Margarito-Mosley: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[rizkybizness]

Men Margos defense is horrendus. Blocking shots with your face is not defense, is being ******. He have a great chin and great workrate, but saying his defense is any good is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

i wouldn't expect cotto fans to be talking so negatively about margarito, that only makes cotto look bad

Again, I disagree. Williams had a hard time catching him flush all night and Cintron never could. Slow the broadcasts down and watch in slo-mo; he has subtle defense. Sure, he still gets tagged but its not an often as it looks.

Sure he has some subtle defensive skills, nobody gets that far without them. The thing is compared to most top boxers his defense really is laughable. Paul missed a lot because he was throwing a thousand punches and Margarito had to be on the defensive, and Cintron did catch him with flush punches I dont know what fight you were watching.

Only if your looking at it from a fanboy perspective. Cotto was able to hit Margarito way too much. The vast majority of fighters would have been stopped eating that many punches from a guy with that much pop. Thats just calling it how you see it, I am not trying to make anyone look better or worse than what I see.

Oh Cotto can lose, Winky Wright was once knocked down five times in a fight no big deal he went on to school Felix Trinidad.....he blocks punches with his face.
