Damn Mexico has no standards when it comes to licensing someone to fight.... Damn

It seems some people don't have memory. Margo and Arum had to go through 5 different specialists until they finally found one physician backing him up for the fight against Cotto. And even after that there were rumors the NYSAC would never authorize the fight at MSG. So few days before the fight, Arum was preparing to move the fight to another state (NJ, CA, TX, NV). Luckily for Arum, HBO and many fans, Margo was finally licensed and the physicians at MSG kept testing Margo round after round. At that time, Margo only had few months to recover and heal after the reconstruction of the eye socket (following Manny's destruction) but now it has been more than 4 years of resting and natural strengthening (and even more time to re-evaluate and perform more procedures). In conclusion, it was more critical licensing Margo few years ago that it could appear to be nowadays.

But it was an American doctor and an American clinic that freed him and say he was good to go! So don't critizised Mexico without knowing the fkn facts morons!

Damn Mexico has no standards when it comes to licensing someone to fight. Looking at that the eye its hard to believe that he can actually see out of it. His eye socket is all caved in and it looks like he is sporting a glass eye. Regardless im convinced that he is blind in that eye. Damn

That's the same eye the New York State Athletic Commission gave a green light to.

I love it! Margarito has to be the most hated man in boxing ever! Too bad this is a toss up fight seen as how Margarito will have ring rust and whether the eye is good or not it will be a target no matter what, not to mention Paez Jr will have an age and hand speed advantage.

These chicks are hot!
Margarito looks like a ****** with that eye.

Margarito has a clean face of an angelic mexican god Si?

Antonio Viva' Margarito is probably Mexico's greatest warrior ever and a fine face for Mexico. The great Antonio the Aztec Warrior god of all mexico is the face of honesty and wholesomeness the belies all Mexicans. Margarito who battered Cotto senseless and left Cotto a bloody mass of crumpled Rican was close to death. Viva the Great Aztec god Margarito. Si'

It looks like they surgically implanted a raggedy Ann doll eye into Margarito's eye socket.

I was thinking I didn't hate Paez's chances of a upset & was thinking of throwing some $ on him, but after looking at those weigh in pics Paez looks very "son-ish", for lack of a better word, & outta shape/not in the right division & Margarito looks in surprisingly good shape for a guy who hasn't fought in 4yrs I think I'll pass on that.
