Mosley not letting Margarito gain any momentum and using effective holding on the inside was brilliant. In the Cintron rematch though, Margarito was able to land power shots on Cintron despite being shoulder to shoulder and tied up inside.
Margarito was softened with bodyshots early on and was discouraged and weakened by the 4th round and had virtually no power as a result.
Nazim: You're landing good shots up top but you need to remember
how they started; set them up with the bodyshots.
Pacquiao coincidentally hurt Margarito to the body early on as well which was interesting. I think i remember Cotto saying he couldnt get to Margaritos body at all though which is something he needs to do now obviously instead of headhunting too much.

Margaritto was finished after that fight his one good attribute was his "aura of invincibility" that he could walk though any punch to keep coming at you. When Mosley cracked that jaw it was the end for the myth of Margaritto. Fighters like him don't last long at the top because they soak up too much damage in a short amount of time. I don't care how tough you are if your main defensive technique is no defense you are going to get KTFO. Same thing is in store for baby Rito Rios once he faces some tougher competition.
Agreed, good post.
not really he beat a margs that was mentally not their.
shane was going thru a divorce at the time so he probably wasn't in his best state of mind either but the way he beat margarito makes it look like shane was at his best when it probably had more to do with the styles and the fact that margarito has always been an easy target

The key to beating Margarito is walking him back.
This was one of my favourite fights ever.
It was just stunning; how Shane was a big underdog and Margarito was found to have illegal wraps and all.
The beatdown was awesome.
You only expect or fear that outcome when you know you're guilty.
to be fair, margarito didnt even look like he was in that fight from the beginning,he's not stupid, he knew he was fuked right after the plaster was found in his wraps (see above post) and **** was about to get real after that fight....
Enjoy the fight! :boxing:
The divorce didnt do **** to fuel his rage, them damn steroids he been taking did
Or could it be w/o the loaded gloves ur boy Marg is just a f*ckin bum...
You mean to tell me that an innocent man wouldnt fear being put to death for a crime he didnt commit?
You guys are a bunch of ****ing retards from top to bottom, How many of you mother ****ers been locked up? I know when I got busted slanging dope I didnt fear the outcome, Why is that? Cus I knew I was guilty I knew what the outcome was.
Not the righteous. Nurz made an excellent point.
Ive heard rumors that Margarito as getting his ass kicked in sparring by rookies leading up to the Mosley fight. Just throwing that out there.
And killing him to the body is THE reason Mosley was able to take him out of there. Nothing softens up a jaw like killing the body.
