    Commentators almost made this fight boring, but otherwise a very good fight. Margarito's stamina is incomprehensible here to me.

    margo had legendary stamina...................Martinez suffrered with less experience and it showed he gassed..................its very important for fighters to get as much experience when they are young............Martinez also started boxing very late...................margo started when he was young and trained like a animal.........

    Martinez was fighting like an idiot hardly using the jab at all and just firing left hands. No wonder that he gassed. I think he was lured into a fight by Margarito being so open and easy to hit, but that's a trap when fighting Margarito. A better strategy would have been to use the jab and move. Those lunging straight lefts must have took a lot of energy out of him.
