Paul Williams vs Antonio Margarito Reviewed - How did you have it ?

I just finished watching this fight and it's my 8th or 9th time watching the fight over and I decided to score it this time...

I noticed that most of the punches was blocked by Margarito. He parried most of them with his gloves.

I have scored it the way I've scored it based on effective punches landed.
Not on shots thrown and blocked.

I must say after watching this for the 8th time, there definetly needs to be a rematch. It was a good fight

Here is what I got.

Round 1 - Williams
Round 2 - Williams
Round 3 - Williams
Round 4 - Even Round
Round 5 - Margarito
Round 6 - Even Round
Round 7 - Margarito
Round 8 - Margarito
Round 9 - Williams
Round 10 - Margarito
Round 11 - Margarito
Round 12 - Williams

What I picked up from this fight is that this was not a schooling as some would suggest, the amount of punches thrown is what won the fight.

Margarito started slow but I think it was due to Williams starting fast and not allowing Margarito to get his punches off.

I think that in a rematch Margarito would need to come in much sharper and start faster but I was very impressed with Margarito's bodyshots because they was hurting Williams but all credit to Williams, he did what he had to do to win the fight.

A rematch is a must see because in my opinion Margarito did look like he was the stronger coming down the stretch but it was the 1st 3 rounds that made this fight a Paul Williams fight.

Paul Williams called out Cotto and Mayweather in the post fight press conferences and the 1st thing that came to mind is I hope this guy can come back to 147 and rematch Margarito and also to push for fights with the other 2 guys I just mentioned

I would like to see

Paul Williams vs Floyd Mayweather
or
Paul Williams vs Miguel Cotto
or
Floyd Mayweather vs Antonio Margarito
or
Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto

Any other fights are just a bonus but these are the top dog match ups in my opinion in the division but I think that is just wishful thinking because they will probably never happen...

 

Im sure we have done this before Scar...

3 of 5 losses he had when he was between the age of 15 to 18 the other 2, one was to Santos which in the rematch ended up in headclashes like the 1st fight so as I've said to you time and time again, there is no point in rematching Santos that is old news, dead and buried.

The only man he needs to rematch is Williams which is what I said above.
You need to get over the other 4 losses because they are all irrelevant when you actually think about it from a common sense standpoint.

Would you avenge losses you had when you was 15-18 up and coming and still learning ???????????

Come on bruv, if your going to keep bringing that up then go into it further and make a proper case to why he needs to avenge the 3 losses whilst he was still a teenager learning his trade and also why he needs to rematch Santos again, it wouldn't make sense and people wouldn't want to see another headbutt fest...

Those 3 losses from 15-18 those guys must be old men by now aswell so your case fails...
Victor Lozoya
Larry Dixon
Rodney Jones

Dont make me laugh bruv, no one wants to see him fight those men now, those men are probably not even active and if they are no one would want to see those fights, only your ass would.

Get over it

I know he was 2 years old when he had his first three losses, sadly you're forgetting that one of the guys that beat him was active all the way to 2007 but it doesn't matter because he was 2 years old? :huh

Floyd Mayweather gets a close fight with Castillo then immediately gives him a rematch and he's STILL criticized by a few jealous fat drunken cabdriving Mexicans for having a close fight.

Margarito has 5 losses and it's perfectly fine, sure.
So what exactly are you saying, that Hopkins should be put in the same bracket for not avenging his 1st loss of his professional career ?

It is NEVER old news to rematch a guy that beat you, if you know boxing you will know that. For someone that claims he's there for pride and gladiator status rather than make money to not avenge losses is preposterous.
----------------------------------------------
Your missing the point, you might of wanted to see him rematch the active fighter but no one else did and to make a fight happen it has to sell tickets, if no one is interested in seeing it then its not going to happen. You of all people should know that and as I said you only made a case for one so your point has failed bro, you need to let this one go because you cant give any solid answers to why he needs to rematch guys who beat him whilst he was still learning his trade. If you want to look at it like that then there are tons of fighters who have done the same thing. Just because your a floydamaniac, dont use Castillo as some sort of comparison, the reason why he took that rematch is because he Needed to prove to the people that he could win more decisively 2nd time around because people had doubts to him winning that fight in the 1st place.

The only reason it's a headbutt-fest is because of their styles, I don't know if you're a newbie in boxing but whenever a southpaw runs into an orthodox fighter headbutts occur. Especially when you have an orthodox fighter(Margarito) charging in with his head wide open in reckless fashion most of the time.

Bro, your a joker, I am a southpaw so I should know first hand, no offence mate but im not exactly a newbie to boxing, I might be new on here but I been boxing for years.

And you said it right there, that is why there is no need for a rematch, you just answered your own question.

The only loss he needs to worry about avenging is Paul Williams and thats it, all the others are not even relevant to right now.
