CC#1845 El Gamo, well put tho in most parts I'm with you there is 1 part I'm not and thats on the future of Margarito we both see it a bit different...

Heres my take on the fight.

What a great fight.

Thank you to both fighters for that.


What a shame for Margarito everything hes ever worked for all the wins he's had at Welter, the 7 defenses of the title down the drain. He will be discredited by anyone and everyone who doesn't like him. It's a shame cause it's completely his fault. When I saw/heard his pre-fight interview and I hear him say that he WASN'T gonna throw as many punches but that he would concentrate more on power I knew right there and then he'd loose. Cause there is no way he could win the fight throwing less. Margarito is a volume puncher thats his fight and he didn't fight his fight. As soon as the interview was over I turned to my bwoy! and told 'em I hope he was serving us a 'bluff'. Cause of course I thought he was just saying that to say it but that he didn't really mean it. Thinking he would switch it up once in the ring. Well guess what? He didn't. He went out there and just let Paul dictate the fight from early on Margarito didn't throw enough and he started off waaaaaaaaaaaaay to late, when you possilby loose the first 6 rds. straight theres a HUGE problem. Now let's be honest here Margarito was catching a lot of punches with his gloves Pauls jabs were more like slaps then jabs BUT the fact of the matter is he looked active and busier then Margarito he did it threw out the fight even when he lost rounds Paul threw more. Add that to those big shots that Williams was landing here and there and you got yourself one good performance thru 6 rds.

I can't hack at Williams for his win no excuses. However if you can't see that he was geniunely hugging Margarito early on then I don't know what to tell you. Cause I sure as hell didn't jump in my car snuck in the Home Depot Center leaned through ropes and told the ref.
'Pssst, pssst..... hey!! Williams is huggin too much wadda 'ya say you warn him on that and then threaten to take off points? Thanks'
If can acknowledge that he geniunely won the fight fair and square they you guys can genuinely admit that he was hugging Margarito. Now yes I understand Margarito was HOLDING his hand but this is after Williams would come on to him and hug.
Understand this isn't an excuse/nore Am I trying to justify anything just a simple observation that Williams held excessively.

I really think Margarito will never again get back to where he was after this. He might continue to fight but I don't think he will make it back to the top ranked. Again it's no ones fault but hes, to add insult to himself he goes and with a straight face says he was robbed. That right is down right wrong, he should know better then that. Someone else here stated that eventho they didn't like Margarito and what not he could understand why Margarito felt he was robbed being that coming into the 12 round the fight was close. Still I personally think at best Margarito won 5 rounds and that's been kind to him.

Well then the Margarito Express ends here, I never claimed that Margarito was better then PBF. I never claimed that Margarito was invincible. However I did claim that he had been a champion for years, had paid his dues fighting whomever they put infront of him.
And he was overdue for a title shot. How do you earn a shot at THE Champ in the div? You can do it several ways. Beating another champ and trying to unify thats 1 way, Wining a title not loosing a fight in years and fighting whoever is there defending your title. He did just that and wanted a shot at Zab. I'll always think back on Zab vs. Baldomir and know that on that night it was suppose to be Margarito there fighting him and not Baldomir. If you've followed this saga you'll know. (Let's not forget Zab was just looking for an easy set up fight)

Heres hoping that the future fights in this Welterweight tourney can be as good as this one.
