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.
