Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito is Likely Heading To Cowboys Stadium

[Strike Back]

Total punches Land/throw

Manny Pacquiao 498/824 60%

Antonio Margarito 120/632 19%

Pacquiao by late 12th round KO

Just my prediction. I think this will be Pacquiao's most consistent fight in terms of landing percentage.

Your giving Pacquiao a lot of credit as far as being an elusive fighter. He's much easier to hit than 19% and I'm sure he's fought someone as slow if not slower and less accurate than Margarito.

I found some numbers to support that -
Overall boxing history (112-147lbs): boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=25990
De la Hoya, Cotto, Hatton: compuboxonline.com/special_content/pac_man_last_3.pdf
Clottey: compuboxonline.com/stat_files/pac-clottey.pdf

Now we all know Margarito's work rate is head and shoulders above all of those fighters as far as Stamina/Workrate is concerned. The main problem Margarito will be facing is hitting Pacqiuao accurrately and repeatedly since he moves so much and comes in and out. However, I'm sure Margarito's camp is banking on catching him as he comes in or countering immediately while sacrificing and taking a punch or two. Point is he (Margarito) will eventually start landing if Pacqiuao does not take him down early. He's never fought anyone as big as Margarito and I'm sure he will come in weighing above 160lbs that night.

Plaster and steriod jokes aside. Pacquiao has never faced anyone like Margarito. Someone who will take everything you can dish out and keep moving forward. Now maybe he has what it takes to eventually take Margarito down but until then, that Mexicano is just gonna keep coming.

Good luck to both, I will be watching!!!

Pac is gonna eat Marg's alive....anyone who thinks otherwise is blinded by delusion. Top Rank nor Roach is going to sacrifice Pac to an opponent whom they think will seriously hurt Pac. Manny will punch Margs' face in for the entire fight minus a few hard combinations by Margarito. Tony is suited right for Pac with his come forward style and he will wnd up retreating into a shell by the 5th rd or so only to succumb to 850-1000 plus punches thrown. Marg's will either lose by a massive UD or a stoppage at some point. He is too slow, too wide with his punches, and will get eaten alive...don't know what ya'll are thinking but Tony isn't winning this one at all.

I'm not saying he does either, but something deep, deep down tells me this guy (Margarito) is coming in with a big chip on his shoulder and knows he's either winning or getting knocked out.

Gotta wonder too if Pacqiuao is begining to believe everything Bob Arum is telling him. At this rate, he'll have Pacqiuao fighting Andre Ward and getting knocked into the next galaxy by next year.
