    Is this **** serious? Margorito probably would have weighed in at 153 anyway.

    Not 100% proof that he did not cheat, but:

    Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, told me "I'm as comfortable as I can be" Margarito's hand wraps and gloves weren't doctored against Miguel Cotto.
    By GEORGE WILLIS
    Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, said on Wednesday he is "as comfortable as I can be" that Antonio Margarito's hand wraps and gloves weren't doctored during his July victory over Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
    Margarito's career-defining win over the previously unbeaten Cotto has come into question after two plaster-like pieces were found in Margarito's hand wraps before his bout with Shane Mosley Jan. 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
    The California State Athletic Commission has the two hardened pieces and announced late Wednesday the licenses and Maragarito and his trainer Javier Capetillo were temporarily suspended pending a hearing Feb. 10. A long-term suspension could jeopardize a potential rematch with Cotto this June in the Garden.
    Nevada will honor the suspensions while the investigation continues. "We're definitely going to listen to whatever California says when they finish their investigation," Kizer said. "We would hope it was all on the up and up and it was a misunderstanding. But I'm sure California will do a thorough job and let the fans and the media and everyone know what happened."
    Kizer is sure everything was on the "up-and-up" in July when Margarito took the WBA welterweight title from Cotto with an 11th round TKO. Cotto dropped to a knee twice in the 11th beaten, battered and bloodied by a relentless two-fisted assault by Margarito. Cotto's face looked disfigured from the damage.
    Margarito not only won the title that night, but superstar status that resulted in a record crowd of nearly 21,000 fans at the Staples Center for the fight with Mosley. But word came just before the bout that Margarito's hands had to wrapped three times and HBO commentator Larry Merchant told viewers that "an illegal pad" was found in Margarito's wraps, "something that would harden when wet."
    Jim Lampley later referred to it as an "illegal implement," adding "inevitably, the question will arise, 'Did he have that in the hand wrap last July. Did it harden like plaster of Paris? Was it a factor in the fight."
    Kizer is confident the rules and procedures in Nevada prevent any irregularities during hand wrapping and putting on the gloves. "We have experienced inspectors not only watching the hands being wrapped, but also the gloves being put on," Kizer said. "They feel the wraps and sign them and then the gloves and sign them."
    One difference between Nevada and Calfornia is that Nevada provides the gauze for the hand wrappings, while California allows fighters to use their own gauze.
    Speaking specifically about July, Kizer said, representatives from the Cotto camp were in Margarito's dressing room during the entire wrapping of the hands. "They were in there from the beginning," Kizer said. "Not only them but people from HBO, people from MGM, there are always a dozen or so people in the dressing room.
    "I'm pleased with the process we have in Nevada," Kizer said. "Not only does it stop anybody who tries to do something like that, it stops anybody who is thinking about doing it."




    Let's see how much of a man you are now that I put you on the spot.

    This is unfinished business for Cotto, and a chance for Margarito to silence his critics, at least for this fight.

    I think he is referring to Margarito beating a World Class fighter, not some journeyman.

    this is the #1 point that makes me believe Margo did not cheat against Cotto

    That remains to be seen. If he loses to Cotto, he will more than likely be relegated to Mayorga type status. Other contenders will fight him only to put his name on their resumes.
