    wow. That. was. Awesome!

    Props to Mosely destroying the number 1 fighter right now. I thought this dude was finished a long time ago. Way to prove me wrong!

    Looks like Margarita was a cheating son of a ***** too with that **** they found in his wraps.

    Mosley made it look easy. I told everyone who would listen that this would be a very difficult fight for Margarito. Then they'd come back with - "well margarito beat cotto who beat mosley so.." and I'd stop them right there. Boxing cant be looked at this way and those of you that follow the fight game know this.

    Bottom line is Mosley is a great boxer and it takes superb boxing skills to beat him. As good as Margo is - he's not a good boxer. He's a great fighter who just comes forward and is not hard to find. This was an easy fight for Shane and he knew that.

    As far as the hand wrapping controversy - yeah I'm kinda pissed. This is not good for boxing and those in Cotto's camp can't be happy. I doubt this is the first fight that Margo tried to enter the ring with plaster in his gloves that over the course of a fight would make his fists feel like bricks.

    It's fitting that he got caught tonight. As we all know this was a Golden Boy Productions event and it was against a Bob Arum fighter. There's no love lost between Arum and DLH. They had to of known something and knew what to look for.

    Whoa. I didn't hear about the wrap part. We were in a bar and they had the Affliction sound up.

    Anyway, Mosley fought the perfect fight. He was strong enough to stand up to Margarito and not let him come forward. And he had the power and speed to knock him back. He absolutely dominated the fight.

    What surprised me most is that he finished Margarito. I thought the man was super human. It looked like it was always the ear shots that did the damage. Naturally it knocked him off balance. Margarito still walked thru a lot of the other stuff. But I think Mosley knew how to fight him and where to hit him.

    Mosley said it after the fight - this was an easy fight plan. He knew Margo would walk right into everything he was throwing. And he'd use his boxing skills to evade Margo's looping punches. He was 3 or 4 steps ahead of him all night. What Shane did early that Miguel never did was attack the body early - often selling out and landing wild left hooks square to the ribcage. This was vintage Mosley.

    Verdict is in and it was unanimous.

    7-0 and Margacheato and his trainer have had their boxing license revoked for 1 year in the US.

    Again?? I think Paul Williams and Joshua Clottey may have something to say about that.

    Curious to see how Cotto will look next week against Jennings.

    Cotto has a right to beef. And Margarito is rightfully out. Cheating mofo.

    Paul Williams.....he can't do 147 anymore. 154 is the minimum IMO. He holds a title there now. He was at 160 two fights ago. He's got Winky Wright coming up in April, at 160. I'd like to see him and Pavlik throw down at 160.

    Josh Clottey looked strong against Judah.
