Kermit debuckled on the first fight and mind set on the second one....could it be possibly related to Cintron's absorbing the plastering punchers from Margo, and that pain remained on the back of his head...if you look at the second fight carefully you will see that Kermit was almost bracing up when Margo threw his punches..... Any others that went back last night and watch previous Margarito fight... Also, in the Cotto fight, you can also see it on Cotto past the 6 th rounds, his deminour to being hit by Margarito...was different to his previous fights
It makes me wonder about my fighter Clottey as well. He's never sustained an injury in the ring before using his high guard. If those were bricks hitting his arms...ouch
No doubt...nos that said, perhaps was from this fight that Margo started to use the plaster to protect his hands, as you recall he substain a substatial hair line fracture on this fight, Clottye also substained the injury from blocking the plastering punches....
Now after the fact, you can almost read Cintrons taughts in the second fight,..like saying:" ...this is not right, this guy hit way harder than the normal person, something is wrong...."
If Antonio Margocheato is going to cheat in a fight he's a 4-1 favorite than I think he'd cheat if a fight with less favorable odds. This puts huge questions on his big wins w/ Cotto, Cintron, and Clottey.
this knee jerk reaction is unwarranted. Should Roy's entire career up to the point where he was tested positive for Roids be thrown in the garbage? what about Toney? Mosley? What about Tito? Oscar with the illegal hand wraps?
And when went down Emanuel Stewart said:"Cintron's acting as if he is really hurt by the body punch":huh
First of all Tito's wrapped were not illgal, he necver used any plaster like substance to enhance his wraps, his wraps met the Athletic Commission requirements regarding how many rolls of gauzee and tape to be use....Margaritos issue is totally on another league...when you knowingly add a plaster like substance to harden your wraps..something is wrong and malicious about it....atsch
If this is true. im not saying that it is but if its true that marg hand raps really make that big a difference whats taht say about Paul williams. He must have a world class chin!
Cintron would've loss anyways -- and you don't know for sure he used such things against him. Cintron is not very good. He needs space to get all his power into his punches and Margo just crowds him and beats him. Cheat or no cheat.
The thing is, every big win that Margo has had in recent years is going to be scrutinized because of the what happened with the hand wraps last night. Margo fans won't like it, and Margo detractors will love it, but if what is being reported is true, Team Margo has no one to blame but themselves.
Let's wait and see what happens. Though if he's been using them all of the time, it raises plenty of questions about the observers sent by the people he's been fighting. *If* this has been occuring and NONE of them have noticed it when watching him get wrapped, then they have no place working in boxing and should quit the sport effective immediately.
