I remember thinking Clottey definitely did hurt his hand against Margo, he was hitting him with some peaches early and stopped throwing pretty abruptly. Of course he might have gone on to pull his whole earmuffs routine and lost anyways, I can't remember the rounds very well. Funny to think that Margarito beat Martinez all those years ago as well, I wonder if Sergio was any good at that point.
i agree. thats why i said that maidana isnt great but neither is margo. both fighters are just determined and dont stop unless they have to. both have shown many vulnerabilities in the ring but margo has shown that he can overcome somebody trying to overpower him with his speed while margo has shown that he cant overcome somebody with speed. and whether or not maidana uses his speed effectively, i think that his speed would be the deciding factor in the fight?
