He shouldn't be fighting.
Is he actually blind in that eye?

Don't know, Mate. It was at work. He likes to play blackjack. I would just chit chat with him.

But the difference between before and after that fight was startling

Yes, definitely can’t see him getting licensed outside of Mexico...

Would the BBBoC even sanction Margarito to fight over here given his age and inactivity ? You'd hope not TBH.

I'd be amazed if he could see more than vague shapes out of that eye.

I hope they find someone else for Eggie. There are plenty of fights in the B level for him.

Not sure how old that "after" picture is, but that eye looks better there than some of the other pics I have seen.
