Bye Bye Margarito

[passdabutter]

Get over it. Marg lost clearly. Don't matter if he hit harder. He didn't hit hard enough to drop Paul or often enough to win the rounds.

first of all the man shoulda gotten a point taken away for holding
secondly paul got rocked

Williams won that fight convincingly. Why must haters tarnish this win, any lesser fighter would've been knocked out cold by Williams. It's a credit to how good of a fighter Margarito is, that the man kept pushing forward and almost swept the second half, to pull out a close victory, or draw to keep the title.

Williams dominated early, and won enough second half rounds to earn the right of being known as champion.

Margarito won the fight....total robbery...williams was just throwing slapping shots all day and was holding every round...the referee should be fired..he kept giving williams warnings for holding ..I counted 11 warning..he should have taken 1 point away at least....but it's hard to beat a robbery.....williams should be called the black hatton...hit and hold ..hit and hold....

I agree that Willams punches didn't really hurt Margarito, but his output was just so much more that you couldn't give the rounds to Margarito. It wasn't a robbery and you would not be able to hit and hold and throw that many punches.

no decent fighter
will ever get knocked out cold by williams

you cant slap a world class fighter down
it dont work like that

i called this i knew if it went to decision it would most likely be williams by decision but i knew williams cant hurt margarito

not even a lil bit

when a guy gets rocked like that in the later rounds he shouldnt win a title for it

Your boy Khan got rocked today and still won. I know it was by stoppage, but Im pretty sure there's been fights where guys have gotten rocked and still won decisions. Decisions aren't totally based on who got rocked and whod didnt.

It's nice to be a fan,but...be real,Williams won the fight by a wide margin.

Hahahaha. I figured you'd have something to say. PBF would have beat Marg like a stepson. Athletic boxers own Margarito.

If he slaps like a little girl, then why does people bother to block and be careful moving in?

That was a poor result, I had Margarito up on the cards. If being dominated is having someone slap your gloves for twelve rounds then sign me up as a professional opponent. Margarito had Williams hurt through most of the fight, Williams never once made a dent in Margarito. Hatton gets a lot of stick for his hit and hold style, but at least he hits! Slap-slap-slap then as soon as Tony got past his jab it was a lover's moment.

Exactly! His athletic ability was just too much.
