I hope Margarito gets beaten retarded.
He gets caught with loaded gloves and then two fights later has a multi-million dollar payday, win-or-lose?
Makes me sick.

Most of the bars that claim they will show it will probably try to do so via the Net. Considering that it's a popular fight, the promoters will probably try to block people from watching it free via the Web.

Goes to show you how corrupt the sport is. Marga-cheato should've been banned for life but just because he is with Top Rank, he gets a shot he fully doesn't deserve.

But I think this fight might not be easy for Pac-man, and I also hear that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is hoping Pac-man gets roughed up a bit so that Floyd can have an easier match against Manny next year.

@yaya: previous fights have been just free on Korean TV, so why would they even need to stream it from the net?

I guess you haven't been following boxing lately. Pac-man's last two fights versus Cotto and Clottey were NOT televised on Korean TV or cable or satellite. There is no sign I've seen that Korean TV or cable will air the Marga-cheato fight, either.

The South African sports stations aired the fights but service to Korea has been stopped, so I don't see how else you can see the fights except via the Web or by going to another country to watch it.

Pacman will absolutely destroy Margarito. Not even worth watching.

Pacman by KO before the 8th round.

Disagree. I don't watch Pacman to see whether he wins or not. I love watching to see HOW he beats up his opponents.

Truly the best.

Pac-man is the heavy favorite and I'd bet on him to win but don't forget that Marga-cheato is hungry to redeem himself after the plaster fiasco and he's also the biggest opponent Pac-man has fought to date.

The catchweight is 15 1 pounds but Pac-man will probably fight at 146 since more weight affects his mobility and speed and reports say Marga-cheato is having problems losing weight to meet the catchweight.

Ok, about how to watch the fight, well, you'll have to rely on the Web, it seems. Scrooge Pub in Itaewon says it'll air the fight live but I don't know how that can happen since all the South African channels are no longer available in Korea.

And I'm sure the Web feed will be far from good since so many will want to watch the fight.

The best Margarito is a strong, and durable fighter. He is wide open and relatively slow and easy to hit, but he has always relied on his strength, chin and stamina to beat his opponents.

I think this is a bad fight for Manny. The best, and most focused Manny, likely wins easily, but if he is not as focused as his camp says, then he is in for a long night against a fighter who ususally does his best fighting in the later rounds of a fight. Manny will be fighting a guy 20lbs heavier than him and he has to be extra sharp to avoid that big uppercut that Margarito will be throwing at him all night long.

We will also get to see how much Power Margarito has after his loaded glove scandal. If indeed his manager for the Mosely fight did make a mistake and grab the wrong pads, then it means Margarito is a natural hard puncher and this also has me worried. If his punches have no real affect on Pacquiao, then it will only add to the notion that he has cheated in more than one fight in the past.

The consensus among experts is that Marga-cheato HAS been cheating for many years.
