I honestly can't give Margarito credit for any of his "accomplishments" since he got caught cheating. That could be the reason why the body shots later in the fight hurt Paul. Same thing happened in the Cotto fight, but Williams is a better boxer and was able to avoid more damage.
I think that Williams got better after that fight, and Margarito peaked regardless of how close it was. I believe that Margarito's experience in the late rounds in fights is why he managed to make the last half of it competitive. If a rematch ever happened at a higher weight, Williams would white wash his ass because Margo is shit at any weight above 147. That's why he never had the talent to move up. I believe he beat Santos, but Santos isn't that good.
Dude 65% is pretty confident.
50% would mean you're not sure.
That 65% chance isn't too bad, I wouldn't say confident. I still don't know how Paul can take Pavlik's power.
How much of a chance is everyone giving Paul to beat Pavlik? I'm giving him a 65% chance, I'm not too confident really.
If he doesn't get dropped, he will win.
:lol1:........... random
Man that has become Cotto stans answer for everything. They bring his name up when I say nothing about it, and when I respond they say how i always talk about it.
I have come to the conclusion that quite a few of them are mildly autistic.
I remember watching it and saying, "When is Margarito gonna win a round", didn't happen untill the 8th. Then Paul won the 9th, Margarito the 10th & 11th and Paul the 12th. 3 rounds. Again, round 7 being the hardest round to score.
I had it 8-4, 7-5 is an ok score as well.
Round 6 was a clear Williams round IMO. Not as one sided as the 5th, but a clear round.

23 more than Tony had.
Tony learned on the job like a real man. Anyway, you gotta give me props for line about the green shorts.
Lol, true that. Those were nice shorts though. Ireland loves him for it.
I know, I know. Your being what I think, from what it seems, too defensive. I respect your opinion. Just strongly disagree with round 6.
Margarito did comparatively better in that round compared to the previous lopsided 5 so I gave it to him.He did good in there.
Yes it was close and I have no problem with you giving it to Williams.
But it was a toss-up round IMO.
What's so funny about 6?? It was a close round like the 5th if I remember correctly.
LOL dude gave Margs only 3 rounds. Williams huggers are blind. You fools want to talk as if it was against an old ass Winky.
I'll rewatch the rounds, I have the fight on my external HD.
and btw, the only thing green about Williams that night was his shorts
Dude's had 100's of amateur bouts and a ton of pro fights too.
Actualy Williams didn't even have an armature career. He only had 23 armature fights in one years time and then went pro.

A green Williams easily beat a prime Margarito. | BoxingScene Community
