This was me exactly, he was among my 2-3 favorite fighters. I rewatched that Marg. vs Cotto fight at least a 1/2 dozen times and was always amazed with Margs. performance. Once the **** hit the fan about the wraps, I don't even want to watch the fight. I remember hearing about the wrap scandal right before the Mosley fight, felt sick, and thought this guy seemed like such a real dude.
If this is so "cut and dried" why hasn't the California State Attorney pursued criminal charges? In my opinion they haven't pursued criminal charges because there isn't enough evidence to stand up in a court of law. In the United States of America an accused person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If Margo's legal team had their **** together, it would have been fairly easy to create reasonable doubt.
There isn't enough evidence to prove Margo knew. That still doesn't explain the clear as day white substance or why the pads were hard. At least explain why a white substance was put on the pads?
Marg was made an example... There was never even anything closely resembling that he was guilty whether it being him knowing or even if there was "plaster" in his wraps..
where have you been bro....naz, roach and many more have came out to say that it's a huge possibility that margo didnt know...they even went on to say that if they really wanted to, they could sneak something into their fighters pads without them knowing......look it up, it was a great article
Eze no one can explain what it was or what it wasn't... It should have been the prosecutors job to prove exactly what it was since they wouldn't allow Margs team to use a different lab.. There are better t4ests than the one they used which would have found EXACTLY the substance on the gloves... Not just a broad asessment of sulpher and calcium which are probably on your hands now from jerking off with lotion...
No, booradley is claiming the pads were used knucklepads nothing more. I'm asking him to explain why was there a white substance if it was just used knucklepads. Don't you think they tested the substance
i love how everyone ignored this....... http://www.secondsout.com/headlines/main-headline/antonio-margarito-and-the-handwrap-issue
every margo thread easily went 15 pages except this one....hahahahaahahah http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7501876
Of course they tested but not to the best of their abilities given these circumstances... What they did is like finding traces of blood and linking the blood to a suspect because of blood type instead of using DNA.. Someone was telling me about some Plasma test they should have used, but it would have destroyed the sample.. But seeing as there were two pads and they only needed a small sample for the tests, they would still have had plenty of pad left for further testing, and or evidence..
There are huge problems with the initial actions of the CSAC. Why did the CSAC hand down the initial ruling before they had any lab results? Why did the CSAC state clearly that the lab results would not make any difference? Why did the CSAC say they would not lift the suspension no matter what the lab said? There are huge problems with the chain of evidence, and the current state of the evidence. How many people handled the knuckle pads? Where is the so called "white powder?" Were the pads actually "hard?" Or merely crusty form dried sweat and blood? Did Margo's legal team arrange for any kind of independent lab tests? The questions go on and on, and whether Margo is innnocent or guilty, his legal team screwed the pooch big time.
That "blood" was too red, blood fades over time. Likely part of the glove rubbing the gauze. They only had one pad.
Because, I don't think it's hit your mind yet. There was a white substance (only gauze and tape allowed) on the pads. On top of that, the pads were hard! White substance, hard pads. Doesn't matter if it was a cum, it made the pads hard. ILLEGAL. The inspectors all testified there was a white substance spread over the pads (they were the first to see and touch the pads) They all also testified the pads were hard. Margarito's team had a chance, only one pad was sent to the DoJ. You still won't explain the white substance. Why was it there if it was just an old pad?
