Manny Steward is right, that one shot really sapped cheato.

Whats amazing to me is that manny doesnt have to fight this way. He could just out speed Margo, take very little punishment, but instead he stands in there and trades and beats him right in the middle of the ring.

Yeah it isn't always the smartest, but it is undeniably striking.

It's definitely a different fight than on the stream. I remember thinking that Margo had hurt Pac against the ropes and was throwing the harder punches when they landed. Not the case at all.

The guy is a true fighter in ever sense of the word.

The announcers are wrong./ See Maragriot shows THIS is a mistake. Letting Margarito move in an uncxontested way gives the Mexican momentum. Ya gotta stop him before he gets started.

+1 And lamply just said it.

Margarito's moment!

Now watch how manny starts round seven. He BURIES a left hand in Margarito's body.

Manny is willing to trade.

I think if he tried to go side to side the entire fight, Margarito might have hurt Pac badly eventually. You have to slow cheato down. Cotto couldn't and we saw how that ended up. PW didn't and cheato was coming on very strong late in that fight.

Manny felt some of those shots in the 6th round. Give the little man credit.

Gumby Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:31 pm

Manny beat him in that exchange though.

The 6th round was likely Margo's most effective, he might have even won it.

**Soonermark890** Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:33 pm

God Margo's face. LOL

That type of exchange though is one I think a guy like Berto has a 50-50 shot in given his power and hand speed.

Guest Sat Nov 20, 2010 11:34 pm

See I think at this point a 4-2 scorecard isn't crazy.

I agree. Berto is very very dangerous to anyone.

Here's the problem I'm not sure Maragrito doesn't have better feet.

No but its not that close either.

It's not crazy, but 6-0 or 5-1 is more reasonable and Pac is controlling the fight.

True. Manny domninted four rounds and maybe the Mexican barely won two.
