    Did Any Of You Expect Margarito to Win?

    Marg too slow, too flat footed, no head movement, no defense... in common with all the 5 fighters he (Pacquiao) has fought recently. Zombies, punching bags, demolished, emotionally destroyed fighters...

    I have to admit because of the size difference I gave Margarito a chance....

      Nope. As you will see from every last one of my posts about this fight, "Manny destroys Margarito". Manny looked great, but what was anyone expecting? The only thing that shocked me was that it went the distance.

        In all honesty, anybody with good boxing knowledge knew this fight was garbage since day one. Still cant believe that B- level fighter ( and cheater ) got a big payday.

        And Im ****ing tired to see Pac vs opponent with no footwork at all. Believe me footwork is one of the most important part of boxing, and Roach is only taking opponent that don't know how to move and are robots.

            Right with you there !!
            Stop the fight, the corner was ****** and the ref was ****** to let it go that far.
            We know Margs a warrior but the fact is you don't want a fighter to be hurt in the long term, have to think about your family, wife and kids.

            Much respect to Pac who showed mercy in the final round.

            My prediction was wrong but the fight went exactly as I thought.

              He looked about as good as I thought he could look. I gave him 2 rounds (though I certainly wouldn't argue against a shutout) and Pac said he hurt him. Not surprised it went 12 and I think Marg will get some more decent fights out of this...

                Exactly!!!! pacquiao actually disappointed me.....check all of my post prior to this fight. i feel pacquiao could of got rid of him by the 6th or 7th.

                  I called it from the start. I said it would be like Pac/Clottey except his chin would be blocking most of the punches. Definitely closer than Pac/Clottey (that body shot... uh-oh), but same type of thing

                    I thought Marg wudda been in the fight a little early but not really...I knew he was slow as shyt but I thought he would throw combinations all over the place, just to lay a glove on Pac...

                    I expected an ass whipping...not as bad as it was but I did...
