I know it does'nt make any sense now but it could have 2 years ago. Both guys have granite chins, come forward and are exciting fighters. I'd have to say Margarito takes it- UD thoughts?
Margarito hands down. He punches better and his workrate is about 500 times that of baldomir. I think it would be a good fight though.
Arum didn't want to pay Baldomir the money he was looking for ... Baldomir was just looking for a career high payday and Arum couldn't give that to him.
It's funny, originially instead of Margarito-Lujan, it was supposed to be Margarito-Baldomir in 2005.... Cintron and Margarito Headline. By Boxing Press January 4th, 2005 All Boxing News, Press Releases Kermit Cintron and Antonio Margarito, two of the world’s finest welterweights will headline the Feb 18 edition of ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights Main Events Special” from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, it was announced today by Main Events CEO Kathy Duva. Welterweight bomber Kermit Cintron will defend his WBO-interim welterweight crown against veteran Steve Martinez in the twelve-round main event, while WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito defends his title against Carlos Baldomir in the twelve-round co-feature contest. Should both Cintron and Margarito emerge victorious, the two will square off in a highly-anticipated welterweight showdown in April. If the fight came off, Tony would have most likely won a UD.
