Another of Margarito's excuses

[oc9979]

ANTONIO MARGARITO tuvo que bajar 35 libras en seis semanas para su combate ante Shane Mosley y ese sacrificio físico, según su comanejador Francisco Espinosa, le pasó factura la noche del sábado.

Espinoza aseguró que Margarito no estaba en su mejor condición frente a Mosley, pero al mismo tiempo, no le restó méritos a la victoria del estadounidense.

“Margarito no estaba ahí anoche (sábado). Todo el que conoce a Tony sabe que siempre va bien preparado y ayer (sábado) lo vimos muy débil”, indicó Espinosa al conversar telefónicamente con PRIMERA HORA desde California.

“No hay que quitarle el crédito a Mosley. Hizo una buena pelea. Mantuvo un doble jab con buenas derechas que entraron en todo momento, pero de verdad que Margarito no era el mismo. Aceptamos nuestros errores y seguimos adelante”, subrayó.

Espinosa confirmó que la esquina quería detener el encuentro luego del octavo asalto, pero el propio Margarito pidió que no lo hicieran.

“Luego del encuentro, fuimos al hospital para una evaluación rutinaria y gracias a Dios, salió bien. Esperamos recuperarnos de esta derrota y pasar la página”, sentenció.


co manager said that margarito had to lose 35 pounds in 6 weeks. i guess the 6 months laid off was bad for him. cotto had the same lay off and he was 170 when he came to camp so margarito was well over 180 pounds when he went to camp.

so much for always training hard

35lbs???...that'd make him 182!

But HTown and Rogelio aka Margarito's Right and Left Testicles claim this dude walks around at about 160!..LMFAO!!...

That's a shame this dude is constantly getting exposed ALL within ONE WEEK!..LOL!

Thats why you move up and fight where you belong

Dude what? How legit is all of that? I seriously SAW a video where one person in Margo's team said he walks fairly light, and doesn't have to train hard to make 154, hence why he isn't there? Why would they say this?

I doesn't suprise me at all that marg walks around 180. He is a big strong guy. Hell i bet cotto walks around high 160s or even low 170s.

There were rumors of him being real heavy in between the Cotto fight and this fight, I quoted a maxboxing article where it said he may have been too busy losing the weight for this fight than training to beat Mosley then I read he was up to about 175 but the 175 pounds was muscle, he supposedly has a friend in Tijuana that makes him weightlift in between fights, which if true, makes it much harder to make 147. I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy, it's just what I read.

Weird. He did look freaking ripped. But even getting THAT much muscle mass in that much time is difficult.
