Margarito

Im surprised Arum hasn't payed someone off yet.

 

I know right.

 

Well, my guess is he did pay Capetillo off to take all the blame to help Margarito save face.

 

Arum is a crook.

 

Texas is a fair state and Im sure they know Margos innocent.

 

I don't understand how it'll be bad for Boxing.

What HE DID gave a bad IMPRESSION on Boxing, but it won't affect it.

If anything, this is the type of fight that makes Boxing thrive.

 

If Texas licenses Margarito, it will show us that the imcompetence of the CSAC is not wide spread, and that would send a very positive message.

 

Who the **** are you to judge?

 

I'm still surprised people are so convinced Margarito knew what Capetillo was putting in his wraps. Check these quotes

Dan Birmingham: “My guys watch me closely when I wrap. But what you’re talking about here happens pretty quickly. The pad goes on and then you put more gauze over it. So sure;

Pat Burns: “Some fighters don’t pay attention when their hands are being wrapped. They’re listening to music or talking to someone or watching a television monitor. And even if they’re watching, they’re not wondering what’s in the knuckle pad. If I wanted to put a few layers of hardened gauze inside a fighter’s knuckle pads,

And if I was the fighter; Eddie Futch [who trained Roach] would never have done something like that. But if he had, I think he could have kept it secret from me.”

Don Turner: “I wouldn’t do it. I don’t cheat. But if I wanted to, unless what I was putting into the knuckle pad was very heavy,

Emanuel Steward: “My experience has been that a fighter watches very closely when his hands are being taped. But in a situation like this, it’s definitely possible that a trainer could put an insert in the knuckle pad without the fighter knowing. When I get in the dressing room before a fight, one of the first things I do is make two knuckle pads and put them on the table. I don’t put them in my bag. I leave them out on the table, and so does every other trainer I know of. So I have a hard time believing that Capetillo took the wrong knuckle pads out of his bag by mistake. But the fighter doesn’t watch me make the knuckle pads. A lot of times, the fighter isn’t even there when I make them. So

unless I told him or the pads were heavy enough that he could feel a difference.”

**** Arum and Margarito. Just because you dont have anymore worthy fighters in your stable dont mean you can put him against Pac and expect it to sell more then FLoyd vs Mosley. If he really is looking out for Pac, he would set up a fight between him and Martinez and grant Pac's request to get paid more then Floyd at the start with over $20 mil guaranteed.

 

Texas already denied margarita his license....he applied so he could fight on the Pacquiao undercard !!!

 

Nah, he wasn't denied, they just told him to go to california first then come back.

I expect because california denied him they will deny him as well.

 

That was in Nevada....I thought I read that he was trying to fight in the undercard of Manny - Joshua and he was denied a license.

I'll check into it futher....

Anyways it doesn't look good for the cheating *******!!!
