Margo: "I used to apply certain things to my skin to help make it tougher "

Margarito’s eye was throughly examined by his own optometrist who gave his right eye a clean bill of health, “My doctor was with me after the fight and checked me in the dressing room. He said my eye was fine and I have an appointment with him in mid-January. It did swell up pretty fast though. I used to apply certain things to my skin to help make it tougher and I think I need to go back to that. Cotto didn’t really hit me with a solid punch for my eye to swell up that way. It was more from grazes. The one that really hit me and made it swell up from a single punch was Manny Pacquiao. I do think its sensitive from the operations but I think that I am ok. I already started to run and I can’t be with out doing some exercise.”

I wonder what "certain things" are! Just playing. Probably some old school technique.

 

MArgo also says: I never insulted him. He called me a criminal and I said, ‘criminal?’ I think everybody knows he beat his family and there is a lot of other things that I didn’t want to mention there. ONe time at a press conference, he was asked to shake my hand and he refused so from then on, he needed to worry about offering me the hand shake because I wasn’t. We never bumped into each other after the fight. While I was at the press conferences, he didn’t want to join the conference while I was there. I don’t know if you saw the referee ask us to touch gloves before we fought and he refused. We never bumped into each other after and we never had words away from the cameras.”
