Why should I believe that Margarito was drained for the Mosley fight?

[warp1432]

So you need a link before the fight happened not after?

OK, I can't do that... But, it is whatever I could careless if you believe me or not...

It really doesn't matter to me.

Also Eaner on here, said the same thing happened to Mora, which I didn't know about, but in reverse... The scale said they were at the weight but in reality they were 2 pounds over...

So yea Eaner doesn't seem like a liar to me... But, like I said I could careless if you believe it or not bro... Anyways, have a good night.

I'm not saying Eaner is lying. I'm not saying the journalists who report what Margarito camps says it lying either.

The reports of him being 200 pounds seems like a lot of garbage and just excuses for a terrible night.

[warp1432]

um

I was there

the entire time of fight week

I was there

for most of the training camp

got a question?

Not expecting you to know if you did, but do you have any posts dating back to when he was 2 pounds lighter to why he was 2 pounds lighter?

I didn't read anything that said 200 pounds... But, I did read 180 though....

However, was reading before that fight and I would try to find you a link that he was getting beat up in sparring.

It didn't matter IMO cuz Shane would of won anyways... He was a beast that night.

From boxrec (http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...77&cat=boxer):

margarito's weigh-in weight for mosley: 145¾

margarito's weigh-in weight for pac: 150


pac fought a healthier version of marg.

bad scale.

true story they didn't use the official scale on Thur

the cheap scale showed him over so he went to the gym to sweat down

by the time Friday rolled it he was 145.5

kind of like what Jones did this weekend

If you're not considering that Margarito was uncomfortable draining himself down to 145 rather than 150 and more comfortable at 165 than 160.

5lbs in boxing is a lot when you have to cut down.

Either way, Marg got his ass kicked in both fights, but it should be obvious which fight he was more physically and mentally prepared for.

Coming off a hard fight against Cotto and a beating against Mosley, as well as inactivity, Margarito was not "physically" better against Pacquiao. It was a good win for Pacquaio but this Pacquaio worshipping has resorted to discrediting other fighters victories. The fact is, Mosley beat Margarito much closer to his prime than Pacquiao did. I could just as easily say Margarito was weight drained coming in at 150 against Pacquiao. After all, this is what Freddie Roach himself believed. But I'm not buying it or looking for a way to discredit the win in the way you obviously are doing with Mosley.

I remember Steve Kim writing articles about it a few months after the Cotto fight. Called him the Tijuana Torta cuz' he had gotten so fat.

He said "pretty close to 200 pounds" if ****s here wanna splice hairs, fuck it, let them.

Bottom line, Tony was not prepared mentally or physically for that fight. He wanted to skip it and go straight to the Cotto rematch the next summer.
