Santos destroying Margarito

[abadger]

I appreciate that, thanks for the link

I'll let you know if I ever find a copy of the fight online.

I found one in the video trading block. We're talking about Santos II right?

I'm not gonna go looking for it again, but its definitely in there if you search.

Maragarito got robbed in the 2nd Santos fight. It was even after 6, and Tony was whoopin his ass after that until they stopped it. He shoulda been ahead but Santos got a hometown gift. It was a damn good shootout fight wit 2 way action. Hardly an invincible performance from Tony, but not the disastrous, one-sided blowout all his haters make it out to be. A loss is a loss but this **** has 0 relevance to a fight against Miguel Cotto.

Cotto will beat margarito for sure!!!

Of for sure, Cotto will beat him to the body all night, not saying marg will cripple after one shot, but a steady dose of left hook body shots hurt after awhile.

santos not even a puncher and he rocked magarito imagine what cotto gna do to him lol

I don't put much relevance into this fight as I wouldn't judge the Cotto of today compared to his fights at 140. Both fighters are at their peak which is what we, as fans, should be hyped about. Yes, Cotto has a much better resume than Margo and I believe that his versatility will be the difference in dealing with Tony's straight forward attack.

I'm glad this video was posted cause I did see this fight - but didn't really pay attention to it cause didn't know too much about Margo at the time and I've always thought Santos was weak - Didn't realize that Tony switched southpaw.

That would be great to see Cotto and Margo switchin up at the same time to go at it!!!!

When did boxing fans become so lazy? I encourage everyone who hasn't seen the fight to GET IT. It's actually a damn good fight. Just some background before I get into the fight itself:

1. This was Margarito's first fight at 154. A bout he took because he couldn't get a major fight at 147.

2. He lost a technical split decision (ONE POINT!) in Santos' backyard - Puerto Rico. After nine rounds. On a cut.

3. Santos weighed in at 170 on fight night.

In this fight, Margarito's style worked against him. One, he's a slow starter yet is still aggressive early. Santos, in his prime, was a southpaw with a very difficult style. Sturdy, strong yet fought off his back foot. He just didn't have the temperament of a warrior. But Margarito, like he does to everyone, forced him to fight. And Santos - outweighing his opponent by a lot - showed some power that we just weren't used to seeing, rocking Margarito on a couple occasions.

What that video doesn't show is that despite losing the first few rounds, Margarito roared back down the stretch, stealing the momentum and coming on as his M.O. The ninth was a classic give and take round.

In the end, there's a good chance the fight would've gone down to the wire. But to knock Margarito for this is pretty dumb. There are a lot of Bernard Hopkins fights where he looked like might lose if you cut it off after a few rounds. Here's to hoping the fans on this site are a little smarter.

and santos is also bigger then both cotto and margarito. Pretty ironic you say santos isnt a puncher and got rocked so what does that make cotto when he got rocked by corley? And corley's rock of cotto is a classic. Almost thought cotto hyperextended his knee the way it buckeled. Not only that he was starting holding on to corley, corley moved and cotto put his arms around the ref lmao

Your exactly right. People really have nothing to bash on margarito about so they bring up fights from 4-10 years ago and to top it off they've never even seen the santos fight. It's obvious when they say 'santos destroying margarito'

Yeah, seriously. Can you imagine someone turning off Judah-Mayweather after round four and proclaiming how Judah was just kicking his ass? What if it went to the cards after eight? And the fight took place in...Brooklyn? And Floyd lost a technical split decision...

I mean seriously...

margarito only lost to biased puerto rican judges anyway. it was worse than hatton referee this weekend. margarito was on his way to victory and a knockout just like he will do to cotto.
