Tonight at 9 p.m. EST on HBO pay-per-view in the United States and BoxNation in the United Kingdom, a terrific four-fight pay-per-view that promises action from start to finish will go live from Madison Square Garden, and Bad Left Hook will be here with live, round-by-round coverage, results, and immediate post-fight analysis of each bout.
In the main event, WBA junior middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto (36-2, 29 KO) faces the man who handed him his first career loss in 2008, Mexico's highly controversial and much-hated warrior Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KO). Cotto is looking to not just avenge that defeat, but to "play with the health" of Margarito and his bad right eye, as he says Margarito did three years ago, when Cotto believes his opponent had loaded hand wraps.
[ Related: Cotto vs Margarito Staff Picks ]
Also on the card, Brandon Rios faces John Murray in a fight that went from perceived blowout (if action-packed blowout) to a potential upset in the making after Rios failed to make weight yesterday. The WBA lightweight title will be on the line for Murray to win only. In an IBF welterweight eliminator, Mike Jones takes on Sebastian Lujan. And in the pay-per-view opener, junior middleweights Pawel Wolak and Delvin Rodriguez look to resume the carnage of their July 15 Fight of the Year candidate.
It should be an explosive night of boxing, so join us this evening.

What will be the best bout of the night? I think it will come down between the Puerto Rican-Mexican and Polish-Dominican duels.

Jones vs Lujan Round 1
I like Jones’ new haircut. Crowd is pretty packed already.
Jones with a little right uppercut, Lujan coming straight at him as usual. Feeling out for the first minute. Jones pawing his left hand out. Four touching jabs now from Jones. Body shots from Lujan, one back from Jones. Jab from Lujan, now Jones going to the body. Lujan holding onto the top rope. Nice right hand from Mike Jones stings Lujan and backs him up! Lujan coming forward again, Jones just sort of picking him apart at range.
Jones 10-9

"To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day..."
Jones round, he’s using his footwork well to avoid Lujan pressing forward. If he stays off the ropes, that’s not gonna do Lujan any favors.

Mike Jones is really damn good, I underestimated him coming in here. He is being smarter, siting down on his punches and pressing the pressure fighter without getting into bad spots.

Jones vs Lujan Round 2
Jones with a nice left hook to start the round. Lujan just coming right in. Big uppercut staggers Lujan! Then he just recovers and bounces around. Jones is looking very good so far. Sharp, hard shots. Lujan looks too slow for Mike. Lujan with a left hook, but Jones comes back with better shots, including nice body work, as he showed in the JSK rematch. Lujan stung again. Jones really picking him apart. Looks like Lujan is gonna get iced at some point. Jones looks terrific in there.
Jones fighting patiently, smart, and landing good shots. Lujan holding the arm. Two good rights to the body by Mike Jones. More good body shots from Jones. He’s really getting better, Lujan’s no joke. Lujan badly misses a left hook.
Jones 10-9
Jones 20-18

Jones just dictating. Lujan with nout offensivley
Jones vs Lujan Round 3
Two good rights to the body from Jones. Jones just putting on a class show in this one. Lujan doesn’t look any different than usual. Right hand from Jones, Lujan being pushed back when Jones comes forward. Not there to meet Jones. He knows he’s in with a superior fighter, and is trying to find a way in, but can’t. Crowd getting restless here, but this is just an outclassing. Perfectly active fight, as Lampley says.

Jones vs Lujan Round 4
Lujan starting to come forward even harder, and landing some shots. he’s throwing leather now. Jones pops him with two jobs. But man, Lujan is heating up. Left hook and a body shot. Lujan eats a little left, but raelly eats it and just keeps throwing. This is getting a little rougher, and that’s all Lujan can do here. He’s fighting. Another left from Lujan. Lujan really taking over this round. Not a lot of big shots, but great pressure and good work. Jones pops a couple jabs.

Jones back to really popping him with jabs again. Jones starting to rip him with counters, including a four-punch combo. Lujan still pressing really nicely, but this is a big Mike Jones bounce-back round here. Lujan’s insistence on keeping his hands low is goofy. Jones drills him with a right. Lujan says no no no, but yes yes yes.

Jones just picking him apart. This has become less intriguing as it’s gone on despite that one round where Lujan had some success. Pretty one-sided, and not brutally so or anything. Just a superior boxer and too good for Lujan. Little more to it than that. THERE’S a hard little left hook from Mike Jones. Jones landing all the best punches. He’s picking it up just a bit, but eh. Jones pops him again.

Jones totally in control. Pop pop pop. Time to step Jones up after this one. Lujan fights with no urgency. He’s an incredibly relaxed guy, winning or losing. Lujan with shots to the body, nothing on them. Jones rocks him a little again. This is easy pickings for Jones. Lujan straighted up on a body shot and uppercut. Lujan just leaves his hands down on the ropes. Lujan is getting totally dominated and doesn’t care.

