Is it just me, or has the AM Bandwagon been completely and entirely DERAILED? Is anyone man enough to come on here and sing his praises? Anybody complaining about the decision? (besides AM himself) Does anyone still favor him over Mayweather? I'd be interested to hear from the Margarito supporters.
That's because there was only a handful of Margo fans here, and they posted a LOT and under different names. The Margo shills are quite quiet these days!!
I am a margarito fan, and he will be back, he lost a close fight to a young bull who threw over 1200 punches in order to get the win...Nothing to be ashamed of at all!
Wrong as usual Joy fan. I never left. And I am a supporter of Margarito. He lost last night, deservedly. They should have matched Paul Williams punch for punch but they didn't. Instead it looked as though they reincarnated the exact gameplan used on Kermit Cintron. I blame the inexperience of his corner and of himself. The mistakes were theirs and Paul Williams lived up to the moment. But if you fools truely believe this is the end of Margarito you are making a mockery of your boxing knowledge. He will be back. His date may still be secure with Miguel Cotto and one win there puts him right back in the picture. If I were Paul Williams I'd not want an immediate rematch. Surely they must also know a rematch would not be so easy. But we'll see what happens. Margarito is still very much a live welterweight, much to the dysmay of a few haters.
Still love Margarito. He's tough as nails and nearly pulled it out. It was a close fight and he was NEVER close to being hurt. He is one tough hombre and is hard as nails. He's still right in the welterweight mix in a terrific division. Yeah, maybe he complained a bit too much. It was not a robbery but I think it could have been a draw or even a close win for the TJ tornado.
Nah I'm a Margo fan . . . and I'm still here. :yep That's not a shameful loss . . . it's close fight. As to PBF . . . I already said long time ago that PBF is above MARG'S Level.
Margo is a warrior.. if he won the 12th round he would still have his title now and everyone would STFU. He will be back.
I think he has underrated boxing skills. He blocked a lot of Williams punches that a "limited" fighter would have been hit with.
Thanks for replying guys. To clarify, I'm not bashing AM. I just wanted to know if you guys were still on board. I've got a lot of respect for true fans that actually stick with a fighter through a loss. Most of you guys have been pretty humble, I'm glad that I don't see too many "Margo was robbed" posts.
I like Margarito. He takes the difficult fights - unlike PBF - the black mark on boxing. Even though I was 50-50 beforehand, my instinct was that Margo would eventually catch up with Williams. However, Williams stayed on the outside very well for about 7 rounds, which was too much to catch up. I saw the fight, and it was very close. If you look at the cut above Punisher's eye and Margo's face, you can't say that Williams won easily. Margo's still got a great future, but Williams was too tall and too awkward. Maybe he needs to start his attack earlier.
