How did Margarita get so much hype?

[Shalafi]

I have seen him before. Lots of fights I have seen of his. Usually when you lose a big fight like he did you fall off. Well Margo hasn't done much since that loss. Now he is hyped up like he can destroy anyone. Margo hasn't proved anything other than Cintron is crap.

Two convincing wins coming out of a loss and capturing an IBF belt by beating Cintron for a second time is a pretty good way of being back in the top Welterweight mix don't you think? stop trolling around.

I really don't mind Margo much BUT I don't know why a lot of NSB posters are going nuts for him. I really would like to know why people think he will beat Cotto because I don't see how he got any better from the Williams fight and on. Don't want to hear the southpaw excuse either. How is Margo a different fighter from when he lost to Williams?

let's see

for one he nows starts at a pace that puts immediate pressure on his opponent. This isn't to say he comes out guns blazing but he is no longer standing there waiting for his opponent to initiate the pace like he did against Clottey and Williams

two they are working on his footwork. Properly placing himself in position to set up his punches. It's been improved since the Williams fight as he has now incorporated more side stepping to land his overhand right and left hook/

three punch arsenal. They start utitilizing the jab a bit more. While this is still a work in progress they realized a good jab can set up more for Tony than him just using it for a feeler. Case in point there were times when Tony outjabbed Cintron who was thought to be the better fighter at the jab. He is also using the straight right to the body more something that can nullify an overhand right because it lowers his torso away from the right and lands on an opponents body cleaner. The Cintron knockout was a good example of that.
