Antonio Margarito vs Ricardo Mayorga 2003

agree

 

Mayorga UD in a war

 

Margarito uppercuts Mayorga's head into the fifth row.

 

MArgarito KO 6

 

Margarito by TKO. Mayorga would be doing his usual crap during training, and is vulnerable to the body attack. Margarito would come out with the same contant aggression he always does, work the body, and Mayorga would eventually break under it.

 

Mayorga in a very competitive UD.

Back then Mayorga still had the fire to fight, he wasnt yet a millionaire and he still fought with a purpose.

Plus Margo would be fighting a guy who is just as big as him and probably stronger, also i would give the punching power edge to Mayorga as well and he had the stamina at 147 to go 12 hard rounds.

 

mayorga hits much much harder then cotto ..if he tees off on margarito with the **** cotto was landing ... it's over ..nobody takes that many hard shots from mayorga and stands up to it

 

But Mayo is no where near the counter puncher and skilled boxer Cotto is.

I think a lot of his wild swings would hit air, glove or forearm even against Marga.


I think this would be almost a Gatti-Ward type fight, two guys with limited skills but with styles that make for a perfect brawl.


Hard to split em but I would say that Margarito grinds is out towards a late stoppage or decision. I dont think he dominates, a decent allocation of early rounds would go to Mayorga.

 

One of the fights I would have paid to see. What a damn war it would have been.

I gotta lean towards Margarito though. Mayorga was tough as nails but he never protected his body well and he didn't protect his head either. Margarito by just being a bit sharper and more active.

Mayorga ain't knocking Margarito out either. You can drop that one off at the "full of ****" box.

 

Any one saw when Margo fought 6 haeds that Margo's trianer's and Margo him self where calling out Mayorga and even had shrt's
that said MAYORGA WANTED something that and Mayo never said s... about that:deal

 

margarito by ud
