He was telling them no holding when they touched each other.

PBF makes Margo look bad the first half, then gets worked over the second. Similar to Cotto, and Zab by Clottey. PBF will slip alot but those punches land on the arms and shoulders, and take their toll through the fight. Margarito is too big for PBF and his game plan is too break him down. If he is smart, he doesn't even throw punches at PBF's head. He aims for the center of his chest, and at his shoulders when throwing head shots. Body is right at the belt line. When PBF tries to hold he leans on him and pushes him against the ropes.

If it's a large ring, and the ref lets PBF hold all bets are off.
i think we can call this wishfull thinking. margo is so slow pbf would be 10 steps ahead of him plus we need to add pbf is a thinker in the ring setting up his opp to do what he wants them to do i dont think pbf will even need to hold margo and his stamina is much much greater then cottos so 12 rounds of sticking and moving no problem

That's why I say if it's a small ring, and if the ref doesn't allow holding. PBF can't hurt Margarito to the head, so potshotting doesn't keep him off. There's no where to run in a small ring..... If PBF can go to Margaritos body and hurt him there, he can win, but sticking and moving ain't happening if theres no where to move....
