Comments Thread For: So, Antonio Margarito Fans… Was It Worth It?

[Pin Galarga]

If boxing was about eating leather, Margarito would be a good P4P.

horrible writer........


but anyway...who didn't expect that? I think most Margarito fans feel alright.
Cotto didn't KO Margarito or make him take a Knee.... infact Margarito laughed at every shot Cotto landed

Hey Moron,

Margarito laughed at Mosley shots too but got his ass demolished in that fight. He got his ass demolished on Saturday too. You can laugh all you want but his face told the real story in the Mosley fight, Pacquiao fight, and Cotto II. Margarito is a disgrace to boxing and should never have been allowed in a ring again.

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - So, to all those insistent Antonio Margarito fans out there… how y’all feeling today?

Headaches gone away? Vision still a little blurry? Able to eat any solid food yet?

I’ll type slowly, in case you’re still a little woozy from Saturday night.

And if you get the sense that I’m feeling no sympathy, you’re right.

Bet you’re looking back between the Tylenols to the glory days when your man was blowing out the grimy underbelly of the welterweight division, prompting the breathless to sing his praises as the pedestrian WBO title defenses – Lujan, Cintron, Gomez, Clottey – piled up like cord wood.

I remember it reached a noisy crescendo the night he bludgeoned Miguel Cotto into surrender in 2008, and I can still recall sitting in my in-laws’ house in Tennessee – listening to the broadcast crew infer that somehow this was the guy striking fear into the heart of a then-sabbaticaled Floyd Mayweather Jr.

We all know I’m a Floyd guy. And I make no apologies for it.

But even the objective journalist type in me that night was thinking: “This dude? Really?”

I’ll bet it feels like about a thousand years ago now, huh?

A subsequent match with Shane Mosley looked like a win-win cakewalk six months after Cotto, designed to give gruff but lovable “Tony” a chance to ****e the resume with a big name whose last significant win in the division was by then already more than eight years past tense.

To ME, a pretty de****able peroration from a supposedly objective journalist, who had the chutzpah to comment on his journalistic objectivity. This is well up to the line of his other crap articles. Just wanted to register my comment. Won't even bother reading all the rest of the posts, although I usually read every one of them, and will avoid FitzCotto's dribblings from now on.

Yup Margs was never hurt, and the headbutt that Cotto gave Margs right in bad eye midway during the fight helped the fight to be stopped.

Cotto got lucky. imo

That is not true, official judges gave Margarito three different rounds and if you were actually scoring it with out some Cotto**** in your mouth you would see that if Margarito has three rounds at the time the Dr stopped it with three rounds left that means he was still in the fight..
The fight was stopped at the moment the fight shifted in Tonys favor in fact so much so that if you watch this fight and their first fight, this started to happen in the same round again here, as it did last time for Miguel the Dr saved miguel the embarrassment of getting stopped or quitting again late in the fight..

To me this was almost a carbon copy of fight one Miguel ran a little more, and we had the eye issue, however HBO didnt want you to see it that way so they kept talking dominant this dominant that to influence you the viewer.

However its kind of funny to hear them retract that during rounds 4,5,6&7 basically stating this is the same fight

There was a reason I wasnt excited at all for this fight. I do like Cotto. I knew he had more in the tank left than Marg. Marg has been on a losing streak since the Mosely fight (the Amenaza fight was a joke) and serious inactivity with a ****ed up eye. But lets not pretend like this match was significant to WW or JMW in any sense. This was match was for Cotto's peace of mind and for PR to finally get a win this year. Im glad PR got a win. Its good for competition, but lets not pretend this fight was against two undefeated studs or anything.

TBH, if I was PR, I would be happy with Cotto but would be gloating about Devin. Wolak was here every single day talking **** about everyone and announcing his come out party. Devin was never heard at all, almost didn't even get the rematch. He put an end to the Wolak hype and finished stronger than most thought he would. That is something to celebrate and be proud of. Cotto getting revenge from a 2008 fight off a December 2011 damn near 2012 version of Margarito? Not really a big deal anymore.
