WBC JMW belt

2 old vets met for the interim belt - Antonio Margarito vs. Erislandy Lara.

I thought the 2 might take a few rounds to probe for weaknesses - nope! They went right after each other, back & forth, it was like Hagler/Hearns!

By the end of round one, Antonio's left eye had already started to swell.

So Antonio came looking for the KO in the 2nd & a huge right uppercut dropped Lara for an 8 count. A still buzzed Lara tried to fight on but the Mexican cornered him & kept punching until the ref stepped in at 2:30 of the round.

Margarito is now 16-3 (14 KO's) & Lara suffers his 1st defeat, 20-1 with 17 KO's.
