Pacquiao vs Margarito Update: Antonio Margarito Suffered Orbital Bone Fracture
Monday, November 15, 2010 Posted by relentless
It is all over the news and the internet that Antonio Margarito was rushed to the hospital after the fight for check-up. As we all know, the Mexican boxer was vanquished by Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
According to ESPN news, Antonio Margarito suffered a fractured orbital bone to his face and might be needing a surgery. He has to stay in the hospital for observation till Sunday.
Orbital bone according to Wikipedia is the cavity or socket of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated.
The blows were so extreme that our very own Manny Pacquiao turned to referee Laurence Cole with piteous supplication to stop the fight. Pacquiao said:
I told the referee, 'Look at his eyes, look at his cuts,'
I did not want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about.However, Margarito does not want to stop the game.
Margarito said: There was no way I was gong to quit. I’m a Mexican, we fight until the end.Margarito was not able to attend the postfight news conference at the request of the fight doctor due to his condition.
In this fight, Pacquiao really earned my utmost respect. On the other hand, Margarito dissapointed me when he mocked coach Freddie Roach about his Parkinson's disease although infairness to him, he fought well on this bout.