Wolak vs Rodriguez Round 1
Wolak coming forward, Rodriguez digging to the body. Rodriguez jabbing as he moves back. Wolak charging right at him as always. Left hook body, left hook jaw from Delvin. Left hook upstairs, right to the body from Delvin. He looks really good so far. Left hook Wolak, and Rodriguez counters, but Wolak keeps coming right to him.
Delvin definitely starting quicker than last time. Bodes well for him. Left hook body from Delvin, Wolak with a right upstairs. Wolak starting to block Rodriguez’s left hook. Rodriguez with a right down the pipe. Both throw rights. Uppercut Rodriguez lands. I scored this one for Delvin, but Pawel is being Pawel. Good fight already.

Wolak vs Rodriguez Round 2
Wolak marking up under the eyes already I think. Wolak really coming forward more effective than usual. I gotta tell ya — JIM I GOTTA TELL YA — he IS boxing smarter. Still being himself, but boxing smarter. Delvin still landing good shots along the way. Wolak’s pressure is nice. Rodriguez with a right. Delvin not landing the hard shots he did in first round, which were keeping him in it. But Wolak is outworking. Delvin with big shots down the stretch here.
Rodriguez 10-9

Wolak hasn’t gone to the body as much as he did early in their first match, which could be a costly mistake IMO.

Rodriguez chopping at Wolak. They’re shouldering up now. This is not on the level of the first fight, but it’s another tough, tough fight with guys throwing hard leather. Not as frenetic a pace, but a grueling little battle. Wolak really starting to lay on Rodriguez, shouldering into him and weighing on him. this round is a battle of attrition. Wolak cut again on the eye. Uppercut from Wolak. He’s really starting to get on him. They throw until the bell. Damn that was a mean little round.

I’ve never seen Wolak languish on the inside like he has tonight. Genuinely can’t see this any way other than a wide Rodriguez decision.

Wolak vs Rodriguez Round 10
Lederman has Rodriguez up 87-84.
Right hand Rodriguez. Wolak getting in with him, but Rodriguez just coming and coming with better shots. uppercut and a right from Wolak. Rodriguez unloading and Wolakis hurting! Rodriguez coming and wolak is barely up! WOLAK GETTING UNLOADED UPON BUT HE STAYS ON HIS FEET! RODRIGUEZ TRYING TO CLOSE THE SHOW! WOLAK IN A BAD WAY AND HE’S THROWING PUNCHES BACK!
Slows down, but then RODRIGUEZ DRILLS HIM AGAIN! RIGHT HANDS LANDING! Rodriguez WANTS the knockout! Left hook from Rodriguez — he JUMPS with it!
Rodriguez is just drilling him this round. Rodriguez CHOPPING AWAY again! He’s trying to put this away with 10 seconds to go! Wolak will not go down!
That’s a 10-8 with no knockdown. GREAT finish from Delvin.

Nice to see Rodriguez finally get the nod in a fight that wasn't completely blatant
I thought there was little chance he would lose, and frankly the scores were a bit wider than they should have been, but still happy. At worst, I thought he clearly beat Jackiewicz as well.

Murray is the one pushing this fight right now. Rios with an uppercut, but Murray is just stronger. Rios all arm punches. To his credit, he is fighting his ass off. But he’s not going to win this thing if Murray keeps pressing, I think.
Murray taking over. Rios still landing uppercuts. Ugh, CALL THE FUCKING FIGHT CALL THE FUCKING FIGHT CALL THE FUCKING FIGHT CALL THE FUCKING FIGHT CALL THE FUCKING FIGHT

Rios looks like he’s totally spent, but he’s trying with what he’s got in him.
Murray stings him with a left uppercut right away. Rios coming on a bit. Left to the body, now with the uppercuts again. Rios eats a left hook. Uppercut from Murray. Rios to the body again. Left hook body from Murray. Rios with three uppercuts and a hook. Nasty hook from Murray. Murray’s nose is probably broken. Rios has taken over so hard in this round. MAN is he fighting.
This is a FIGHT by God. Deserves a much better crowd reaction than it’s getting.
Rios’ uppercuts have taken this round. This is a fucking brawl here. No defense, just punching punching punching. This is a goddamn good fight. MSG isn’t living up to its “boxing fan” reputation here. Sad. This is quieter than Vegas would be.

Margarito chasing, but Cotto gets away. Margo really trying to get him on the ropes, but not successful so far. Another left lands hard. Right hand Margarito is a bit to the left.

Good stoppage
Margo was competitive, and I could see an argument for continuing, but IMO if you can’t see out of an eye, the fight should end.

But it’d be a pity for boxing to lose a legit vilain in Margarito. That eye can only take so many more hits.
Ouch.
Damn. It seems that any heavy punch that lands on Margo—post eye damage, is going to make it swell over now.
Margo better retire while he can still see out of that eye—regardless of what these doctors say.

The Brief-Cotto and Margarito don’t like each other.
Cotto said he feels “nothing” when he looks at Margarito, and that when he went over there afterward, it was to “taste his victory” over Margo.
Margo said that Cotto hits like a girl, and that he was building, and that his eye was fine.
The Doctor said that Margo’s eyes were closing over the last three rounds, and was completely swelled shut.
Well, whatever is said about all the drama, Cotto did not look like a shot fighter there. He looked like a smarter stronger Cotto then he has in awhile.
