Anyone else think Margarito looked weight drained?

[-EX-]

Nahhhhhh, he jus got his ass kicked. I aint see em come forward wit any less intensity. He still took bombs to that chin and kept coming. I aint see no problems...other than the fact that Mosley couldn't miss him.

[Hagler★]

I'm not making excuses for him or anything, but he really just didn't look right. He weighed in at less than 146 and gained 15 pounds overnight....and looked sluggish. I know Mosley did a great job with space and clinching, but even when Tony had space and was throwing he looked sluggish. We always hear that 147 is really easy for him to make, but I have a hard time believing that.

I think it's possible we've seen that last of Tony at 147, something looked really off and I think he needs to move up.

Nope he tends to come in at that weight or abouts on fight night anyway

No he wasn't weight drained. I thought Margarito was in the best shape I have ever seen him in.

145 for a guy that has trouble making weight is ******. But i think they came in that low to try and make the Pac fight a reality even though that never would of happened had Marg have won. Im still downloading the fight, i want to see if he looked like himself or not.

No weight drained, just old.

You didn't see it at all?

[Spacey1991]

Nope, Marg lost fair and square... no excuses.

Tony surely didn't look like someone who holds the welterweight division record of most punches thrown in a bout. But, I am not too sure that it was because of weight issues.

In one of the middle rounds, he started pushing Mosley back but then Shane stopped him in his tracks with quick and solid counters, the most telling of which served as a punctuation mark as the bell sounded.

Tony's problem may even have been mental-- that illegal wrapping issue may have messed his head. Or, he may have been unable to get past the initial surprise from Mosley's aggresiveness from the gitgo.

Or, Shane may just have been simply too sweet for Tony that night. It was the best I have seen him and it served as proof positive that he really is "Sugar".

Or, it may have been a confluence of all these factors....

Margarito has always been sluggish. That is his trade mark, slow ponderous punches.
