Both guys were on the shelf for awhile. Did you lose some money on the fight or somethin? :yep

[compukiller]

Margo was thoroughly outboxed and his overrated power could not bail him out.

Deal with it. :yep

Yeah Margarito being on the shelf killed him....

I mean his last fight was December 12th, 2006 and poor Paul Williams last fight was November 11th, 2006....That must be it!

Do you fucking think before you type? Or does Margo have to fight every 3 months to be "fresh"....He had a common layoff and had been in the ring more recently than Williams.....Paul was also on the longest inactivity period of his career, Margarito had longer layoffs against Clottey and Gomez, he previous two fights.....Keep digging though

I think Williams has a little power and can stop lower levels fighters. But he's not going to be KOing any of the elite guys at 147. I don't think he will be able to keep the most relentless of attackers (ie a guy like Cotto) off him that long. Margo was hurting him to the body, and I think that's where a fighter can really wreak havoc on Williams.

Yep, hundreds of Williams' punches were blocked............still hundreds landed. The bottom line is, Williams landed more punches then Margo and clearly won more rounds. Margo was never as good as many portrayed him to be. He is a solid contender though.....

Lets see Margo vs Clottey 2 and Cotto/williams or Cotto/shane

Cintron is a fuckin *****.. give me a break. I hate people that are making him out to be this destroyer. The dude has NO heart whatsoever.. Someone please post his fight with Margarito and how he gets hit with a few shots and falls to the floor and looks over to his corner to throw in the towel FOR HIM.. He was too ***** to quit himself he wanted his corner to do it

:rofl :nut :patsch

[djrock247]

One punch that Margarito defended very well in the latter part of the fight was the left uppercut. I thought early on that Williams was going to break him down with that left uppercut. To Margo's credit, he skillfully blocked the left uppercut from the 4th round on.

i like williams

What the fuck are you talking about? Williams DID win...:huh:huh

[Oscar de la Roa]

margarito clearly lost this fight, altough he really punished williams cut his eyebrow, landed tough punches to the body, the punisher won but he became punished, great fight by the way

Tho I feel your right about Cintron having a better chance than most fighters vs Williams. I definately gotta take ya to task on some other stuff.

Towards the end of the fight, the ref again warned Williams for holding...followed by the announcers totally disagreeing with the ref, saying that Margarito was the one initiating most of the clinches. And sure enough, if you watch the fight again, while Williams has his arm draped over Margo's to one side, you can CLEARLY see Margarito holding Williams first on the opposite side of the ref. Its a smart veteran move. Williams got baited into it, the ref got baited into it. And apparently, so did every Mexican boxing fan on this site (tho I think its more to the fact that its their only arguement).

Go watch the fight again....its plain as day.

Now as for the Margo that killed Cintron. Yes it was the same fighter....only difference is, Williams is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT fighter than Cintron is. Margarito is his best when he can outwork and out muscle his opponent inside. The way Williams fights, it makes doing that HELLA FUCKIN HARD!!!

And you were wrong about Margo being off too long. But someone already explained that for ya.....

:good

The winner was Cintron last night he looked great speed and power Emanuel is doing a great job,don't forget his foe went 10 rounds vs Williams.

Okay, let me break down the way I see things. I'm seeing a whole lot of you who were saying Margo isn't shit with new Williams avatars. If you truly believe Margo wasn't shit, then you shouldn't be taking Williams' victory so seriously.

Taking a look at his style as objectively as I possibly can. I see him as a guy who's better than Margarito, but also seems to have some serious flaws in his defense.. Williams at this point is pure offense, he doesn't seem to go out of his way to take advantage of his height advantage enough to have the same sort of success against a fighter like Cotto, who is a far more accurate and effective body puncher than Margarito is.

Openings are there, I seriously think a lot of you are taking this victory too seriously without considering the strengths and weaknesses of Williams' style. I think he will be able to overwhelm most opposition he goes against, but once he steps into the ring with fighters with cute defenses and accurate, powerful punches, he is going to have some serious problems.

Just consider the Margo fight. If he fought Cotto the same way, eating body punches and allowing exchanges on the inside, do you really think he would win? This last fight answered several questions for me.. Margo has a great chin, good endurance but lacks speed and accuracy.. I immagine the bane style to Williams' belongs to none other than Cotto. I think Williams would beat Cintron.. I think Floyd would be able to counter him and pull off a U.D. I think Cotto would knock him out.

PW would KO Overrated Cintron who is being handled very carefully.
