at their absolute best at 147 who takes it Pipino or Margarito? The power edge I give Pipino, the Chin favors Margo. Workrate Margo with a slight edge in boxing technique to Pipino. Who wins?
distractions or not, margarito couldn't take flush left hooks from mosley. sure, mosley did way most setting up with the right hand than cuevas likely did but cuevas' left hand was ridiculously powerful, far more than mosley's. cuevas comes out winging it and margarito comes out taking it...round after round until the 6th when he finally goes down.
A ko for Cuevas. Margarito was too hittable...this was ok vs most fighters with ordinary power, but not against Cuevas.
It was Mosely's speed as much as power that did in Margarito. Cuevas doesn't have the speed, but Margarito is just too hittable, and, post-Cotto, doesn't seem to have power that would make Cuevas back off or give him a break. Cuevas breaks him down and KOs him somewhere in between 6-10 rounds, in my opinion.
