It was all Manny for 12 rounds. He battered Margarito's face and peppered him at will. Speed was the killer. Margarita entered the ring 17 pounds heavier at 165 to Manny's 148, and Manny still looked stronger.
Manny even carried Margarito for the 12 and final round, he could have easily KO'd him. Margarito's face looked battered and his right eye was nearly swollen shut with a nasty cut underneath.
Figures. Margarito not much of a threat without his illegal wraps. He was always very mechanical and slow for a fighter, and didn't do well if his opponent did not offer much lateral movement. Margarito just a mediocre fighter and never did belong among the elite fighters of any division. What a scam he represents.

Good sparring session for Manny.
But you really have to admire the sheer genius of margarito's trainer Robert Garcia. He knew margarito's wraps would be checked, so he gave it to him in the form of a 15 pound supository.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Oops! Guess that didn't work out too well.
Time for Manny to fight the likes of Berto, Mayweather, Mosley.
I'm not sure whom I'd like next like for Pacquiao to fight next. Not sure if I'd at all like to see him fight again. He has nothing more to prove.
Given last night's fight, Mayweather would be a nice feather on Pacquio's cap but, it really doesn't matter. Mayweather adds little - if anything - to Pacquiao's resume.
Regarding plasterman margarito, I could not be happier to see him get the beating he received. Nevertheless, the beating was truly unnecessary after round 9. I cannot understand why the referee didn't stop it. Worse yet, I cannot understand why margarito's cornerman (Robert Garcia) allowed him to continue fighting. What was there to gain? Did his fighter have more to loose than to gain by allowing him to continue?
This must have something to do with that machismo thing which places "all things macho" before logic and reason. Robert Garcia was irresponsible for letting his boxer continue to receive an aweful beating which could permanently impair his health.

As soon as Mayweather comes out of hiding I'm sure the fight will be made. But Floyd's too busy winning fights by slapping around his baby's mama and ducking Manny with excuses.
What's happening here is that Floyd is waiting for Manny to get worn down in some tough fights before facing him. Hoping he'll slow down a notch and come in as damaged goods. He's known for fighting guys who are past their prime in age or battle worn. Either that or smaller and of little threat. Contrast that to Manny taking on risky fights and bigger opponents (guys who Floyd ducked) while thoroughly dominating and Floyd's star is quickly fading.
There would be added value to fighting Mosley, he's done.
Berto needs to prove himself against someone like Cotto before he gets a shot at the crown. So far he's proved nothing and fought no one. He's fighting a guy by the name of Freddie Hernandez this month...yeah that's what I thought too...who?
Unless Floyd steps up, there really isn't much more for Manny right now.
He needs to stay at or below 145 to be at his best. Maybe the winner of the Bradley/Alexander fight might generate some interest, but probably not enough revenue.
Bingo! As I stated further up on this thread, margarito's cornerman did not base his decision to let his fighter continue fighting on logic or reason. He based his decisions on idiotic pride. The result. . .an orbital fracture. Margarito's health is now impaired. How good will he perform on future fights, if at all?
Well, as I stated elsewhere, Tijuana needs just one more street sweeper/entertainer. We just found a qualified candidate to fill that position.
