I read reports that Marg had his orbital bone broken in the 4th round of his fight against Pac, and that he had to have surgery. What was the outcome of that?, will he even be allowed from a medical standpoint to box again, does he even have any plans to box again? I know there are rumblings of maybe a Cotto Marg rematch. Just wondering if any of you out there in know the know.
But do you think he will receive medical clearance to fight? If they had to repair his orbital bone, seems to me like it could break again easier then before and could be serious problem to that eye.
They are not very strict on this, I have seen fighters that you just saw before the bell rang was going to need surgery after. Recent one I can remember was marquez vasquez 4 where you clearly saw the scar tissue around the eyes of vasquez, he was badly cut in one round. Here is a quote from big bob
I’m not sure how serious a broken orbital bone can be for a fighter, but in all the reports I’ve read about him making a return to the ring, none have touched up on this as if it will be a problem. So I assume he’ll be ok and get clearance pretty easily. I think Garcia, a couple of weeks back, said Margarito would head straight back into the ring in the anticipated rematch with Cotto (in the late summer/winter). He said there would be no need for him to take a tune-up.
Yes, he still has nightmares about Pacquiao and p****s blood Deserves every ounce of pain Pacquiao gave to him. People seem to forget that he fought with loaded gloves and could of killed someone.
I'm not Cotto's biggest fan, but I too would like to see Cotto beat him. I also think it would do a lot for Cotto mentally if he hands Marg a beat down. Just that little affirmation that he had to cheat to beat me.
I think that's why they didn't stop his fight against Pac. Almost like the Texas boxing commission said let him get destroyed. you want to wrap your hands, then you get no mercy from us. I think if it were any other fighter in that ring with Pac, the ref would have stopped the fight
One thing im affraid of is if he beats margarito he will start to believe it has to do with steward and that he is what better then he once was. And bob will take advantage of that by making pac vs cotto 2. And despite cotto maybe doing better he will still receive a beating and it will take his soul again. I wish after margarito he would choose another path and leave top rank.
Cotto is a true warrior. He has great heart. I don't want to see him take another beating like he did at the hands of Pac. But I do want to see him leave TR. But then again all these promoters suck, and they are taking are sport down from the inside. shame.
I agree, its basically bob arum. I normaly dont say this people but it would be better for the sport if he was six feet under the ground. I would like to see cotto vs chavez jr in december
