    I'd rather call it something that accurately reflects what was on the tape rather than just making things up like a drama queen you are doing. Rocks in gloves?:patsch

    Margarito could have KILLED his opponents by cracking their skulls with his loaded wraps. Is that too dramatic?

    Far too dramatic. You have NO IDEA what was in those gloves. I've always wondered what type of people just look at the headlines in newspapers and base their opinion entirely on that without thinking or bothering to read the rest of the story underneath.

    Guess I know now.:good

    Wrong.

    I've read all the articles, I've kept fully up to date on all the developments, and I watched live as HBO gave us the news that none of us wanted to hear: Margarito had been caught loading his gloves in his dressing room by esteemed trainer, Nazim Richardson.

    My opinion is based on... concrete facts. You're telling me that I have "no idea" what was in the gloves, but Capetillo has already admitted to loading Margarito's gloves. It does not matter EXACTLY what was in the gloves, the fact is they were loaded and this has been admitted to. What was in the wraps was illegal. I repeat for dramatic effect, what was in the wraps WAS ILLEGAL.

    This should make it clear.

    Margo would win. He was up at the time of the stoppage so if it did go to a decision he would have won as well.

    Of course it matters what it was with before you start on with allegations of "concrete", "rocks":patsch and Margarito killing people.

    Capetillo had admitted wrapping the hands illegally, thats a million miles away from loading the gloves with some of the ridiculous substances that you've dreamt up esp. in terms of how it would affect the Cotto fight.

    Having seen how this issue has been discussed on ESB I can certainly see how the Salem Witch Trials got up such a head of steam....:lol:

    At least you'll admit that Margarito's trainer has admitted to cheating. For a while there it looked like you were even trying to play the sceptic on that matter.

    The proof is in the pudding, Margarito has been using loaded gloves.

    It was a close fight due to the fact that he was hurting cotto starting in the mid rounds BUT he wouldnt have hurt him if not for those plasters

    Cotto may not be able to hurt margo but still has the ability to outbox him, margos plastered gloves don't give him a better chin but it gives him a better punching power. And being that the fight got to the 11th round, it would certainly go the distance without those plasters.

    Plus those KDs were a factor also, he might not be able to produced those KDs if not for those gloves

    So far more people think cotto could have won a UD than people who think it would have been the same
