Antonio Margarito should be renamed “The Mexican Zombie”.
He was like a slumbering, mindless zombie who desperately wants to knock down Manny Pacquiao during their bout last November 13, 2010 at the Cowboys Stadium in Texas.
Even when he was repeatedly tagged with hard shots to his head by Manny Pacquiao, he just kept on pressing forward with no regard for his safety.
Antonio Margarito stepped into the Cowboys Stadium boxing arena looking like the Goliath that he is being taller by more than 4 inches and outweighing his opponent Manny Pacquiao by 17 lbs.
No problem.
Aside from towering over Manny Pacquiao with a 4 1/2 inches height advantage with Antonio Margarito standing at 5’11″ to the Filipino slugger’s 5’6″ 1/2, another huge disparity was shown at Saturday’s weigh-in.
In a home game against the New York Knicks on November 12, 2010, Minnesota Timberwolves center Kevin Love scored 31 points and grabbed 31 rebounds!
How amazing was that performance?
To put that in perspective, the last time an NBA player was able to score at least 30 points and grab at least 30 rebounds in a single game was 28 years ago.
The blockbuster boxing event of the year is just one day away!
