Wow, was anyone else at the fight on saturday? I've been to several fights and I was shocked at the atmosphere for margarito/mosley. I've never seen Staples center so packed and have never heard it so loud in there (not even Lakers games). I was rooting for Marg and its a shame he lost, all props to Mosley though. Anyways, I was thinking..... it's obvious that mexican/hispanic fans carried this fight (as far as attendance goes) and I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there that you guys foresee being a huge draw and selling out an arena in LA.
Sounded like an exciting atmosphere, better then some of the dead crowds we get to see every now and then.
imagine if it was margarito who gave shane the beating.
i'd be deaf right now.
A lot of Mexican fighters could because of the heavy Mexican population in L.A. It should be simple, but the casino's pay money to host the fights. Hopefully Staples hosts more fights in the future.
yup, i was there. what a great night. i drove from las vegas to see it. here's my footage of round 9:
like i said in another post, i was really rooting for shane, but i thought marg would win. since we were surrounded by mexicans (again, just like the williams/marg fight), we rooted for margarito, lol. it was fun. the mexicans by us were dead silent. damn.
