he ain't a fraud. it's just that his style is suited to breaking down opponents. too bad mosley's style is just too much for him, countering and boxing perfectly, hitting him every time en route to a tko
Sugar went for the kill in round 1, he showed who was boss, like what hopkins did to pavlik, and how Ali did to Foreman. Bro Nazeem knows hi shyt!!
Margarito looked like an old man with a cane in there. I'm starting to think Margo left everything he had left in the Cotto fight. Very dissapointed in Margo for cheating even though Moselys also a cheat.
Not to take anything away from Mosley's win, but Margo CLEARLY wasn't his usual self. Usually, he never takes a backward step and throws 80 punches a round. Whether this was different because of Mosley's speed and power or because of something else is up for debate. Probably a little of both, but more the former than the latter. He did look overtrained though.
I agree with this. He looked drained and out of it. I thought that at the weigh in as well. But no excuses. He got his ass kicked. For all we know, he looked bad because he lost his advantage with the wraps. I made a note about his appearance and general state at the beginning of the match.
It was as comprehensive a victory as Mosley, who like Margarito earned $2.4 million, could have authored. "I prepared very hard. I trained hard so I was focused and I was always alert during the fight," Mosley said. "He was very powerful but he couldn't resist my rhythm." Margarito trainer Javier Capetillo knew something was wrong with his man from the start. "Something happened in the first round," he said. "We were too slow. I didn't think he was reacting properly. It was frustrating to watch because he kept getting caught with overhand rights." Perhaps Margarito, 30, was out of sorts because he was forced to have his hands rewrapped before the fight after an illegal substance was discovered. Whatever it was, he took his beating like a man. Dejected afterward, Margarito said, "I feel OK. I was just getting caught over and over." And over and over and over. Dan Rafael is the boxing writer for ESPN.com.
I'm a huge Margo fan, but he got rolled. And if he cheated with the wraps, he has to be sanctioned. No BS.
