Anyone else read this in Boxing News this morning? Bizarre if they have waited this long before not letting him fight "But a source close to the situation believes the NYSAC have already decided that Maragrito will not be allowed to fight due to the loaded handwraps he was caught wearing prior to his January 2009 loss to Shane Mosley."
Can't imagine it is but there must be some credibility behind the rumour if Boxing News have decided to run with it
Surely the NYSAC would have made this clear at the very beginning? Sounds like a misinformed rumour, to me.
less than 4 weeks out to the fight thats pretty bad. you can say move to another site but its not that simple. Vegas won't take the fight at such short notice.
I heard (can't remember where I read it) that Arun already had to go to various states in order to find somewhere where Marg could get medical clearance to fight, following the broken orbital bone he suffered against Manny. He may actually be in no real condition to fight - you know what Bob Arum is like. All about the money.
I would say theres no chance of it not happening in NY less than a month to go but if Boxing News are printing this then there must be something in it to be honest.
