Is it just me, or is Margarito looking uncharacteristically...

    ...soft in the midsection?

    This is from 2006, the week of Margarito-Gomez...

    There is a stark difference between the two pictures, however, it might just be an unflattering picture. The weigh in will be most telling.

    When a fighter throws a punch and twists his midsection, he cannot flex the abs and still get speed. It is just a difference of motion. I am sure Margarito is in great condition.

    Could be, but I've never seen him look as heavy leading up to a fight as he did for this one. He's normally shredded. This time, he was a bit on the pudgy side.


    Agreed.

    It's because they have been working on being a little more fluid. They know Cotto is smaller and is going to be a little harder to hit so they don't want him to be too tight. He is still in terrific shape though, don't let that fool you.

    He said that he is prepared for Cotto's body attack. I doubt eating Mexican food and not doing sit ups will help him.

    I've got no issues with the man's abs I think he will be in terrific shape come fight night.

    I do have a problem with that horrendous mexi-mullet haircut he's got going.
