One thing I'm excited about this fight being officially on(?), it's the usual time when floyd will announce who he will fight next.
The only way i see Margarito winning this fight with Manny is if Pac decides to stand and trade from bell to bell. I do see at some point Pacquiao trading shots with Margo,but Roach will most likely have a gameplan for Manny and a gameplan that revolves around Pacquiao's foot speed.Cant blame him for that. Pacquiao is to fast with both hand and feet.If Manny stays focused on the gameplan to move in and out and doesn't get sucked into a blow for blow war,he wins this fight with ease. Margarito is going to have to put tremendous pressure on Pacquiao from start to finish and be able to take Manny's best shots to do it.Can he...we shall see.If he can,he has a chance at taking the fight.A slim chance IMO.
Bob Arum is a horrible ****. That's the main point to be taken away from this whole thing. I won't be doing anything that will line the pockets of Margarito.
Unless i get some friends together to chip in for the fight,i'll be seeing this one on the replay or something.
I think what he did was very very dirty. He got caught and whether or not i think the punishment was leniant he got what he got and served his time away. I dont think its fair that hes been able to land the P4P king for a nice pay out, i dont like Bob Arum and his inhouse double pay for him nights of boxing and i dont like the fact that either of them are fighting for a world title in a division they have not worked and earned the right to claim. But as a fight in itself i like it, I know Manny is a pure beast but once again hes stepping into the ring against somebody with many physical advantages, all it will take is for Margo to time Mannys attacks and he can get in their 1st most times, whether hes able to do that or not i dont know. But what im saying i think this could be a good fight and not the 1 sided joke some people are making it out to be and Margarito is far from a dying donkey put out for Manny to slaughter while waiting for Mayweather, Ofcourse we know Margarito can be corrupted and we know Arums a dodgy ******* so i just hope Margo isnt being paid to lose here. Otherwise it will be the dying donkey routine.
To be fair, JMM hasnt done anything recently either to say he deserves this. I mean he too had an embarrasing loss to mayweather and then he beats Diaz. Lets be real though, Margo would have crushed Diaz. Margo at this point in time is a tougher challenge than JMM.
