Cintron looked impressive, completely different fighter now under Stewart and I can see him being a big fighter in the welterweight picture. Gomez looked fantastic, one punch ahead of Gatti at all times, would love to see him and JCC Jr as the semi-main to something like Williams/Cotto or Cotto/Mosley. That Williams/Margarito fight was the best of the year so far for me, don't know what the guys were talking about half the time saying that Margarito was one step behind, he was digging at Williams all fight with body punches. It was probably the hardest fight I've had to score in a while as was evidenced by my lack of a backbone 117-115 decision to Williams. I scored it 4-3-4 to Williams with him winning the 12th. I hate scoring rounds 10-10 but I just could not seperate the two at all. I'd pay to see a rematch, but I don't see it happening right away. Margarito didn't get robbed, in the end Williams won for me and probably was close to taking 3 of those 10-10 rounds if I had to absolutely pick one guy over the other. All-around great night of fights on HBO, definitely a joy to come home to them on DVR after working second shift.
