For awhile there, Antonio Margarito was beginning to become one of those stories in boxing that, if you saw it on the big screen, you would cry that his trials and tribulations are that of which would be unrealistic. This content is protected The classless Margarito mocks Freddie Roach's Parkinsons A young kid from Tijuana who would come to the ring in a shower curtain as a robe and a Burger King crown, who turned pro at the tender age of sixteen, and who suffered three defeats in his first nine bouts. That did not necessarily sound like the recipe for a future world champion. But Margarito persevered, overcoming several trials and tribulations throughout a long and tough career that included many battles and letdowns that most fighters would not have been able to rebound from. There was the tough technical decision loss to Daniel Santos in their 2004 rematch, which even in defeat served the public notice that Margarito was a guy to look out for. Not just anybody could make Daniel Santos, who usually can put observers to sleep, an exciting opponent. Read more at http://www.undisputedfightmag.com/2010/11/11/margarito-a-real-classless-act/
Article was by Mark Ortega. I'm now editor of Undisputed. :good One of the head honchos dumped us and the publisher still believed we could pull this off and once i assembled a team overnight - a team i could trust - i was asked to be editor. Still aiming to be a digital magazine too.
There was a time that I regarded Marg as one of my favourite boxers, I was so pleased when he beat Cotto because I believed in the ****. Because of this I despise him more than any fighter alive....even Dirrell. Whilst I wouldn't wish for anyone to get seriously hurt in the ring, I really hope that Pacquiao works the ****er over soundly enough to make him reconsider his chosen career.
May be true I suppose and I hope it is. I'd rather not believe the worst about him, his reputation is already permanently tarnished after the concrete gloves. He's lucky he's still allowed to fight. I'm gutted the incident happened because he showed massive resolve in the Cotto fight. His gloves may have been cement but to be fair his beard was too.
its the sort of jokes we all make behind closed doors but being a public figure it does make it a classless act.
**** the scumbag ****. If he gets a beating Saturday night he will deserve it. I hope Pac busts him up badly.
roach said once that the scum bag rung him up crying saying he wanted roach to train and how he was innocent. im not making excuses coz i hate the **** and he was bang out of order. that rios is a mouthy **** aswell, hope he gets banged out
I have lost all respect for Margarito and his camp! Ali had Parkinson's disease, they are not only making fun on Roach, but of all victims.
