Margarito's a bit of a sore loser! Seriously...I mean...he lost...period.

Tony didn't work enough. He's crying like a woman for nothing because I don't think ANYBODY except himself thought that he even should have got a draw, much less a win. Tony's a fucking sore loser.

Margarito, visually disappointed, did not hide behind sunglasses to cover up his bruised right eye as he addressed the collected media “I think they told Paul Williams that all he had to do was stay on his feet because I thought I won the fight. He threw punches but most of them I caught with my gloves.”

Margarito then proceeded to hint at shady play by Williams’ promoter “Dan Goossen must have a lot of power in this town but the fans saw the fight. Williams is the one that came out cut and I might have some bruises but my face is clean.”

To the idea of a rematch with Williams, Margarito stated “I feel I was robbed, I feel that I did enough to win so I would only want a rematch if Bob Arum promotes because I wouldn’t want to get robbed by Goossen again.” At this point Arum felt compelled to interject “we trust the decision of the judges as final and I think that it is unfair that Antonio is hinting that there was foul play.”

After a couple of more questions, Margarito bid a quick farewell but not before and impromptu roundtable interview was held with mostly Hispanic media. When Margarito was asked if he agreed with Arum’s last statement, he said “I feel Bob Arum should have defended me a little bit more regarding the decision.”

He has too much pride. If his coach doesn't change his mind, it'll hurt him in the long run.
It's just pride.... if he charged the ref and yelled at everybody like crazy..... then I'd complain.

No big deal. Margarito lost. It hurts to lose man.

yeah the holding was so bad Paul Williams threw 1000 punches....

He's just sore because he thinks he has lost the big bucks with a Cotto fight now unlikely.
A true champion comes back after a defeat and proves his worth all over again, he lost and that's that.
All he has to do is get in the ring and beat a top contender before the end of the year and that Cotto fight may still happen, at the moment Williams is the man.

I never been much of a Margarito fan. Never taught he deserved the praise he got. He fought well against Williams but lost. Even he knows it. What bothers him the most is that he never got that big pay day he was looking for. The loss will not help.

Margarito is a good pro , in an ideal world with only 1 champ in each division he would never have been world champion , i think that sums it all up :)

He is being a bit sore but alot of the ringside press thought he pulled away with a draw or won and obviously he was beating PW in the championship rounds so may be he got the impression he won.

I think it's silly to say he was being sore,B Hop whined after losing the first 6 or 7 v JT in both fights and Winky walked out of the ring and refused any interviews after his draw with JT which in no shape or form was a robbery so I don't see what the big deal is here. In fact,he has more justification for being sore,the prat just threw away a mega fight with Cotto. >:mad Idiot >:mad

I don't agree with alot of them,I had it 115-113 PW. Everyone scores fights differently and I guess from ringside,you have a different view,especially as they can see which of PW's punches were landing cleanly because Tony did block a load of them!

I thought the ref warning Williams for holding was BS and the springboard for a Margarito fix.

Margarito has been fighting at a snails pace and he was lucky to get passed an injured Clottey.

I did feel sorry for Margie because the "Paul Williams" advantage at that weight is sickening. I favor him against Mayweather and Cotto and would not blame either man if they ignored Paul "longreach" Williams.
