I think that gets over played. Freddie told him to go out in the last 2 rounds and just be careful and not to get stuck on the ropes like he did in the 6th round. They realized the knockout wasn't coming, so they just cruised for the win
I agree. Why would you take mercy on a dirty cheat like Margarito anyway? He doesn't deserve compassion.
Pac was still trying, he just didn't have the thirst for blood anymore b/c he was beating Margo so savagely.
He didn't want to push for the K.O and Margarito's eye was quite bad. So maybe he thought it's not worth inflicting any more damage on that eye
How did Pacquiao break Margarito's orbital bone? Why was there suspicion amongst the Margarito camp as to Pacquiao's hand-wrapping prior to the fight? Why was Pacquiao unable to move his hands after the fight? Just ask yourself. Of course, I'm not implying anything here.
But Margarito didn't deserve his mercy. PAC should have went all out and either KO'd him or blinded him for life.
He doesn't have the power to put away Margarito.Antonio took a pounding but wont go down. Plus his eyes was all ****ed up!
because he didnt have the power to KO him and he knew after the 10th round the referee wasnt going to stop it
i dont have the source but i saw an article saying that Roach played the rwrapping thing off by accusing Margarito of using Hydroxycut to get the attention away from the wrapping
Lol, GTFOH with this "Pacquiao Mercy" ****. This is boxing. The objective is to effectively incapacitate your opponent with your fists. The only two reasons a fighter takes his foot of the gas are: if he thinks the ref is about to stop the fight, or if he doesn't want to take unecessary punishment himself. Everything else is bull****.
