Talk:Antonio Margarito

JPRichardson:

Now that Cotto has been cut, bruised and basically beaten to a pulp by Manny Pacquiao, it is clear that Cotto's father claims in the sense that only by cheating Margarito (or anyone else) could have hurt Cotto as bad as he did have no substance- Also, at the peak of Margarito's scandal, Cotto's cornermen spoke out and clearly said there was no way for Margarito to conceal anything in his wraps under their close observation. Emphasizing the "possibility" of Margarito concealing any substances in his wraps or gloves in any other fight in his career is matter of pure speculation and does not belong to a boxing encyclopedia.

== Scandal and Suspension==
[[file:CSACphoto.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Margarito's Seized Wraps]]
Prior to his January 24, 2009 bout with [[Shane Mosley]], [[Nazim Richardson]], Mosley's trainer found what one doctor described as plaster hidden in the wrapped hands of Margarito, leading to accusations that Margarito may have been trying to cheat. At Richardson's demands, California State Inspector Dean Lohuis called for Margarito's hands to be rewrapped. According to Judd Burstein, the attorney for Mosley, Margarito had wet pads in the wrapping. Mosley's doctor, Robert Olvera, likened the material to the type of plaster used to make casts. Burstein said he seized the pad removed from the wrapping and another pad found in Margarito's dressing room. Both were placed in a sealed box that was given to Lohuis for further study. [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2009/01/officials-found.html] In February, Margarito and his trainer received a one-year suspension. Margarito appealed the ruling saying that he had no knowledge of the illegal wraps. [http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=3867817&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines]

*Andrade down in round 10.
*After controlling the fight for the first eleven rounds, Bute decides to go for the knockout in the 12th. That turns out to be a bad decision, as Andrade catches him with a number of power shots and sends him heavily to the canvas with less than 5 seconds left in the fight. according to the TV network chronometer. Controversy arises when referee Wright takes 24 seconds to finish the mandatory count on a man who was clearly KO'd on his feet. Moreover, the official timekeeper decided to await until the referee finished his incredibly long count (he even counted to 6 twice), to ring the bell, which led many to believe there would have still been enough time for Andrade to finish the job on Bute. Several boxing critics agree the fight should have been ruled a TKO, and that Wright clearly tried to protect Bute.
*After the fight, Andrade's team was visibly upset, and argued that referee Marlon Wright had given Bute a long count and should have stopped the fight. While Golden Boy Promotions indicated that it would file an official protest with the IBF, it never did.
*At the post-fight press conference, Bute stated that he would grant Andrade a rematch.
*Fight was named Fightnews Canada 2008 fight of the year, and round 12 was designated as the round of the year.

'''Attendance:''' 13,116 
'''Announcer:''' [[Michael Buffer]] 
'''Promoter:''' [[Golden Boy Promotions]] and both Mayweather and Marquez Promotions 
'''Aired On:''' [[HBO Pay-Per-View]] "Number One/Numero Uno" (Main Event) 

== Notes ==
* [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]] 39-0 (25 KOs) vs. [[Juan Manuel Marquez]] 50-4-1 (37 KOs)
* Marquez, a 2.5-1 underdog, entered as the # 2 pound-for-pound fighter and the # 1 lightweight in the world according to [[The Ring Magazine]]. Mayweather, who ranked as the # 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world prior to his temporary retirement, was unranked by the publication due to inactivity.
* Marquez had never fought above the 135 lbs. limit.
* For Mayweather Jr., it was his first bout in a year and nine months following his temporary retirement. Marquez was coming off his world title knockout victory over [[Juan Diaz]] seven months earlier.
* It was Mayweather Jr.'s seventh bout and third consecutive to take place at the [[MGM Grand]] in Las Vegas, Nevada. For Marquez, it was his fourth bout at the venue.
* The fight, originally scheduled for July 18th, was postponed due to a rib injury suffered by Mayweather Jr.[http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/index.ssf/2009/06/mayweathermarquez_postponed_fl.html]
* According to Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the bout was supposed to have a weight limit of 144 lbs. When Mayweather Jr. weighed in two pounds over the contracted weight, he was forced to pay Marquez $600,000 ($300,000 per pound).[http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4485941]
* Reports indicated that Mayweather received a guaranteed $10 million for the bout, while Marquez earned a guaranteed $3.2 million. These figures did not include revenue from pay-per-view sales.[http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4485941]
* In buildup for the fight, [[HBO]] aired its series "24/7" in which it briefly chronicled the two fighters' training and preparations for the bout. In episode three, Marquez was shown to be allegedly drinking his own urine. He said it was something he had done for the last five or six fights because he felt it was a way to recycle important vitamins and proteins and as he said, "...why not drink them again instead of wasting them."[http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=4457871&name=rafael_dan]
* During training for the bout, Mayweather Jr.'s uncle and trainer [[Roger Mayweather]] was arrested on felony coercion and battery-strangulation charges at a Las Vegas apartment in an attack on a female boxer he once trained.[http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/9891022/Police:-Roger-Mayweather-arrested-after-skirmish]
* Of the notables in attendance were [[Mike Tyson]], [[Oscar De La Hoya]], [[Bernard Hopkins]], [[Shane Mosley]], NBA Hall of Famers Charles Barkley and Ervin "Magic" Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger and hip-hop artist Sean "P-Diddy" Combs. Also, included in Mayweather's ring entourage was Paul Michael Levesque, better known as the WWE's Triple H.

