Comments Thread For: Referee: I Was Very Close To Stopping Pacquiao-Margarito

[iloveboxing2]

Cole and Garcia are imbeciles,,,Marg was half blind...

....and pretty much defenseless from a n incoming left straight from Pac..people incharge there left Marg to get beaten up to die..Kudos to Pac for being a true classy champion..

He was conditionally ready to keep fighting, but getting hard blows to the head while not seeing the punches coming is the worst part. The most important parts of the body is the brain, everybody knows that, and all of those punches he received after the 9th round were unnecessary...

Good thing Pac eased up on him in round 12

Margo could seriously get hurt there

The fight should've been stopped during rounds 10 & 11. No way Margarito was going to quit. And he wasn't going to get knocked out. By then he didn't even have a puncher's chance of winning. There was no point in subjecting him to more damage. He needed help in stopping the assault.

But Garcia allowed the unnecessary punishment to continue. And Cole overlooked Garcia's mistake. Very unfortunate.

Pacquiao taking his foot off the gas pedal in round 12 was a class act.

Some of you wished the Mosley fight didn't stop, well here you go.........



The ref can't stop the fight if the fighter is still punching back.

[bombshell]

margo is the main man in the ring....and garcia is the middle man...he must stop the fight before the brutal damage on 10 or 11 round....and futher more to happen if pacman stays active on 12 but pacman stays on idle...imagine do you think its more important the risk rather than accepting the lose and fight another day.....huh...

The corner should be the one to blame not the ref. I don't feel sorry for Garcia, Margaresto, or Rios, those ****** made fun of Parkinson disorder. That is really hard to forgive someone being such a **** for doing such a thing.

Margarito hurt Pacman in the sixth round, he admitted it. The thing his corner was a mess, they didnīt even try to stop the swelling with something cold. Freddie Roach is a genius. If Margarito had Roach or Beristain in his corner, maybe the outcome would have been different.
