Just what does Margarito have going for him?

Good uppercuts. emmanuel can't position himself to avoid uppercuts for ****.

 

Aside from a useful and consistent uppercut and the substantial size disparity, Antonio Margarito is a fighter who has something to prove. He could prove to be dangerous.

 

Margarito's chin is made of harder **** than the concrete used in the twin towers. Make no mistake - Mosley NEVER hurt him. No cuts, no bruises. Margarito went down on exhaustion (mental and physical).

Margarito walked through Cintron's best punches and then destroyed him. Margarito walked through Cotto's best punches and then destroyed him.

I get the feeling Margarito is gonna walk through Pac's punches as well.

VERY, VERY, VERY dangerous fight for Pac.

:yikes

 

You really think he's gonna be possibly drained at 151? Why?

The majority of his career has been fought at welterweight..

 

Pac loves to trade. That could work to Margo's benefit. Margo is a much bigger puncher.

 

Compared to Pacman:

1. Physical Strength - So wont be getting out clinched like he did vs Mosley.
2. Height and Reach - But he never uses that so that dont count.
3. Chin
4. High Workrate
5. More comfortable at 151

Other than that:

1. Good Upper Cuts
2. Good body shots
3. Decent at cutting off the ring
4. Solid 12 round pressure

 

Mental exhaustion from not knowing if he'll ever fight again.

 

Mosley had him in clinches where they were wrestling at times, I dont think Pacqiuao can do that because he aint big enough.

 

I guess so. it is true, that it has been brought up on this board - although i would say, mostly by haters of Pac trying to discredit the win before it even happens.

To me, talking about a career welterweight being drained at 151 doesn't really make sense unless someone has an agenda. Especially considering how much his opponent has moved UP in weight recently.

To answer your question though, I think the biggest thing Margo hs going for him, aside from usually a very good workrate, is the chip he is likely to have on his shoulder.

He knows this is his chance for public redemption. He'll be as focused ad ready as he has ever been for a fight. He's been backed into a corner with all the handwrap allegations lately, basically vilified, and he's gonna come out like a wounded animal I think.

 

:deal

 

marg bitched recently in an interview about how they tried to lower the catchweight to 149, but he only agreed to 150. marg knows himself best, so the dehydration is definitely bothering him.
