Margarito resurfaces!!!!

[El Gamo]

There is nothing for Williams to gain by taking a rematch at this point. He won the first fight pretty clearly as far as I'm concerned. There is simply no criteria under which Margarito could have possibly won more than 5 rounds. If Margarito can lift the IBF belt from Cintron, then there will be some incentive for Williams to take a rematch. I don't see a rematch between Williams-Margarito as going much different. Williams will win again by UD. Personally, I would rather see Cintron and Williams get it on.

Furthermore, I love how people say the Williams was just slapping his punches as if they did not hurt Tony. If the blows weren't stinging Margarito, why didn't he just plow through Williams and take him out?

Well,I had it 115-113 Williams but Margarito gave away the first 5 rounds. At least 4 press row scorers had the fight for Margarito. Williams camp does not want a rematch with Tony,not at the moment anyway and they don't want to fight Kermit as I've posted on many occasions so I guess PW just wants to stay out of the loop.

As to your second point,Margarito is known for being a slow started but this time,he was too slow and on top of that,he changed his game plan so rather than throw as many punches as PW did(which Margarito is fuly capable of),his team decided it would be better for him to pick and choose his sopts,counter and he did that well but only in the second half of the fight.

I'd certainly choose Margarito to win the rematch based on his showing when he did step it up and the fact that his punches were far harder throughout the fight,punctuated by the 11 the round. That by FAR and away the biggest round either fighter had.

If he starts earlier and applies more pressure,combined with his somewhat surprisingly good defence in the fight,he can win. His defence was very very good in the first half of the fight,he blocked ALOT of punhces,I mean PW's connect % was pretty low considering he was fighting a stationary target.

That "slapping bitch Williams"


Williams will turn out to be a tough nut for anyone in this division. Margarito needs to wait in line. He lost convincingly.

Williams will definitely be tough for some of the guys at WW but after watching the fight on qite a few occasions,I don't think he'l be as difficult to beat as I initially thought.

Secondly,Margarito should not have to wait in line for anyone. He was champ for 7 years. He went to court to get the fight. PW should and was grateful for the fight,the least he can do is,at some point,rematch Tony. Finally,there are fighters around that get KTFO and get rematches,this was a close affair. Margarito should definitely get a rematch at some point.
