Pacquiao beats Margarito
| November 14, 2010 1:54 am |Manny Pacquiao proved beyond a doubt Saturday night what most people believed coming into his super welterweight championship fight against Antonio Margarito – that size doesn’t matter as much as speed and quickness. And heart. Pacquiao, 17 pounds lighter than Margarito at the opening bell, had too much of everything for Margarito and won extending his record to world championships in eight different weight divisions. Nobody else has more than six.
Pacquiao (59-3, 39 KOs) put on a boxing clinic, dominating the fight from start to finish, landing combinations at will as Margarito could not protect his face. By the end of the fight, Margarito’s face was a bloody, swollen pulp. But he never gave up.
