Wow I wonder how much weight Margarito will gain till fight time, to me he looks really drawn out where Manny looks very comfy. Will be a great fight for as long as it lasts since neither guy backs up.

Hey, Jriver, what took you so long to get in here and join in the melee???
WElcome!

Oh, by the way, look at the picture. I bet it won't be an uppercut to the chin that will do it for Pac; it will be a hard hook to the mid section.

LOL I think you are correct, most fighters with stomachs like Margaritos for whatever reason cannot take alot of body blow, perfect example Tommy Hearns against Marvin Hagler.

Arum and Roach are the masterminds behind this trick of catch weight thing. Draining opponents to the max just like Dracula. Taking them to the slaughter house later on and beating the hell out of them. They did the same chit with Cotto.

Bad example, hearns had flamingo legs. The mex is much stronger on the extremity. Hagler was much taller than the filipino. Only speed will be the difference, and if Manny goes to the jaw, he may be surprise with the tornado's ability to take a punch. He must strike his ears to ko him. On the other part, the Mex must fight tall not do like Marquez did with Juanma. Fighting tall is his only chance.
