yeah that was an entertaining fight. Dudes ear just suddenly started to cauliflower late in the fight and Margarito kept punching him in the side of his head and it just ripped in half. lol, it was disgusting! there was this funny moment when the ref stopped it someone said why, and he said something like, "his fuckin ear is gone!"
yeah, but Lujan's ear was perfectly normal before the fight, the punishment he took during the fight is what split it open. That bum kimbo fought his ear looked like you could breathe on it and it would pop before the fight even started.
honestly I think Cotto will pass on an immediate rematch. Margarito will likely face the Clotty/Judah winner or a Paul Williams rematch. I think if cotto/margs do rematch it will be at least one year from now.
I think that's the way Margarito will go, Clottey/Judah winner. Not sure I'd say Clottey would handle Margarito, but he's a big guy weighs in a lot heavier then 147. I'd favor Magarito.
I honestly don't think Margarito wants none of Paul Williams. I mean, he never wanted to fight him in the first place he was ordered to fight him or be stripped of his belt. That's the fight I really want to see and the winner proving once and for all who the #1 welterweight is.
And LOL at Paul Williams being 6'1. Margarito is 5'11 and that's no lie. Paul Williams has to be at least 6'3
6'3, 82 inch reach at 147. Boggles the brain. Athhough I was reading the Ring Magazine and there was once a fighter, Panama Al Brown, 6'0 bantamweight (120 pounds!), 76" reach. WTF

Panama Al Brown Record:
134 (KO 61) + lost 19 (KO 0)
bantamweight
5′ 11″
Born in Panama on July 5, 1902
He was tall and thin, standing 5' 11' and weighing only 112 to 126 lbs. Known as the "Elongated Panamanian," he had an amazing reach of 76 inches and surprising punching power.
He died at age 48 from tuberculosis, there are rumors that he had it his whole life which exlains why he was so skinny.
I've actually seen a couple of his fights, he was really good, he bounced and floated around the ring and used his extreme height advantage very well. He had suprising punching power as well, which explains his 60+ KO's.
I subscribe to the ring magazine cuz every issue has interesting info on obscure boxers from the past, I like reading the articles on oldschool fighters, then looking them up online. fuck i'm addicted
