Comments Thread For: Margarito Pushing Himself To The Limit in Camp

[King Ju-Ju]

Sounds like he's gettin' busy in training camp. Hope Pacquiao is doing the same. Im tired of debating about Plasterito issues. Just give me a good ****ing fight Nov. 13th.

This will not be an easy fight for PAC. Mosley Koed Margo but just because the latter was nervous, unfocused because of the wrapping incident. Mosley hugged for half the fight without the ref separating him. If Mosley hadn´t hugged, Margo would have killed him.

He'll gas out by November.

I hope to GOD so! haha!

[Strike Back]

Is he really training harder or is this just hype? Isn't Steward already on record saying this dude trains like a monster all the time?

I think it's just another day at the office for him and his team but with all the publicity, they're hyping it up.

We'll see though.

I can see why certain people view Margarito as being so dangerous for Pacquiao. He has a solid chin (well, he used to have one, not so sure anymore), decent power, loves to attack the body ruthlessly and he does not stop coming. He is also always in great shape, I've never seen the man look tired between rounds and he certainly doesn't fight with any intent on slowing down, only picking up his intensity. However, Margarito creates no angles. None. He also fights very square, and he has little foot or head movement-he is incredibly easy to hit and hit hard. This is further compounded by the fact that he is slower than Pacquiao. Much slower. He will more than likely get hit with more shots from Pacquiao than from any other fighter before.

But, Pacquiao has many of his own problems. He has incredible foot and hand speed, but lacks the ability to move his head, well. (He can move and avoid shots, though he is not very good at it) He also tends to fight very square and thus takes an incredible amount of punishment. In short, he's too easy to hit. He likes to dart in and out and throw combinations, but a stiff, hard jab would completely nullify that. And what's more is that Pacquiao can take a lot of punishment, but it is still not known whether or not he can take punishment consistently from a larger opponent. Neither Clottey nor Cotto were able to trade regularly with Pacquiao throughout the fight, as they both wilted after a few rounds and stopped throwing. Margarito won't do that. If he still has something left, it will be an interesting fight.

the key here for margarito is what you said,coming forward,pressure and non stop punching,if he fights like that he'll win,if he fights like he did in his last fight,trying to "box",he'll lose,thats not his style,he's too slow for that,i didn't like that of garcia his trainer doing to him,he should fight like he used to,which is pressure from the start of fight and throw a lot of punches,hope garcia realizes thats the right strategy,because he did say earlier he would make margarito box more and thats a mistake

I think Garcia knows that but he wanted Margs to get some rounds in after the inactivity.

I also think Garcia might work up something similar for Margs from the Bam Bam vs Peterson fight.

margarito can win this fight if he can get to pacmans body, hes a great body puncher and pacman has in the past been stopped twice with body shots once a weakness always a weakness. margarito has the tuffness to take some and land some unlike clotty who just covered up and stood thier.

[STRUGG]

too bad..........MARGS limit..................is subpar compared with elite fighters......he still have a chance though.........................if he can somehow hide the plaster

[Phil Ivey]

Margo is incredibly slow, even his career defining fight with Cotto he was a turtle. Cotto was lazy and stayed on the ropes and was prone to those vicious uppercuts, Manny will weave in and out and throw a whole heap of combos before Margo and throw that looping right hand.
