Margarito was weight drained

[Lance Uppercut]

I'm not making excuses for Margarito's loss, but one his managers, Franciso Espinoza, claims that after Tony's win over Cotto, he had traveled to several countries and packed on some weight. Apparently he had trouble taking off the weight for the fight.

He weighed in under 147, but they said it was very tough on him and that they are going to consult a nutritionist and discuss the possibility of moving him up to 154.

they still want a rematch with Cotto, so maybe they'll go once more at 147. They claim he's too big to keep fighting at 147 for much longer and that his body is taking a toll.

Margarito didn't look even close to 100%. I think Mosely would have beat him at 100% regardless after seeing the performance, but he definitely looked out of it.

This is MArgarito's 2nd excuse. Last week they were blaming his loss on eye surgery which he supposedly had a week before the fight. I thought they would stick with that one.

Marg has to stay at Welter, he has to use his size and strength at the higher weight he would be ineffective, like Hatton is at Welter.

Also do not believe Marg was cheating. He never was a fighter that relied on one punch power and never had that freaking power that a certain Puerto Rican great use to have.

must have known he was gonna lose in advance to blame it on eye surgery last week, cause the fight was just Saturday, jackass

I guess a guy being broken down and thrashed inside and out just is not enough for some around here!?Did Tony say this or his Manager?

It really wouldn't have mattered.Mosley was on point,too fast and too strong.Oh and Bookkeeper.......Santos didnt chase shite out of 154,that was nip & tuck until the cut came.
