Lampley was way out of line last night (on Margarito's "cheating")

Nah diagree man. It makes it that much more satisfying. Cause basically he got his ass handed to him so badly that it wouldn't have matter. Only with the HBO angle the cheating **** got what was coming to him. SO MUCH MORE SATISFYING!!!!

 

:-(

Exellent and spot on post!

Lampley definitely saw a piece of thread sticking out and he pulled it.


.......I dont believe its about the commision making a mistake however.....
We dont know the whole story, but when the opposing camp accused a fighter of loading his wraps, I think its right for the commision to confiscate those wraps (whether they look right or not) and examine them in a lab.

Mosely's camp made an accusation.....its only right that the commision confiscate the evidence whether they thought there was something to it or not.

If it turns out to be nothing, Margarito imo has a case with going after HBO for jumping the gun and soiling his reputation.

Even if its proven that Margarito's wraps were clean, a stigma like that is hard to get rid of......

Felix Trinidad is accused by boxing fans all over sites like this for loading his gloves pre-Hopkins.......and nothing was ever proven except for the fact that a commision who already had approved the way he wrapped his hands, was talked into Trinidad having to re-wrap on Bernard Hopkins camp say so!

There is no hardcore evidence to prove that Tito cheated or even tried to cheat......but he's still dogged with that stigma by fightfans.

Its going to be the same way with Margarito even if its proven he was innocent!

If Margarito is innocent, I say he should take those HBO turds to the mud and stick their heads in it!
No question that was totally unproffesional of Lampley to drag Margarito through the mud and question each and everyone of his victories without so much as the hard cold facts coming out!:-(


What makes me even madder is that here in LA, the local nightly news took what Lampley said at face value, and told their viewers that Margarito was caught plastering his wraps......
....they even made shook their heads in bewilderment that Margarito tried to do it twice because they made him rewrap 3 times.:-(

A mole hill can turn into a mountain once newspeople who dont know an ounce about the sport get a hold of that type of news!

 

Agree. Lampleys a phony emotional wife beater.

 

Rocks?

Source?.

Or is there a cut of point for the amount of times you can get hit with Rocks?

We are talking about the Cotto that got sent across the ring by Paulie, Yes?

But it took 11 rounds from ROCK's from Margarito to put him on his knee, not knock him over, but put him on his knee.


Why dont folk just start a 'Lets Lynch Margarito before we ****in know anything thread'

 

Bernstein forms his opinions as well.....but the difference between he and Lampley is like that of a professional and a clown......

Bernstein will form is opinion and the way he has his scorecard, but just about everytime in a competitive fight will point out the rounds that were close and point to "if those rounds swing the other way, this fight could just as easily turn to the other side."

When Bernstein speaks, you dont get the vibe that he's saying my word is the gospel.......where Lampley plays to it like his opinions should be etched in stone!

Those who are casual fans like the clown.......myself, I prefer listening to the proffesional!

 

This is a GREAT POST.

 

No he's not. I've have probably seen about a million posts on Tito and I can't remember one off the top of my head that was serious pissed at him for using too much tape. Christ you idiots are in denial. I mean where do you get this **** from? Honestly stop making things up, be a man and face the facts with a critical eye.

Hard things falling out of a guy's wraps? Wraps that were prepared days before the fight? His own manager doesn't deny this. The debate isn't even about whether or not he had something hard in his wraps it was about whether or not he meant it to be there and whether or not it was an illegal substance. Thats a completely different debate then did he use too much tape.

 

Dude, he was probably drunk.

 

Lampley has every right to say something. Its a huge news story and I was thinking the same thing he was about Coto.

Blame Margo for the situation not Lampley for reporting it

 

Frankly I think this is on the producer if it turns out to be false. He is the guy that gave Lamps the go ahead on the story. Thats why I think it is true, whoever runs produces Boxing at HBO isn't risking their job going with a bogus stroy.

Bringing up Cotto was the next logical step I suppose, should he have done it, probably not, focus on the fight at hand.

 

Can somebody give me a credible link from a credible news source that is pointing to the highlighted specifics as fact????

....and dont give me ESB's front page story on it. I've got news for you all, as much as I like to post here at ESB, their front page writers are far from credible.

I'd really like a link from a credible source thats pointing to the facts that happened in that dressing room.

Has anyone heard, read, or seen Nazim Richardson speak on the issue since the controversy?

Where can I get some quotes from Nazim Richardson himself?


You would think if the issue was that serious, established boxing news sources would have been all over it with the innuendos presented here about Margarito's hands already being wrapped before a Mosely representative arrived.....as well telling us about flakes falling all over the place when Margarito was made to take his glove off.

I'm looking at the credible news sources out there and I dont see any stories......where are all you getting your information?

 

Exactly!

I've read many times posters around here refer to him as "Cheato"

 

lampley is a blow-by blow guy. he doesn't think much before running his mouth.