== Bout Summary ==
[[file:MayMarquez.jpg|225px|right]]
The opening round was largely a feeling-out round as Mayweather worked with a quick jab and a lunging left hand. Marquez thew the occasional hook but was unable to connect against the speedy Mayweather. A minute into Round 2, Marquez landed a right hand that got the attention of Mayweather. A Mayweather left hook, however, caught Marquez coming in and put him down midway through the round. He was up quickly and received a [[mandatory eight-count]]. Mayweather continued to outbox Marquez in the third, finding success with the lunging left hook. Mayweather continued to show impeccable defensive skills in Round 4 making Marquez miss with most of his shots. Marquez did land another right hand in the final minute, however, that brought a smile to the face of Mayweather. By the end of Round 4, Mayweather had opened a small cut above the right eye of Marquez. Round 5 saw Mayweather continue to be too fast for Marquez. He began landing more frequently with both left and right hands. Marquez did seem to have a greater sense of urgency in Round 5 as he was clearly trailing on the cards. The disparity between the two fighters grew in the 6th as Mayweather began landing a lead right hand that at one point wobbled Marquez, who had begun bleeding from the nose. Marquez was simply unable to land against the supremely quick Mayweather, who either dodged the attack outright or shoulder rolled it with ease. Round 7 saw Mayweather continuing to land with the jab and looking to land uppercuts as Marquez came in. Marquez at one point had Mayweather backed into the ropes but could not connect against Mayweather's movement. In the last minute of Round 8, Mayweather backed against the ropes and encouraged Marquez to attack, at which Marquez came in wildly throwing hooks to the body. As the bell rang, Mayweather smiled walking to his corner attempting to further aggravate Marquez. Marquez opening the 9th Round strong and was able to land against Mayweather intermittently. A big left hand, however, caught Marquez flush toward the end of the round. The 10th Round continued with much of the same; Mayweather landing the occasional lunging left hand and lead right and Marquez showing desire but not connecting with anything of significance. In the 11th Round, Marquez continued to show effort but still took big punches. The final round went like the many previous with Mayweather totally in control.

== Comments ==
* "Marquez is tough as nails, he's a great little man. He was really hard to fight, and he kept taking some unbelievable shots... I've been off for two years, so I felt like it took me a couple of rounds to really know I was back in the ring again. I know I'll get better."" [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]] [http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4488532]
* "He surprised me with the first knockdown. He hurt me in that round, but not any other time. I don't want to make any excuses, but the weight was the problem. He's too fast. When I hit him, he laughed, but I knew he felt my punches. We tried to work the speed, but the difference was the weight." - [[Juan Manuel Marquez]] [http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4488532]

The Big Bopper? --[[User:Ric|Ric]] 18:21, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Are you trying to push a point of view against Manny Pacquiao, as it appears that is your intent by the look of your edits.--[[User:Matt Tegen|Matt Tegen]] 12:11, 8 November 2007 (CST)
--------------------
Hello baby!

I just simply can't agree with your point of view on the fight. Your comments try to make it look like Pacquiao actually whooped Barrera's ass, and, I am sorry, but I was there and it was not the case. My perception is that the fight was much more close than what the scorecards might lead you to believe, and that it is simply fair to say Barrera made a nice performance while Pacquiao was awarded a decision on the base of the "busiest fighter" (which as far as I know is not a criteria for boxing judgement), and the "most marketable" one.

I had in my personal cards at least 8 rounds that could have gone either way, which makes it a very close fight in my eyes. I think Barrera set the pace of the fight and was very successful defensive wise, while he was also the man that landed the hardest punches.

Saying that Pacquiao "easily outworked Barrera" is blatantly stupid. Pacquiao was visibly hurt during the fight (while Barrera was not)and I believe Pacquiao did not look as his former self.

Sorry but I will keep correcting your biased posts until I feel they are fair.

== Editing Pages ==

When editing pages, you should really refrain from deleting text that is already there. Just now you edited the [[Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs. Ray Sanchez]] page, and in the process intentionally deleted both the CompuBox stats and the category. Why? --[[User:Ric|Ric]] 12:01, 11 January 2008 (CST)

== Rreply ==

JP, my comment to you was concerning the deletion of material that was already in the fight page before you edited it, and then deleted the old material--which included the "2007 Bouts" category and the Compubox stats. Whether the Compubox stats are accurate or worthwhile is another issue. (Those stats are in many fight pages, so obviously some folks find them of interest, for what they are worth.) I am just saying that it is considered poor Editor etiquette to delete material already in the page unless there is some clear and valid reason for doing so. Otherwise, I enjoy your contributions and am glad you are contributing. --[[User:Ric|Ric]] 19:34, 11 January 2008 (CST)

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Ray Sanchez

2008-01-11T16:52:24Z

JPRichardson:

[[file:JC vs Ray Sanchez.jpg]]
<fight>1235118</fight>

Undefeated Light middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (34-0-1, 27 KOs) fought impressively, stopping Ray Sanchez (20-2) in the 6thth round at the Tinsley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Chavez, 21, the son of the famous Julio Cesar Chavez, came right at Sanchez from the opening round, electing to fight him in a brawling fashion and disregarding any thought of defense. Chavez Jr’s body shots clearly bothered Sanchez, who finally dropped to the canvas under a barrage of punches in the 6th round. 

The fight was stopped at 1:33 of the 6th round. Chavez Jr., like in his other bouts in his short professional career, took a lot of head shots from Sanchez in the process of stopping him. Both fighters tended to load up with their shots as they tried to take each other out in the early rounds. Chavez Jr., nonetheless did not seem to be hurt at any moment during the bout. 

In the 3rd round, Sanchez was bleeding from the nose from having taken one of Chavez Jr’s big hooks. In the sixth round, Chavez landed a perfect right hand that stunned Sanchez. Not to waste the opportunity, Chavez unloaded with a flurry of shots, sending Sanchez to his knees, badly hurt.
