Margaritos chin?

T9717y ago

We all know that his chin was iron, but Mosley cracked it last night. Now, the point of the thread is. Do you think Margs chin will stay cracked? Or will it still be iron? I think it may be a bit like Mayorga. Pre-Tito he had an iron chin, never down. But after the beating, and the Knockout loss, his chin was never the same. I think from now on, Margs chin will be good, but no longer great. Also, he probably won't carry the same mental willpower, before he had no doubts about his ability to take puishment, but after this, some doubts may arise.

I have to disagree with that. Check Cottos fight with Pinto, and you will see a full force Cotto punch compare to the poshoting he was doing against margarito!!!!!! cotto hit him flush plenty of times.there's one gif of him totally blasting him, and marga head looked like a ****ing yoyo.but he got back on the march pursuing cotto.

He may still have a good chin, but mentally he won't be as willin to stick it out there all the time. His style revolves around not havin to respect his opponents, and now he's gonna have to.

he couldnt realy trade blows with margaritobecause he is not as fast as mosley and he does not have as good of a chin that mosley enjoys... cotto gets rock all the time..and also he doesnt know how to clinch..

How is it going to stay iron, Mosley last night showed it can be broken because Mosley wanted to beat the ever living pissn out of that cheat cunt. I bet you mosley was so mad when they found plaster in that cheaters wrapping. He wanted to beat the piss out of a guy who wanted to hit him with plaster

I've yet to see the fight but i'm amazed Mosley knocked hit out but not Cotto, ****ing unbeliveable.

if margarito was using the lime plaster for cotto, then cotto is the one with the granite chin I was thinking the same thing this morning. If it is somehow confirmed that Margarito used plaster for the fight with Cotto, Cotto withstood unbelievable punishment. 11 rounds of plaster+body punches+head punches= da-yum!

Marg has plaster on his chin.

The difference was Cotto wasn't getting hit with a lot of clean shots, Margarito was getting hit by everything Mosley threw. ...understood...the point is everyone downs Cotto for his shitty chin - he took some serious shots from Mosely and withstood and fought...based on Mosely's performance last night, Cotto deserves some credit for hanging in there with the future Hall of Famer. Enough of that, this is Mosely's moment!

his chins same but it what i thought would happen the ones u dont see are the ones that hurt the most shanes speed stunned him then he was battered he was one of those fighters who saw punches comin and didnt bother to protect and he was pretty much doin same tonite the ones that got him at the end and started stunnin him were the quick shots he wasnt expectin when shane was loadin up on combos and punchin goin back then dashin forward

great point - also, Mosely was hitting Cotto with right hands all night and Cotto stood up and fought back The difference was Cotto wasn't getting hit with a lot of clean shots, Margarito was getting hit by everything Mosley threw.

I just don't understand how someone who is rated so highly have little skill. You would think Margarito would be the next Nigel Benn. He doesn't need to be most skilled fighter, but his negatives clearly outweighs his positives.

I think he landed some good shots, but the way margarito takes shots, even Mosleys potshot jab(the jab he throws to find range), was making Margos head snap back. His head wasn't just snapping back against Cotto, it was snapping around like a pinata. Yea, although with the wraps controversy...we may be waiting a while before we see Marg again :( Yup, he'd deserve a ban if he gets one.

Man, the face in the end after the fight was sad even though I like the guy I don't think he has it anymore. Or as granite as it was.

I think those shots affected Margarito in the long run. His punch resistance seemed a lot worse than it was against Cotto/Cintron. Mosley hits harder than Cotto, while Cintron didn't hit Marg enough Mosley combined Power, Speed and accuracy of which Marg had never seen before

True, that speed was a big, big factor in the fight. As I said, we'll have to wait and see. Yea, although with the wraps controversy...we may be waiting a while before we see Marg again :(

I still say he has a very good chin, most fighters would have been out of there by the 6th if they kept taking all those jabs and right hands from Mosley.

Those are good points. I think more than anything, it was Shanes speed. He couldn't see the punches coming which probably made them hurt more. Even so, I just think that Margs armour is *****ed. A lot of people always said, the punches would catch up to him eventually, and now is that time IMO. True, that speed was a big, big factor in the fight. As I said, we'll have to wait and see.
