I Think Margarito Took a Dive!

[Low Blow Armo]

Took a dive? If you're gonna take a dive you might wanna do it when you eat the first good shot to make it look realistic, not after 9 rounds of eating right hands and being brutalized.

What? Margarito is know as having the strongest chin. If he wouldve gone down after one punch that wouldve looked even more fixed. If you don't know anything about **** like this, please stick to Wlad vs Haye threads.

...AND it would put other high profile fights in Jeapordy with a loss. Who in their right mind being a manager of a fighter would instruct their fighter to throw away the opportunity to get bigger and better fights by BEATING Shane Mosley and Cotto to follow??

SMH...

this is pathetic...stop trying to downplay sugar shanes victory. people were also making threads like this after oscar got bludgeon by the p4p king, manny pacquiao.

I didn't see any aggression from either Pavlik or Marg. If they were swinging and missing thats one thing. But I didn't even see Marg or Pavlik even really attempt to throw. And don't tell me Shane is hard to hit at this stage of his career.

that's called effective countering. effective being hard counters in which the shots of Margo and Pavlik really didn't have the desired effect, and you're left thinking as a boxer: oh ****.. my regular **** ain't working, what am i gonna do?! or something like that.. when Pavlik got sidestepped, he was like: huh? and then got 5 shots to the head --> form of defense/effective countering, matter of perspective

margo tried to throw a shot, but couldn't even extend his arms or get into the proper firing range for uppercuts or hooks, cuz Mosley closed him up. then when Mosley let go, he beat him to the punch of the clinch, with swinging punches from HELL! lol..

Margarito did not take a dive.

Care to back this up with an explanation?

[Low Blow Armo]

If youre gonna throw a fight I think you would make it more competive than this fight was. Because being so one-sided he has damaged his selling status for the Cotto and future fights. Not like Marg aint one dimensional, Shane wouldnt need to fix a fight to beat him.

When you get paid millions under the table for diving, and have a guaranteed rematch coming up against cotto, why worry about fights happening years from now?

Prefight money being put on Mosley probably has to do with the gloves.. right? By watching the fight there is NO evidence to suggest that margarito tossed the fight. The first KD was brutal enough for him to stay down if he was gonna toss the fight.

Good K for you, we need to consider any and all realistic possibilities.

You worry because it hurt his money, like I said Mosley doesnt need a dive to beat Marg. Taking a dive convinced alot of people Marg isnt invincible and also if youre gonna take a dive you would have never heard about the plaster incident, that more than anything hurt his credibility, I guess you forgot all about that huh.

You can't make it that simple. Hopkins' movement wasn't that much which would've confused Pavlik to that extent. It wasn't Pavlik's first fight. Those times when Hopkins was standing in front and picking his shots and Pavlik just standing there, were suspect.
