Comments

• Margarito suffered from a severe sprained ankle only a week before the bout, and also had problems with his left shoulder as reported days before the fight.
• Clottey suffered an injured left hand in round four, probably while landing a left uppercut. He immediately went into retreat and told his corner at the break.
• Showtime reported this live, explaining why Clottey proceded to lose rounds five through eleven on all three official scorecards.
• Clottey later admitted his hand was not broken as initially reported.
