antonio margarito face

Manny Pacquiao beat Antonio Margarito on Saturday night and it wasn't done with much elegance. The fight was so brutal that Margarito will have to go through facial surgery to fix a fractured orbital bone on his face, according to espn.com. Margarito's face was cut open in the match and was very swollen by the end of the 12th round, but the Mexican managed to pull through to the end before being defeated to a unanimous decision to Pacquiao.

"The was no way I was going to quit," Margarito said. "I'm a Mexican, we fight until the end."

If Margarito were in the other corner, though, on Saturday night, he might not have been allowed to finish. "I was surprised how tough he was," said Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach. "He has the worst corner. They probably ruined his career by not stopping the fight." Pacquiao also shared concern for Margarito during the fight. "I told the referee, 'Look at his eyes, look at his cuts,'" he said. "I did not want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about."

So a brutal encounter for Margarito and he will be hoping to recover as soon as possible for another dual.
