Margarito Licensed To Fight In Texas

[amat]

Brian Kenny just delivered the news on ESPN. Great, no drug testing, bad judges and now we let guys who try to sneak plaster in their gloves fight. As if I needed another reason to hate Texas. Anyways, it will be a decent fight at least. But damn.

I came in here to post pretty much the exact same thing.

Fucking Texas

[Beanflicker]

They just don't give a shit in Texas. I was watching an MMA card last weekend from Houston and the fighters were breathing in from pure oxygen cannisters as they were being introduced.

It sucks that a scumbag like Cheato will make another big payday in the sport, but lets all just hope Pacquaio takes a couple years off his life.

[Beanflicker]

Manny should just come to the ring in a sumo suit against that cheating prick

[fan johnny]

I love Texas! I should move there.....

Expected but still a god D%4m fu%$ing shame, not only does it show a lack of strength and unity between the states and thier commissions but this piece of crap shouldn't be fighting at all and sure as hell not the so called "top guy" aguably in the sport.....and yea i'll bitch and complain and be forced the be a hypocryte by the time the fight comes and order it. But all this b.s. and to top if off another freakin catchweight makes this fight crappier and crappier. For once i'm acually proud of my state !!! We're broke as sh*t out here too but didn't bitch out to that cheater. I actually hope margo wins cause that's exactly what we all deserve. The floyd fight won't be as appealing anymore and our new champ will coming off a loss where he got destroyed and a win over uhhh yea whatever his name was and best know as a cheat. Floyd will then fight and beat the crap out of him and the super fight that all this sillyness and name calling over will never even happen. Lol

I would prefer another opponent like Andre Berto because of Plastergate but......


Just two years ago Pacquiao was fighting at 130 and was 129 againts Marquez in march 2008 and if a poster that time would post that Manny Pacquiao will fight Margarito @150 or anywhere above 147 then there's a big chance that he gets banned by the authorities because of insanity.


Margarito is taller than Arthur Abraham and Mike Tyson, Manny Pacquiao is 5'6
Margarito's reach is 73 Pacquiao 67
Margarito started fighting at 147 14 yrs ago and had 4 fights @154, Manny Pacquiao had 3 fights @ 147 Majority of the rest are below 126.




I dont like this fight but its better than not fighting at all IMO.

[stebs]

Pacman & Roach took this fight because it's an easy, real easy fight and when it's over Margarito will be wishing he was turned down again.


Pacman by KO


Margarito will be so confused and beat up that night he won't be able to find his way back to Mexico.

[No Contest]

California just missed out on a big money fight I guess, you knew Texas was always a option.

i'm glad margarito has been given his license. the man served his one year ban and deserves the opportunity to make a living. and let me say this, margarito is going to be a very, very live underdog in this fight. pacquiao can run around all he wants but margarito is going to pursue him and pressure him like he's never been pressured. he's going to go looking for pacquiao's body from the beginning and by the later rounds, it's going to be pacquiao who will be looking to survive the onslaught.

i think if this fight goes the distance, pacquiao will win so i think margarito's only chance is to win by KO which i think is very doable. against clottey, pacquiao was marked up pretty good even though clottey rarely punched. margarito is going to be throwing punches in bunches and will have his moments.

if pacquiao can't take out margarito early (seriously doubt it), he'll be in serious trouble (like cotto) because margarito tends to be a slow starter and starts heating up by the 5th round.

not to mention that margarito has a great, young, trainer in roberto garcia, and i believe is going to shock pacquiao and the boxing world with his new and improved boxing skills.

[ElTerribleMorales]

Pacquiao stops Margarito after 6 lopsided rounds, Margarito isn't heard of again as a serious opponent from 2011 onwards

[kingfrnk]

Damn... Well i hope pac puts his ass to sleep

Why? He did something that could, and has, ended the careers and lives of other fighters. A one year ban followed by an incestuous multi-million dollar fight is hardly punishment for something that could literally have led to the death or serious injury of another fighter. Furthermore, to make matters worse he has boldly and clearly lied throughout the entire process of inquiry. He's never admitted any wrong doing or apologized for his actions. Margarito is a stain and I hope he suffers brutal knock out after brutal knock out until his suspect career is finally over.

Boxing has enough black eyes and is enough of a marginal perceived joke of a sport without clowns like Margarito around.

The fact that this fight was never meant to be and is morally downright wrong it might already have set a bad omen for PAC. Hopefully not. The truth here is the super villain in Margacheato actually has a chance in seriously hurting Super Hero Manny.
