Did Margarito pressure Williams like he did Cotto?

    It's not the same fight. It was easier for Margo to put that kind of pressure on Cotto given his size and the style of fight he was fighting Margo

    Naw...Paul won legitimately the first time. I actually predicted Paul upsetting Marg and got a bunch of **** thrown at me for that one. And I thnk it will play out in much the same fashion as the first fight. i just think it will be closer and more brutal. Marg WILL start earlier and Paul will try to adapt. I thnk paul has the stamina and composure to stay with his game plan....but If Marg is able to get at the body early....I can see Pual fading as he began to in the later rounds in the first fight.

    But I do know exactly why you say Margo starting early won't be as easy.....Paul will be a ****ing problem from the begining to the end.

    It wasn't that Marg didn't try to pressue Williams as he does everyone else....Williams just had the right tools and gameplan to negate Margs pressure....EARLY on that is. Towards the later portion of the fight it was clear Marg began to take control. Had Marg been able to adapt and adjust to Pauls busy boxer/puncher style he could have pulled out the "W". But there is no use to say "What if"....it didn't happen....we can only speculate what will take place in the rematch which I really want to see if Marg can't get DLH.

    Round 13 is gonna pick up where round 12 left off. Margarito will find his range much quicker in the rematch.

    You better hope for the sake of Margarito that it doesn't start off where Round 12 left off, because if it does, Margarito will get the **** beat out of him. Look at Round 12 and get back at me.

    I've made my points to why I think Paul would win the rematch similar to how he took the first fight. But I just feel Marg will come stronger which Paul will have to do the same. I see a closer more brutal fight the 2nd go round and I see a semi contraversail decision for Paul.....i think it will be THAT CLOSE!

    Paul won the fight by utilizing angles and a lot of movement. His jab was steady and effecitive. he controlled the early and middle rounds but keeping Marg off balanced and countering off of angles. he was able to tie his man up in Marg and didn't let Tony get his rythm going.

    Tony eventually found his timing and rything by round 7 or so and began to find Paul with more consistancy and his offense started to take over the fight....however...him finding his rythm was a bit too late. He HAD to get the KO and of course Paul has proven to be very soild in the chin dpt as well.

    The Rematch is gonna be a WAR!

    Round 12 was a good one for both!!! Marg started off strong but Paul definitley finished the fight on a high note. Either way gents......this fight is GONNA Happen. When is the question and who will come out on top is the BIG ONE. By no means is this going to be easy for either man, but I feel Paul is the future and I think he'll edge marg out in this one too.

    I better hope not a damn thing. You just want Margarito now right off of a tough fight hoping he'll be easy pickens. But he won't be. If he takes this fight next he's gonna be sharp as a razor and he's gonna **** that jolly green giant up. You watch. Round 12 was won by Williams but the war is far from over.
