Does anyone feel that it is a shame for boxing fans in general that Margarito, with the exciting style he brings, was cheating? In terms of action that Garcia fight was better than most i have seen lately and you can tell that Margarito is a good fighter. He is a complete ass for cheating of course and his antics could have really hurt somebody but i dunno... was wondering if any other fans felt the same
I enjoyed Margarito's fights for sure. But people aren't just mad about the wraps, they're put off by his mullet-like hairstyle. It's almost unforgivable as far as how it reflects on the sport.
Theres no proof that A) He has ever cheated in a fight, and B) He knew about the wraps before the Mosley fight. If anything his performance last night indicated to me that no illegal wraps were used in his previous fights. Its clear some people think hes an ass anyway, with or without proof, this thread is just to restart the anti Margarito campaign immediately after he comes back and wins comfortably.
I would never do it in competition but when I'm in the gym I use old wraps because they are already formed to my hand, that way it makes it quicker and easier to get Into some gloves as soon as possible I'm more alligned with the British forum. Cynical as ****. They showed no evidence, just handraps with a plaster like substance are any wraps when you sweat then leave them over night. It was against the rules but the way people say bricks, rocks, steel etc as if he loaded the gloves are just as clueless as the rest of us. With the Manny and clottey fights it's pretty clear that cotto's defence was ropey as ****. No one would of cared had it been an other welter but when it's cotto every fan was in on it. So there was already a bais. Anyways somebody try and be heroic and show a picture of cotto's face to make the point that they where loaded.
You thought the fight was entertaining? I thought Margo was going to make a statement when he KD Garcia in the 1st but after that it was dull...
Yeah man, it wasn't a barn burner or anything but it was cool to see other sides to Margarito's game. He moved,circled jabbed was in and out with his flurries. Hell, i think he even blocked a punch!! - i know it was against a very limited Garcia but still... after a year off i enjoyed seeing this fight. I just have such conflicting emotions... bottom line is that i don't think i will ever pay for a PPV he is in. I know there isn't substantial proof, but hearing it from Nazim and the commission and various reporters that it was quite severe convinced me
Margarito is a beast! Margarito not excusing wa he did but sutn must of been wrong for him to do that.
