IF margarito used his jab alot more.

Hey may have died if anymore jabs other than the 300 he threw was thrown. Cotto just landed consistent right hands on top of the jabs, followed by left hooks.

maybe he's easier to time because he just flicks the jab out. In the 1st round margarito threw and landed some nice jab that kept Cotto at bay but cotto took advantage of his inaccuracy. **** i just saw the punchstats. He was definitely flicking that jab with no accuracy,

Ive said it many times that Margarito is easier to time and attack when tries to jab and box. That jab made it easier for Pac to time him and unload combinations before Margarito could even reset it. Cotto was picking those jabs off and Marg couldnt set anything up behind it either.. Easy work.

Margarito with an accurate jab would have been a game changer.

To me It seems there's a conflict going on in margarito. he is learning but then he drops it all of a sudden and goes head 1st toward his opponent looking for massive shots. with all due respect, It's very hard to teach an old dog new tricks. His jab may have inconsistent but Cotto didn't receive all those bruises on his face out of nowhere. He was throwing it, yes, but he was inconsistent with it. Well you said he wasn't throwing it consistently but he was. What do you mean by he was inconsistent with it? Do you mean he wasn't landing it consistently? Well no sh1t, Cotto was blocking and evading shots, not to mention Marg is a terrible boxer. I'm sure Marg would have loved to land more jabs but he can't just magically change his jab to become more accurate.

Look at the compubox numbers, Tony threw a ton of jabs.

Actually he used it a lot and it was something that Robert Garcia worked on a lot in his preparation for this fight. Call me crazy but I saw a lot of improvements from Marg. He moved well laterally, used the jab but the problem was and is, he is slower than he once was. He's always been slow but not it's like he is punching underwater. He can't connect on the shots that he once used to connect on. He can get there with his feet but he can't land enough. Marg is done man, sorry to all the Marg fans and I loved watching the guy but he is finished as an elite fighter on big PPV cards.

He threw a million jabs. His jab just isn't accurate so it didn't have all that much effect. He also couldn't cut the ring off so he was jabbing a lateral moving target. But he never stopped throwing it.

yea that slow ass arm punching jab may have changed the game................lol
