GB Amateur Championships/Haye-Harrison/Pacquiao-Margarito RbR Thread!

Right, Margarito "WAS" a proven fighter.

 

basically MARG trained hard to take a serious beating.

 

The rest of your post doesn't correct the original statement. It's still nowhere near the truth, and as you've just said "conditioning obviously does mean a lot".

 

The only doubt I have is wether Margarito can still take the sort of beating we used to see him take from Cotto, Cintron even P Willy give him a fair amount of leather that night. Now after Mosley beating the **** out of him I doubt he will have the same tolerance of pain about him. The only way I can see Marg winning is a late KO/TKO. Pressuring Manny until the later half and absorbing everything on the way so he can unload on a tired Pac late. I can see Pac working the body a lot more tonight to make sure if it goes into the late rounds the gas isn't there for Margarito to put out.

I do think it will be one almighty beating Margo will have to take to get it into the late rounds though.

Still have to go with Manny TKO or wide UD with the last few rounds going to Marg

 

I may have put it that way, but I didn't obviously mean it.

Margarito's conditioning won't win this fight.

 

Few minutes to go before the card starts :happy

Not a bad card with the Rigo-Cordoba fight 2nd up.

 

Margarito weighed in 5 pounds heavier than Cotto did. That's got to have an effect. If he hasn't struggled with the weight I think he can win. I hope he doesn't though.

 

Can't wait to see Rigondeaux.

 

Who's Matt Floyd?

 

Rigo KO Win.

 

I hope he puts on a good fight :good

 

yeah?

 

Who's this new presenter?

 

**** me, the commentary team are actually at the arena!
