Nazeem Richardson: Trinidad was legal just not in NY, Margarito had a weapon!

How was Trinidad different than Margarito?

NR: Trinidad was an abrasion against the rules. Margarito downright had a weapon:bbb. There is a difference when you say you're playing chess and have your men lined up differently, as opposed to having extra men on the board. Margarito tried to bring extra men. He had a knuckle pad:-(. Margarito had a strip over the back of his hand:bart, around his thumb :fireand wrist:nono. They told me it was because of a previous injury:yikes was why they wrapped it that way. One look and you could tell it wasn't right.


WORST OF ALL, EVANGELISTA COTTO DIDNT EVEN GO SEE THE HAND WRAPPINGS. EVANGELISTA, DIDNT EVEN GO TOUCH THE GLOVES. NO WONDER HE IS NOW FIRED.

Nazeem is a real dude. I hated the way Trinidad was made to be a cheat by the media and fans.

 

Richardson would know. He's a hell of a boxing expert.

 

I'm glad you posted this. Way too many people on this forum compare Tito's situation with Margo's when it is completely different. Thanks

 

Naz comes up with some great quotes.

Swim without getting wet

 

Same interview, on Trinidad's wrapping:

... Real crazy. The Trinidad people brought in the HBO people and the Trinidad people were yelling that the fight was off. Then they went over and they got Donald Trump to come into Trinidad's locker room. Was I supposed to be impressed by Donald Trump and roller over? I didn't even acknowledge him (laughs). Then they called for Don King to come in. Don King came back yelling, what does he have to do with hand wraps (laughs). It was all crazy. I remember the Trinidad people went over and got Bouie, because I was causing such a ruckus. The Trinidad people pulled Bouie aside and brought him into a little room. They tried to talk him into getting the fight moving and how I was holding up a multi-million dollar fight (laughs).



Nazim is the man

 

Big time. The guy knows boxing and doesn't give a **** about politics.

 

Yeah, its a huge difference.

I am Glad Nazeed is a big enough dude to say it and clear up the issue. Way too many people say, ahh its because he is Puerto Rican that you get on his case.... but there is a difference. What Tito did was legal just not in New York Citty!

What Margarito Did is Illegal everywhere

 

Marga cheato should have been a pro wrestler

 

I have been saying exactly the same for a year. I hope now that it comes out of Nazeem's mouth people can fiinally understand it

 

Nazeem is the man!

 

He would be an epic heel right now, that's for sure.

 

Tito had tape dirrectly over the skin, which is illegal in NY, everybody knew that, well those who know the sport....

 

And thats all you got from Nazeem's comments?????atschatsch
