Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-03-05, amazing performance by both boxers: Antonio Margarito vs Jorge Paez Jr is very close to get four stars!The former Wbo, Ibf and Wba Ww champion Antonio Margarito entered this fight with a record of 38-8-0 (27 knockouts) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since December 3, 2011 when he lost the rematch with Miguel Cotto (=Cotto vs Margarito 2).
His opponent, Jorge Paez Jr, has an official boxing record of 39-7-2 (23 knockouts) and he entered as the No.99 welterweight in the world but ‘Maromerito’ won just one out of his last three bouts, against Daniel Echeverria (=Echeverria vs Paez Jr); after this bout he lost to Carlos Ocampo (=Paez vs Ocampo). Margarito vs Paez is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

The villain is back to beatdown ginger boy canelo
I don’t think Margarito will be able to reach top10 ever again. A fight vs Alvarez would be total mismatch. Margarito is not what he use to be.
Hey u do not know how beneficial a good break can be btw who knows what he’ll pack in his gloves this time!
Haha! Good point. But based on what I saw in this one, they were probably filled with feathers.
Two matchsticks with a lot of fitness, he should go into the massage business. One good smack from Carrot top and he would relly know what boxing is all about. Quantity might give you points but power wins bouts!
I agree. No power at all from these guys. I actually thought the fight was quite boring but I like to see power punching…
What an amazingly violent fight! At first, Paez was good on the outside and took the first round, but after that, Margarito (Manos de cemente!) closed the gap and was able to win most the rounds since he was better at creating angles even from this very short distance. We then got served with a huge quantity of wide uppercuts, big sunday hooks, clashes of heads, wrestling and everything… Then, in the 6th, at the moment I really though Paez was about to go down, he landed some very hard right hooks and sent Margarito to the canevas. Even though the latter was hurt, he was able to comeback and win the 7th (the only round I have a different score than Barbosa). Hats off to both warriors. In my opinion, this one should be rated 4 stars.
I had it 92-92 Margarito, but since it was a very messy fight, I can understand one could have a very different scorecard.
Bon ben je vais le regarder d’abord :)
