As a Cotto fan, I doubt he cheated...

I dont think its beyond reasonable doubt. In a somewhat exaggerated analogy...if a man is suspected of one murder and convicted of a totally separate one, it would be crazy to convict him of the first murder because he was prove to have commited the second. Yes it would make his defence 10x harder but it wouldnt make him indefendable.

By the way beyond reasonable doubt doesnt mean "its reasonable to assume". It means that logic dictates that there is no other option.

 

So according to the article:

Nevada provides the gauze.

California lets the fighters bring their own.

This is good enough to clarify there was nothing illegal going on in the Cotto fight.

 

Maybe what Naz could have been getting at is that Margo used them in California before...

Like when he fought Williams... Perhaps?

 

You're being naive hre Zak. And thats not your style.

You honestly think the first time he ever did this was against a fighter he was a 4-1 favorite to beat?

 

Yep.

 

yea no evidence no case everyone needs an excuse
they said"pretreated" and they said they wet and dried the gauze repeatedly
and this gave them a stiffer product to work with
this would make the gauze stiffer
therefore reducing the stretch of the gauze and helping in balling the fist tighter
and also giving off a dusty residue

 

besides plaster stays soft while wet
it is not able to dry
and if it was already dry the sweat from his hands would soak it and therefore go soft

 

As far as we know from the evidence, at least with respect to the fights in Nevada, since THEY provide the gauze, it is at the very least HIGHLY unlikely that it occured in THOSE fights, Cotto in particular. Could it have occurred in other states with less rigorously supervision than Nevada? Sure, it's possible. But again, where's the EVIDENCE?

 

The question I think everyone should ask themselves is why? Why would he in a fight in which he is the clear favorite, is not a pay-per view main event, and is against what was regarded as a fading superstar would he debut illegal handwraps. If he cheated against mosely it is "fair" to assume that he did the same in a bigger, more meaningful fight against Cotto. It is some what odd that people would believe that , if proven guilty, this was his first time.

 

Again, the odds of that happening in Nevada - a state with a strong commission that apparently PROVIDES the gauze that fighters use to wrap their hands - are extremely minimal. If it is proven that he did it in the Mosley fight, people might have some grounds for SUSPECTING that he did it fights held in states with less rigorous regulation, but not in a state like Nevada where they have well-established supervision procedures and where the COMMISSION PROVIDES THE GAUZE!

 

When is the gauze provided? Do you know? Anyone know?

I don't, but would love to know.

 

Don Kings "corruption" you so often point out, WAS NEVER PROVEN.

Hypocrite.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Yeah, he BRIBED the juries!! :rofl

 

I just watched the cotto margarito fight again. I dont think margarito did anything wrong. Cotto had a bad game plan (he clinched about once a round) and margarito chased him round the ring. It would be interesting to see how many punches cotto took to the head in the fight. Even on the inside he was getting hit time after time in the face.

Even if he is found guilty of attempted cheating at the mosley fight its pretty clear to see he didnt cheat for the cotto fight (dispite the fact that i originally thought it was looking that way).
