I have to admit, I used to hate Margarito. I read about him getting caught with loaded gloves and I just thought of him as a dirty no-class fighter. Problem was, I'd never actually seen him fight. (New to boxing)
Then I watched the Pacquiao fight and I saw how much heart he had. He was getting destroyed and he knew it, but even though he could've quit at any moment he went the full 12 rounds. Perhaps a little stupid, certainly reckless, but that night I really felt like he showed something real. He wasn't fighting to beat Pac, he was fighting to restore his honour and his name.
Been a fan ever since.
For this fight? Shit I just don't know. I'm a Margarito fan, but I would also like to see Cotto win. Above that though, I'm a fan of boxing and I just hope we get a good fight because this year's big fights have been largely disappointing.
