Divac would be the first to shout from a rooftop "Pac is on steroids!" with 0 evidence...yet here he is defending Margo to the bitter end despite Margo being banned from the sport cos he was found guilt. Just because Margo is mexican Dont pay attention to the moron too much.
Montoya, I dont even know your stance on Margarito. The only thing with you I took exception too is you mentioning that you had sources that said Nevada did not provide wrapping material to the fighters. I posted a link to where it stated the difference between Nevada and California in regards to the wrapping material being provided. When I heard that in Nevada the inspectors provided the fighters with gauze and tape, immediately logic would indicate the chances of any trainer or fighter slipping something illegal onto the knucklepad is almost zero.......... .....which is why when you mentioned that you had your sources, I wanted to hear them, because if in fact Nevada uses the same protocol as California does and lets the trainers walk in with their own wrapping material.......then my mindset would have to change to being more skeptical that Margarito's wrapped may have been loaded for the Cotto fight as well. All I want is for the truth to come out, and not someone spewing out innuendo's about what may or may not be happening as far as the NSAC's wrapping protocol. I want to hear the truth.......and I would think that you being a credentialed journalist who had access to feel Margarito's knuckle pads in question, would have the clout to make a simple phone call to the NSAC and ask them directly about their wrapping protocol. You make a statement and leave suspicion, but have nothing to back it up with. Does it not state in the link I posted that Nevada provides fighters with gauze and tape????? Why would it be difficult to prove or dissprove that the NSAC supplies fighters with gauze and tape? If you have respected trainers quoting you that Nevada does not provide gauze and tape.......and lets be real now.......we're talking about high profile boxing cards, not club cards where I think anyone could see where the rules would more easily be broken, and we could see where a fighter may wrap with his own material. ......but if you have your sources that you believe, there should'nt be anything that should stop you from calling the commision themselves and clearing this up. You make it sound like the story you're working on is Rocket Science as far as discovery is concerned, when in fact its as simple as a 123 phone call. In any regards, If you dont have anything significant to add, I'll give it up and cease to criticize you. ......but I just shake my head in amazement when whats supposed to be a proffesional journalist throws something out like that without an ounce of proof.:huh .....but very well, throw me a PM when you break the story!
No, it doesn't. It only says they provide gauze. From the article...... 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. Don't know if it means the chances of something being slipped in is lessened or not. In my mind, it is entirely possible they did. It is also entirely possible they didn't.
Is there a major malfunction in some of the posters here? Javier Capetillo himself in interviews had admitted he got the illegal insert in question from his gym bag where he keeps stuff for his fighters' hand wraps. There is no redemption here regardless of who provided the ****ing gauze. The insert was found to be illegal.
This was the link I was able to find, though when it was hot news, I read several links that stated both gauze and tape. For arguments sake, it does'nt really make a difference though.......if the commision provided just the gauze, you would think an inspector would notice the trainer not using the gauze he provided to make the knucklepad that they would have to do in Nevada. I'm not about to research and waist my time looking for the proper link you want, but when this was hot news there were links describing the inspectors in Nevada handing over to the fighter or chief second, a sealed bag with the gauze and tape that was supposed to strictly be used........even described the inspector making certain not to leave the site of that bag until both hands were signed off. IF this were not true, I wish someone would discover it and call the NSAC on it.
Montoya the inserts as even you described them were wet when confiscated....... If they were wet, they were illegal, no doubt about it, I'm not arguing that point. My skepticism stems on whether what was in the inserts was actual plaster. As you described it Montoya, you said you felt that knucklepad and it did'nt feel plaster hard. You described it as hard as a business card, which is'nt very hard. What damage is a business card going to do inside of a glove and gauze above it????? The CSAC claimed the labs found elements of plaster that when mixed with moisture an oxygen would harden. We already know that the inserts discovered were wet(illegal, suspensiions were rightfully handed)....... .....but how do you explain those inserts not hardening plaster hard when the lab reports according to the CSAC came back as elements of plaster?????? The media paints Margarito as having actual rock hard plaster in his handwraps, how do you explain the wet inserts when dried, not hardening plaster hard??????
I follow boxing for many years; but you're wrong to assume i was following yours posts; it amuses me to see the extent to which some people try to bend reality even though it's there for all to see on tape. There's some funny contortionist moves there, and you're indeed among the dodgy performers . As far as what kind of guy you really are, this poster figured you pretty well it seems:
By the way, Gabriel, for many months i thought you were doing a decent job on the TNR shows. But now i'm getting to know you better on the message boards, and my opinion of you has completely changed Kind of like Conditioner with Cintron...
What happened there was not surprising at all. We are talking about Cintron after all. The guy who quit against Margarito TWICE. It was frustrating because he was starting to show some balls in there, but then decided to gamble with that refusal to fight again, hoping he would get an easy payday, and probably a victory (which did not happen). But this thread has become an interesting read for me.
Gabriel Montoya is a disgrace to boxing writers, in the same way Kellerman is a disgrace to wiggers everywhere.
Never drank alcohol? Dude your life is missing something, no wonder you are mad. Alcohol is what you need right now. But I agree, Cintron did jump.
LOL... to each there own. Drinking, smoking, and drugs are of no interest to me. Never have they been. Life is just fine without any of that ****.
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP-9CFtFRiA[/ame] Fast forward to 7:20, right before Cintron stops Feliciano. And than watch Cintron act again, apparently PWilliams was lined up for Cintron to fight and Cintron, once again, did his bad acting job. Rolling around on the ground like he'd been shot so he could avoid fighting Pwilliams, almost as disgraceful as his leap out of the ring.
What a disgrace! Cintron has a history of such shenanigans...... Instead of the commision ordering a Williams rematch, they should be investigating and looking into Cintrons past history and withhold his purse for the Williams fight. .......I'd even go as far as to look into suspending Cintron for fraud and conning the paying public.
