Was a great fight on paper, and an actual great fight although I wished it went a few more rounds.
Kermit came out full of confidence and he was having some success at first keeping Margarito at the end of his jab controlling the pace, and enter round 2 same thing for the first half however somewhere in the middle of the round he stopped throwing his jab and was allowing margarito to get off first. By the end of the round the pace turned and become a more of a inside fight.
In round 3 I believe Margarito took away all of Kermit confidence by not being phased by any power shot Kermit was landing on him, These were the same power shots he landed on every pior oppenent and pratically knocked them all out. The 3rd round Is where I see the give in kermit and where he mentally already was waving the white flag.
All the other rounds was just kermit going through the motion, lil by lil withering away mentally more then physically. Margarito broke kermit spirit that night and he never recovered. Now kermit wondering around life like a beaten abused dog scared of everything, jumping out of rings to protect himself lol.
The plaster in Margarito's gloves had hardened by the second round. That is what caused Cintron to stop throwing the jab.
Funny how Margarito had this amazing power pre-plaster... after he got caught, his power left him... Mosley KO his a$$ easy... could not KO a Bum in Robert Garcia, Pacquiao beats him to a pulp... Cotto puts the nail in the coffin. End of story, Margarito could have been great with that granite chin... what a waste.
He never had "amazing power". Stop being a simple minded sheep.
Ask Pacquaio how good his power was. He was a wreck after their fight despite dominating it.
