Early life and amateur career
Margarito was born in Torrance, California.[2] From the age of two, he grew up in Tijuana, Mexico, where he and his brother spent a lot of time in a neighborhood boxing gym.[6][2][7][8]
He compiled a record of 18–3 in his relatively brief amateur career, indicating that he may have turned pro quickly due to financial concerns (which he himself confirmed on his personal television segment on HBO: Ring Life: Antonio Margarito).
Professional career
Welterweight
Margarito made his debut at the age of 15, beating Jose Trujillo in
First world title fight
On July 21, 2001, he got his first world title try against southpaw
WBO welterweight champion
Santos then vacated the WBO title to go up in weight and pursue the WBO
At this point, Margarito considered going up in weight to try to lure Fernando Vargas, Oscar De La Hoya or Shane Mosley into a lucrative fight, or Santos into a rematch at the light middleweight division. On October 17, 2003, Margarito made his light middleweight division debut with a two-round knockout win over Maurice Brantley in Phoenix, Arizona.
On January 31, 2004, back in the welterweight division, he retained his title with a second-round knockout of Canada's previously undefeated Hercules Kyvelos.
Margarito faced Daniel Santos in a rematch on September 11 of the same year at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan for Santos' WBO Light Middleweight title. The rematch also ended because of a headbutt, but this time, as the fight had already reached the four rounds mark needed for fights like these to be decided by judges, Margarito lost by a split ten round technical decision. He was down on two scorecards when the fight was stopped.
On April 23, 2005, Margarito retained his WBO welterweight title against another
After almost a ten-month layoff, Margarito returned to the boxing ring on February 18, 2006, retaining his title with a first-round knockout of
On December 2, 2006, Margarito defeated future champion
Losing and regaining the WBO welterweight title
On July 14, 2007, Margarito lost a 12-round unanimous decision to undefeated challenger
On April 12, 2008, Margarito engaged in a rematch with Cintron, who had won the IBF Welterweight title belt following his loss to Margarito in 2005. In the early rounds, Cintron struck Margarito with several flush power shots to the head, but Margarito remained unhurt and continued to execute a game plan of continuously moving forward and pressuring Cintron. In the sixth round, Margarito landed a liver shot, knocking Cintron out and taking the IBF title. As the referee counted Cintron out, HBO cameras captured Margarito from a neutral corner, gesturing upward with his arms and urging Cintron to get up so that the two men could continue fighting.[15]
Margarito vs. Cotto
Following his successful rematch with Cintron, the IBF ordered him to fight a
Margarito won in the 11th round via technical knockout. Margarito had lost almost all the early rounds, but he came back with relentless pace, eventually winning in the 11th round, in what was lauded as one of the best fights of the year.[16] At the time of the stoppage, Margarito was ahead by two rounds on two judges' scorecards, with one judge having it even. Prior to his fight with Shane Mosley, Margarito had a record of 37 wins, 5 losses and 1 no contest, with 27 wins by knockout.
Margarito vs. Mosley
Margarito fought
After the knockout loss, Margarito said he was weight-drained during the fight, and was also suffering from dehydration and back problems.[22]
Margarito vs. García
Margarito was scheduled to return to the ring on March 13, 2010, against Carson Jones, pending his relicensing, on the Pacquiao-Clottey undercard. But for reasons unspecified, promoter Top Rank announced he would not return.[23] Margarito expressed interest in fighting Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao if the latter's bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. did not materialize.
His comeback fight was postponed until May 8 and was held at Aguascalientes, Mexico, where he faced light middleweight contender Roberto García (28–2).[24] Margarito won a ten-round unanimous decision over García to capture the vacant WBC International Light Middleweight title.[25][26] The judges' score cards were 99–89, 100–88 and 99–90, all in favor of Margarito.
Margarito knocked García down in the first round, the first time García was knocked down in his boxing career.
Margarito vs. Pacquiao
On July 23, 2010, Bob Arum announced that Margarito would face Manny Pacquiao for the WBC Light Middleweight championship that was vacated by then
Margarito vs. Cotto II
On December 3, 2011, Margarito was defeated by Miguel Cotto via
Comeback
Margarito came out of retirement in 2016, winning two bouts that year. He faced Carson Jones on September 2, 2017, winning a slugfest by seventh-round technical decision after a cut opened up on Margarito's eye in the early rounds.[41][42]
Tampered handwraps controversy
Before Margarito vs. Mosley, Mosley's trainer,
In late January the California State Athletic Commission suspended Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, pending investigation.[46] At the hearing, Margarito claimed he did not know what was in the wraps, while Capetillo admitted to making "a big mistake" by placing the wrong inserts into Margarito's hand wraps. The commission voted unanimously to revoke Margarito and Capetillo's licenses for at least one year. While it found Margarito did not know about the gloves, it took the line that as head of the team, he was responsible for Capetillo's actions.
Since state boxing commissions generally honor suspensions imposed in other states, this action effectively banned Margarito from boxing in the United States.[47]
In November 2009, it emerged that red stains on the hand wraps Margarito used in the Cotto fight were similar to the stains on the inserts seized before the Mosley fight. This has raised suspicions that Margarito's gloves were loaded for that fight and possibly others as well.[48]
Personal life
Margarito resides in Los Angeles, California,[49] with his wife Lorena, whom he married after his first marriage. He was first married to his childhood sweetheart Michelle in 1999,[6] came to an end.[50]
