Best Served Cold: Cotto vs Margarito 2

CJ - Tony Margarito dindu nuffin

 

Damn, can Pac's stock get any higher?

 

actually. this fight is a good fight to demonstrate how Mayweather handpick. He would have handpicked how Margarito was in the second fight. Still a good fighter, but he lost the edge he had in the first fight. So Mayweather would avoid the first Margarito and fight the 2nd. and people do not really see how he is fighting guys who have lost the edge.

 

I saw Margarito beat the Hell out of El Pollo's brother!!! No joke!

And his fellow inspector Mike Bray testified that the insert was smeared with a white substance akin to "cast plaster", a claim which does not appear to match the photographic evidence.

This is why I'm more inclined to credit the impression of Montoya (formed upon inspecting the insert on the day of the hearing), given that he was an independent journalist completely removed from the pressure and drama of the dressing room incident and the persuasive influence of the loquacious, quarrelsome Naazim Richardson.

There's no way to quantify any advantage gained from minimal degrees of 'reinforcement'. Bob Arum made a point worth considering, i.e. that wherever materials are not uniform, wherever a commission allows fighters and seconds to use their own materials, those materials may vary in degrees of firmness. So, without laboratory analysis determining that a foreign material was involved (no such findings from the analysis were ever reported), it is reasonable to conclude that Margarito and Capetillo were, as a result of a dressing room furore and some questionable subsequent testimony, held to a standard that other boxers/seconds will likely have unwittingly infringed upon without repercussion.

Things we know for sure;

-Margarito didn't even end up boxing professionally with the insert that was called into question on the night of the Mosley bout.

-The materials used to wrap Margarito's hands for the Cotto bout were supplied by the Nevada commission.

-Boxing Illustrated proved that Plaster of Paris has no practical application for a boxer over a half-century ago.

 

Luis resto was caught the night of when at the conclusion of the fight he shook hands with Billy Collins sr and sr noticed the tampering

margarito after stopping cotto left the wraps on got his hand raised by the ref shook hands with people hugged people how come nobody noticed something as obvious as plaster that night

I just don't buy it

 

Unless, of course, one bought into the pseudoscience touted here (and regurgitated elsewhere);

The 'calcium + sulphur + oxygen = cakes of Plaster of Paris' equation is patently ridiculous. Calcined gypsum (calcium sulphate hemihydrate) is a specific, identifiable substance — it's either present or it isn't.

Given the very serious and widely publicized nature of the matter, it seems terribly odd that the public were furnished with such minimal detail re. the contents of the report and the glittering credentials of the 'senior criminalist' upon whose findings it apparently hinged.
