referee Kenny Bayless for doing a good job last night.
