chavez congratulating margo right after the fight, damn, looks like chavez takes the mexican-puerto rico rivalry serious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMbuhKP4BDQ
Hear, hear! 15 years for last night, half his life fighting as a pro. Love to see the hard work pay off.
Thanks for the link. I remember seeing a picture of Margarito/Chavez when he(AM) was a kid and now again. AM must be on cloud 9 right now. And speaking of Mexico/Puerto Rico rivalry what happened to all the loud mouth PR fans like YoungLord. :huh The only PR fans that have showed up to give their props are the ones we already knew to be real boxing fans!
I still can't get over Cotto losing and I've disliked Margarito for years, but it's impossible not to feel happy for Margarito there. Wow. Imagine how the guy must have felt. He worked very hard in his life and he's been rewarded with an unreal moment like this. Standing with his arm around his hero, after a career defining win that nobody will ever be able to take away from him.. damn, that's really something special. You have to feel happy for him.
Did you see how much props Margarito gave Chavez in the countdown? Said he was able to take a picture of Chavez when he was young and still keeps that picture today. Of course after such kind words and the incredible display of courage on Saturday Chavez must like Margarito more than his own son.
Chavez is the King of all Kings in Mexican boxing, especially for someone around Margo's age. Really happy to see Margo get to be there, happy, with his idol. That must have been a thrill.
Saw the interview in the ring right after the fight, Margarito, Chavez Sr. and Bob Arum all together interviewed. Got that on the TOP RANK broadcast on supersports, don't know if you guys saw it as well.
