I just rewatched the Williams Margarito fight, and I have to give it to Williams....

pretty much sums up the fight.... close but clear if your objective

yeah pauls chin is pretty nice to.. some people under rate it... i dont know if you can put it in margo's class but his chin is serious..

 

Throw the Calzaghe/Eubank tape on and rewatch without the commentating/crowd noise

 

8-4 Williams

 

LMAOOO!!!

oh . well in that case i guess the thread/post was a little tough to read...

 

What exactly is "meaningful"?
Is it meaningful when you only land a handful of power punches that have next to no effect on your opponent?
Or is it meaningful when you land scores of weaker shots that keep your opponent at bay and never let them develop an offensive rhythm?

While you ponder that keep in mind, no matter how hard Williams would have hit Martagito it was not going to have any serious effect or slow him down, the only effective thing he could do was slap the man into oblivion.

 

Judged on volume Williams took it by a round but if based on punch effectiveness Margo 115-113. If you like a bit of both then a draw would be fair by any standard.

I have to say again that Williams' chin is a lot better than expected despite his ability to drain himself to 147. Margo landed some pretty wild looping shots there that would have easily floored most welters including Cotto and Williams took them over and over again.

The funny part is Margarito got a taste of what it was like to fight himself and although he does not fear him there are certainly easier pickings at 147 so he's in no big rush to rematch his mirror image. Him and Paul are more alike then people would care to admit.

 

I had it 7-5 for Williams.

Good fight, closer IMO than many others said it was.

My friend is a Margarito fan and had good tickets at the fight and though Williams won 9-3. While I was rooting for Williams, I thought he won by a very close margin. The 12th round was a real gut check for Paul and I thought he came through with flying colors.

 

As do I. I scored it for Margarito as well. Of course, I did what you did. I went back and watched it second by second carefully. Margarito clearly won that fight. No question.

 

Seriously, San? I don't think someone winning by 1 point is "clearly"

 

If Margarito was doing anything in the first couple of rounds and the 12th he would have won. He didn't do much the first 6 rounds and came on towards the middle but he lost the last round.

 

at first I had it 9-3. I watched it again and scored it 8-4. While AM did land some hard shots, he did not hurt Williams, but he did cut him. Williams clearly won in my mind.
