Oscar De La Hoya vs Antonio Margarito @ 150 (now)

DLH by beatdown. Even at this stage, he has too much speed and agility for his former sparring partner.

 

Prime Oscar wins 120-108.

Current Oscar ?

Can't say. He didn't look so good against Forbes.

I wouldn't bet anymoney on this either way.

One thing I will say. I don't think Margo can win a decision here. If he wins, it's by stoppage.

 

I don't think its about DLH looking so bad as Forbes looked very good. My guess is Forbes would have put up a hell of a fight against anyone that night. Oscar got a bit bruised but the real damage was the cut around Forbes' eye. Oscar took on a fighter with difficult defence on purpose so that he could prepare for Mayweather. In order to get those shots in Oscar had to take some shots as well. Margarito is not as wily a boxer as Forbes and it would be Marg who would have to take a lot of shots to land his own.

 

Margo might be all wrong for the Lujans and Cintrons of the world but DLH is clearly a class above Margo, like I said earlier this would look similar to the Mayorga fight.

 

DLH would never go for this fight, but if some how he did. He would get tired in the late round defending from the pressure and high workrate of Margo and get TKO'd. I'm sure he will have his moments outboxing Margo and countering, but that solid margo chin would take it. DLH might even be ahead when Margo would just crank it up and start hurting a tired and done DLH.

 

You know, if that's as close to a fight analysis, who really gives a **** what you said 2 or 3 times. No offense BTW. :thumbsup

DLH isn't even the same fighter who fought Mayorga, which BTW, is a ridiculous example. Mayorga is a haymaker thrower. He telegraphs his punches terribly. Wouldn't know how to throw a body blow if an arrow was pointed and DLH's ribs and his hand here up in the air. Mayorga doesn't have anything close to Margarito's punch output, punch selection, or endurance. Not to mention intelligence.

 

DLH by close decision.
