Antonio Margarito; Not Quite the Underdog in "The Battle"

[BMWM3P]

I don't mind people calling me out on my articles or disagreeing with me, I also spend half my life in a gym so talking smack to some young thug is a daily occasion. What I do mind is someone who just might have a little talent to express meaningful thoughts and opinions on boxing wasting his gifts with four letter words and witless remarks.

If some of you spent half the time writing some of the stuff you say down in an adult manner you might just be the next Runyon or Sugar...

Enough, for tonight, I have a radio show at 6 am. Drop me a line if you want to put some thoughts on boxing in print....

Yeah, how about this KTerceira just got owned.

Insults are what you do best aren't they...

What I drive is a 2008 ford F350 dually, a 1974 mercedes coup, and a 82 grand prix with a 383 stroker, a john deere tractor, two quarter-horses, and in my spare time my bass tracker and four wheeler.

You are right I GOT OWNED... Later

This writer doesnt know what hes talking about. Zab Judah recently fought at JMW, hes a true WW, as is Carlos Quintana. And calling Quintana a tune up fight at the time leads me to believe he wasnt actually watching the fight. Miguel was moving up in weight against a larger undefeated opponent, who was coming off of a huge win.
Homeboy needs to do some research.

WOW! And this guy claims that Cotto's power has diminished because hes only stopped four out of five guys at welter, the one going the distance being Shane Mosley. Nobody finishes Mosley.
He then goes on to praise Margarito for being the much stronger finisher. Like when he finished Santos, Williams and Clottey?

OMG! He then goes on to talk about Margarito being considerably stronger than Shane Mosley, and how Cotto doesnt have the footwork to box!
Unbelievable. The guy is clearly a Margarito fan, but he is a HORRIBLE writer.
I would send him an Email detailing all of his shortcomings, if I thought it would do any good.

you just exposed the writer. a well written article except its full of alot of falsities and a lesser knowledged boxing fan will actually buy all that crap.

This guy who wrote this doesnt know anything. Antonio has 1 punch power? he has 62% KO ratio in his career. so your bugging on that one. Quintana a tuneup? He just came off beating down "the most feared prospect" Joel Julio. In Puerto Rico they took a poll of 30 trainers and only 1 picked miguel to beat quintana. So get your facts straight on that.

getting countered by judah and mosley is different where cotto would see margarito punches coming from a mile away. Dont try to compare judah being a southpaw and having speed and shane to Margarito's handspeed. His punches are too wide and hes open for lots of counters. he gets squared up way too much as well. Everyone go on youtube and watch the fight with antonio takes on Lujan. hes similar to cotto but nowhere near the skill level and hes was getting pushed back and countered all day long by ****** punches from lujan.

everytime Margarito has faced someone with speed, better boxing skills, ex:clottey, santos and williams. hes either lost or didnt look impressive. Antonio doesnt use his reach, hes always looking for the KO and that will be his downfall. He fights 1 way. and doesnt make adjustments.

and dont try to play "Oh ive been in the gym half my life". We dont know what you were doing there. cleaning the rings, dumping the spit buckets, watching from the side. Please dont play that card. Your wasting your time

Perhaps I will look the fool on July 26th then again perhaps not... Won't be the first I was wrong and won't be the last. But better to look the fool once in a while and get paid than live life acting as one for free .

Whatever bro. I'm not trying to be a ****, but you **** up your own credibility when you write an article like that.
You say Quintana was both a tune up fight, and not a "true WW". That hurts you.
Other things you said are more subjective, like Margarito hits harder than Judah or Mosley, or that hes physically stronger than Mosley, or Cotto doesnt have the footwork to out box Margarito, or Cotto isnt a very hard hitter or strong finisher at WW... All of those statements seem pretty foolish to me, some more than others, but your allowed your opinion.
Saying that when Cotto stepped up from JWW to WW to fight an undefeated Carlos Quintana in a tune up fight.... that destroys your credibility as a writer.

[KTerceira]

Whatever Bro is right but I got you Cotto fans money in my pocket, Margarito got his late round TKO like I said and right now my credility is intact. Have a great day......

PS Guess Cotto couldn't take a real welterweights power, or box him for 12 rounds, and looking right now at Antonios face Cotto didn't hit hard enough....

You're still a nut hugger... And all proud that you drive a John Deere tractor...my God man.

[KTerceira]

The article was about Margarito not about a comparasion between the two.. But then again I don't expect any less from forums ...

Damn right I'm proud to own a John Deere, proud to put American Crops in the grocery store so you can survive. (you sure won't on calling fights)

Of course my john deere costs $55,000 new whats your car worth.....

THanks for making the story such a success last week and all the posts....

I'll Call it first Cotto wins rematch by clear UD .....

But......Homeboy predicted a late round TKO for Margarito, which is just what happened. So he must know something.
