    Wait.. uhm, it got him the W against your man.

    It has banked him a few millions dollars already, if he's the slapper you're referring to?

    Yup, that holding was bull**** and should have been deducted points for that ****. Oh well, in the rematch you will see a different Margarito. :deal

    I think so to, but you should at least give Paul some credit.. even Margarito does.

    How can you say in the title "Most of the press row had Margarito beating Williams" and then in the first post, you show that only 4 out of 11 people at press row had Margarito beating Williams.

    biased lie or just a mistake?

    Williams won the last round to pull out the victory 115-113. If Margarito wins the 12th he retains his belt. Williams showed guts to come back and pull out the final round cuz Margarito was putting that heat on him.

    Come on now, Margarito won the majority of the second half of the fight, but he gave it away early and it was too late. Had it been an old school 15-rounder Margarito would've worn him down to win the decision, but as it was, Williams 7-5.

    You're a terrible excuse for a forum member calling professional fighters names like that. It isn't the first time either, you always have some bull**** input, none of which are worth reading the first time let alone the second. I don't usually do this kind of thing, but it'd benefit everyone here including yourself if you just left the forum and never came back.

    Odd that most of those writers are from So Cal.

    It's not like Margarito grew up and trains near that area. Nah.

    And there's only a few Mexicans living in So Cal so there can't be any bias. Nah.

    margarito won that fight 8-4 or 7-5. all of williams shots were getting blocked and parried and williams was the one taking all the punishment in the fight.
