Antonio Margarito vs. Joshua Clottey Rematch For 11/1?

[Silencers]

I would give Clottey a good chance at winning, it would be a close fight IMO.

Sad, Margarito has a better chance beating Paul Williams then he does Clottey.

Dayum Clottey hit Margarito so hard that he broke his Hand and still the tornado Kept coming forward breaking a boxing recor for the most punches thrown in a 12rnd fight! Thats gotta mentally **** you up if youre clottey.

Margo by Kayo. Then he finally end this horse**** about Clottey's injured wrist when in reality they both were injured and he needed an excuse in fight he knew he wouldn't win. Not once did he have Margo in trouble with his quick flurries. I wonder Clottey mentioned Berto's name instead of Margo's? Antonio had a front row seat with his wife so he confront the winner, which he knew deep, down wouldn't be Judah.

Although Margarito did definitely win and maybe they were both injured, you do have to admit that while Clottey was punching a lot throughout the first half and then stopped punching all of a sudden, it probably does mean that he hurt his hand quite badly. Whereas, a lot of people say that Margarito was just as injured. Well, that is not really how it works. Margarito threw a record number of punches which means his hands were not hurting, or if they were it was not nearly bad enough to effect him at all.

Clottey is one tough son of biatch and it would have taken a very hurt hand to make him stop punching so suddenly and completely. It is not any excuse at all, but, just looking at the various possibilities. Clottey's hand was obviously in much worse shape than Margarito's when he hurt it as he would have been able to keep punching if it wasn't that bad.

Clottey is not the type of fighter to stop punching after five rounds if his hand wasn't really, really hurt. It would take a lot to make him stop punching and it was obviously a lot. That doesn't mean he would have won if it wasn't hurting, but, you have to look at the scenario that if he hadn't and had been able to keep punching, then would he have been able to hold Marg off long enough? I don't know, but, Marg could not have been very injured if he was able to throw record numbers of punches. If you are seriously hurt it doesn't matter how tough you are, you cannot punch with a severely bruised or broken hand. Not record numbers of punches anyway. You can throw, but it would be seldom and without much force. The complete opposite of what Marg was able to do.

Anyway, I have been wanting to see this rematch for a long time to see if Clottey really was hurt that badly, which I think was true, or if he was just overwhelmed by Marg.

Nonetheless, Margarito won the first fight so the old fight doesn't really matter. I just don't think the whole "Marg was injured as well though.." thing works. He may have been slightly injured, but, it was obviously so minor as to not effect him at all. Not even the tiniest little bit, otherwise he would not have been able to throw as many punches as he was.

[Silencers]

I guess the bicep injury wasn't as bad as they though it was.

[P4PGOAT]

I fancy Clottey in this fight

i agree. hi didn't just back away and out box margarito for 4 rounds, he stood there and beat him. then he managed to last 8 rounds, with zero offense, allowing margarito to let off a record number of punches

Yep.
I mean, it wasn't like Clottey whipped his ass the hole fight like that bum ass cat Zab "I Play with Matches" Zudah.
I mean, Margarito toughed it out.
Judah couldn't even count to three with out help....
