Margarito-Mosley: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - It’s about as can’t miss as it gets. In the ring will be two men with an established affinity for violence in volume, excellent chins, and knockout power. At stake will be the valuable real estate of last impressions in a sport where ‘what have you done for me lately’ is a more serious question than perhaps it’s ever been. [details]

This should be a hell of a fight! Good luck to both men.

I cant wait for this fight!!
I Got Marg on a late stoppage, i think he has too much pressure for a slippin Shane.

This pre-fight report card was pretty decent till I saw that they grade margarito and Mosley as both being defesively equal. Thats just ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[C.Y.]

whoever did the grades are ****ing ****** as ****...
Margarito - B speed?? **** no he's as slow as a sloth..
Margarito - B defense? i didnt know blocking ounches with your face is good defense.. Granted Margarito has other good qualities that they didnt seem to measure such as chin and other things, but damn they really ****ed up on that one... Same goes with Mosley.. Mosley sure as hell does not have A - speed and he surely doesnt have B defense

speed = shane A; tony C
power = shane B; tony B
defense = shane C; tony D

You're underestimating Marg's defense. He takes well off the shoulder, rolls with a lot of shots, and blocks well with gloves and arms. If he got hit as much as it looks like he does, he'd be retired already.

Men Margos defense is horrendus. Blocking shots with your face is not defense, is being ******. He have a great chin and great workrate, but saying his defense is any good is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

Prediction. Mosley will give Margarito a very tough fight, he definetly have a chance of winning, his speed and movement will give him a chance. But I think Margaritos youth,Workrate,chin and Will, will win him the fight in the end. I think Margarito is to durable for a aging Mosley who didnt look good againts a Ricardo Mayorga who has become a journey man. I think Margarito will lose some of the first couple of rounds and from round 4 and on, he will turn those jets on, he will start throwing punches in bunches and his pressure and determination will make Mosley look old and batter. My pick Margarito SD!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, I disagree. Williams had a hard time catching him flush all night and Cintron never could. Slow the broadcasts down and watch in slo-mo; he has subtle defense. Sure, he still gets tagged but its not an often as it looks.
