    Errol Spence’s body attack slows down Margarito ...and he stops him late

    I'll add that both guys have the unique trait of getting stronger as the fight progresses. The difference is Margarito was a 1 dimensional volume puncher with slow feet. Spence could box behind a jab or break you down at mid range. Spence hits harder, has better defense, and has much higher ring IQ.

    First 5 rounds would be competitive and exciting as both would let their hands go and dig into the body. But then around the 6-7th round Spence makes adjustments and begins dismantling him. By the 9th-10th it's target practice and either the ref or corner stops it.

    Margarito is overrated and lost every time he stepped up except against a rookie Martinez and when he loaded his gloves to stop the undersized Cotto after being outboxed 80% of the fight.

    Spence Jr defeats Margarito via late round TKO. It will be similar to the Mosley fight, but the body attack of Spence is just top notch and I believe that it is the key factor in this bout. Margarito has a chin and eats a lot of shots in order to volume punch and pressure, but the fatigue from 5 rounds of body shots and preparation by Spence would result in a TKO stoppage in round 9 or earlier.

    This is based off the Margarito I've seen in the Cotto I, Pacquiao, and Martinez fights. So any of those points I see him being beat.

    Now a prime Paul Williams vs Spence Jr, dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn that would be a classic.

    I barely listen to music anymore. Very few industry guys want anything to do with a top tier battle rapper. Especially not head to head. I'm not saying your people aren't dope IDK. Just gimme a freestyle anyday it's just more my taste.

    Let’s say, they both have brick in their gloves

    Margarito NEVER EVER loaded or tried to load his gloves. He kicked Cotto's ass LEGITIMATELY. The rematch ,which incidentally Tony only had one good eye from round 2, & the ref knew it , was almost a carbon copy of fight 1. Cotto started to wilt AGAIN! Tony stared at him Beating his chest.
    Only then did that doc step in & stop the fight not to save Tony's eye but to save Cotto the embarrassment of quitting on his knees AGAIN!! Cotto never complained until that lying POS Richardson started the BS with his " Plaster blocks fell from Tony's wraps" BS Were Tony's wraps loaded for this fight?? Look at Cotto's face. It became a great excuse for Floyd, Oscar etc to avoid facing Tony & in doing so ruined an innocent man's career
    Tony never needed to cheat & never quit. Unlike the so called heroes of the day with their PROVEN Ped's abuses while the Commission looks the other way
