Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach: Margarito Will Probably Never Fight Again

Thank god that pac was merciful in 11 and 12 rounds if not he could have done some very serious damage to marg right eye.

Somebody had to protect Marg since his corner wouldn't do it. It sounds like some pretty serious damage did happen. Marg can't get surgury until his swelling goes down.

Pacquiao could've killed Margarito that night if he wanted to, but he showed mercy because boxing is a sport not a execution.

The referree and ring doctor could've stopped the fight but didnt, but Garcia is the one who should be blamed the most. What a joke of a trainer to let your best fighter almost go blind for no reason when there was no chance of a decision or 1 punch knock out

I think the fight was not stopped because of the bets . Somebody made a fortune after the fight lasted all 12 rounds .

You're right, all road lead to vacation.

Diaz said, "We'll be sitting down as a team to discuss his future once we are back home" in California. "The doctor did mention that Antonio will not have any problems continuing his career as a fighter."

hell yeah, someone needs to beat his ass. I don't see how anyone could be a fan of him or margacheato. Karma is a b1tch. How could anyone....much less a ****ing boxer......make fun of someone with parkinson's disease.

Aftermath

Syd, thanks for the link. I thought it was kind of Manny to visit Tony the next day. It doesn't look too good for the latter though. I'm not sure if it's a good idea for him to continue fighting.

Reporting from Arlington, Texas —
Manny Pacquiao was kind enough to visit Antonio Margarito in his locker room early Sunday morning.

Margarito weighed 17 pounds more than Pacquiao when they walked into the Cowboys Stadium ring Saturday night, but now he was lying motionless on a table with ice packs on his battered face and head. Stitches and a brain scan at a hospital would await.

At the hospital, doctors found that Margarito had suffered a broken right orbital bone.

Sergio Diaz, the fighter's co-manager, said Sunday that an eye muscle is lodged in that fracture and needs to be surgically repaired.

"The doctor mentioned that it is a common injury and there is nothing to be worried about," Diaz said.

...
Diaz said Margarito had double vision after a bone-breaking uppercut in the fourth round. The fighter told his manager afterward that Pacquiao is "a special fighter with a God-given talent that will make it difficult for any fighter to be victorious against him."

[check hook]

Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao's trainer, said he believed that Antonio Margarito's trainer, Robert Garcia, should have stopped the fight in the eighth or the ninth round. Pacquiao was landing countless hard shots on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. By the twelfth round, both of Margarito's eyes were nearly swollen shut, his face was badly swollen and he sustained several bad cuts.

He shouldn't. The accumulated punishment from Paul Williams, Cotto, Clottey, SSM and now Pac will leaver Margo a slobbering punch drunk mess in 10 years. Seriously think about how many clean shots this man has taken??.....thousands upon thousands.
