Margarito changes his story too much. Here's a quote during the Nevada hearing. "My former trainer [Javier Capetillo] put knuckle pads on that had irregular substances inside. I didn't know about them, truthfully. I would have been the first person to say, 'I can't go out and fight,' if I had known. But I didn't feel anything." He says he didn't feel anything, but at the CSAC hearing, he said he never had time to test them to feel anything. Why wouldn't he say that to the NSAC?
I agree he should admit his guilt. I think he would be in much worse shape had he done so. I think he would have been banned for life if he admitted his guilt. Honestly that is what he deserves.
He's a **** poor liar. First rule of covering something up is always keep the same damn story. The internet has made it so you can't really lie anymore. Records are everywhere.
Of course he admitted to full fault, and I'm sure he got a fat check to take the fall. Someday when he runs out of money he will write a book on what really happened.
Very doubtful. The plaster would have to have been applied while the bandages were on his hand. I just can't imagine not noticing them hardening in basically casts.
Margarito's hands were wrapped the same way they've always had been......which is why he may not have noticed. The only difference in the illegal knucklepad in question was that it was used...... .....a used knucklepad placed between layers of gauze, so this was'nt a scenario where Margarito was feeling those knucklepads on his bare skin. I doubt you would have noticed the difference between a legal knucklepad and that which was placed on Margarito's hand if both knucklepads were wrapped the same way. What people are absolutely incapable of comprehending, and I read this from an article from someone who felt the knucklepad, was that in order to feel the difference, you have to feel and bend the knucklepad with your fingers. There is'nt anyone who can say, "I've had my handwrapped numerous times, and I would know if something was wrong." ......you cant say that because you've never been wrapped with the knucklepad Margarito was. You dont know just how much different it weighed or even felt on top of the knuckle area over qauze, in comparison to a legal pad. That idiot drama queen Nazim Richardson who at one time was calling the knucklepads "blocks" now has changed his tune on the matter and his been quoted as saying that Margarito may very well not have felt it any different that a normal pad........ ........and again for the BOZO'S that have'nt been educated on this matter and that voted on this poll that Margarito definietely knew. Shane Mosley who felt the knucklepads right after they were confiscated was quoted as saying that they did'nt feel any different to him from a legal pad. .......still people refusing to accept the born facts as they are, and to this very day even dismissing the comments from the very people that discovered the knucklepads, Nazim Richardson and Shane Mosley.
divac what do you think of him changing his story? First he didn't feel anything, now he didn't have time to feel anything.
Again, someone who is'nt educated on the matter. The knucklepads to this day have yet to harden as you describe them, "like casts." There has been numerous articles that described the comments from people who actually got to feel those knucklepads, and most of them voiced that they had expected the knucklepads to have been much harder that what they actually felt. People are just refusing to accept the facts of the matter as they are.
