Pac/Marg will be Pac/DLH II....here's why....

[fightfan_79]

Just my take.....

So the catchweight is 150lbs right? According to reports....margarito is only 1lb. above the contracted weight the week of the fight. I thought the "right way" to prepare for a fight was to cut weight a day or two before the weigh in and then re-hydrate back to optimum weight (+10/15lbs night of the fight). Last 24/7 episode they showed that he was at what weight? (157-159lbs?) Margarito looked like he was so drained.....granted they showed clips of him training hard and hitting the mitts with Garcia....but all 24/7 has showed is Pac getting blasted in sparring as well...(great marketing ploy by the way).

If Margarito doesn't re-hydrate back to at least 160-165lbs....same mistake will be made as with the DLH fight....he will have lost his ONLY advantage....his physical advantage.

Like Emmanuel Steward said during I think it was the 3rd or 4th round of the DLH fight...."It turns out DLH is only the TALLER fighter...."

Wonder how much of Margs chin and power will be left for the fight.....

i love the weight/weight drain excuses.

win and you put on so much weight and you had an advantage.

lose and you were weightdrained.

be close to weigh in weight before the fight and you're either in great shape or now weightdrained because you're not gonna put on enough weight later.

be much heavier than the weigh in weight before the fight and you're either out of shape or trying to get an advantage by being so much bigger fight night.


gives anyone with any agenda an excuse or reasoning.

I c this fight goin 2 wayz, 1: Manny just totally out boxes Margarito an possible stop him in the later rounds or 2. It being like the Cotto fight where Margarito just keeps comming an he drops Manny with a body shot.

delahoya is a boxer at heart.

marg is just a slugger.


the speed confused delahoya because he's a technical fighter. technical fighters don't like to throw punches unless there's an opening because you leave yourself open when you miss. that's why when boxers that are technical get old , they can't pull the trigger anymore.

marg just throws to throw.

the result will probably be the same but the fight will go a lot differently.

Uhhhh. Tony is used to coming in at 147 and has to make 150. Oscar was used to coming in at 160 and had to make 147.

So he's actually on track to almost make 147, but wont have to kill himself the last few days before the fight. Margarito will be 100%
