Margoritos trainer banned!!

Does it really make a difference...

Not as if, Margo had steel knuckle dusters on.

 

Play dough would actually make more sense. Some people on these boards actually believe that the man went into battle with a plaster cast in his glove, the idea is so moronic its ****ing laughable. If that was the case the first shot that he threw would be career ending for both the recipient and the person who threw it, his hand would be completely shattered.

I agree, but I suspect that this practice is much more widespread than people imagine, I find it telling that we haven't had an endless stream of fighters condemning Margaritos actions. Guilt perhaps? If you ban him then you have to ban all those who try to gain advantage by illegal means, and that would mean the man who AM was sharing a ring with the other night.

 

have you heard what margo sparring partners said about him in the buildup to mosley fight?

have you seen Nazim Richardsons version of events.....

Margo is guilty of very heinous crime

 

You mean the CSAC inspector is incompetent? Well, yes, I guess he should've seen it - but to be fair to the guy, it's not easy inspecting handwraps after you've been dead for over 40 years. (check his name)

Apart from that, looks like Margo's banned for at least a year - which seems like a fair judgement to me if it holds up on appeal. Even then, he might still be welcome in Mexico, but hopefully the fact that he was found guilty of loading his gloves will mean he'll get shunned by the big names in boxing for the rest of his career.

what diid the sparring partners say

 

Sounds like we may be in that gray area in between loaded gloves and illegal wrapping material. Both are obviously against the rules but it certainly doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as the headlines would have you believe.

 

"CSAC Inspector Che Guevara"

Career change?

 

Margorito is scum and should be banned from the sport and jailed.

I am sickened that I used to laud this guys bravery in the ring and had respect for him....

 

He does seem like a dishonourable greaseball with hindsight.
Someone who'd happily con' you to your face
All the time I was wowed by his destructive power and iron chin and watched a few fights of his.
The Cotto fight four times...
Just ****.

 

Are you serious?

 

I read a quote of one saying he had been punched 50 million times, but he never felt the hurt like how he did with Margarito in sparring....his punches felt extra hard..... it is also reported that the same sparring partner broke his cheekbone and the doctor told him he may not be able to fight again..... This was the sparring before the mosley fight..... there must be an article somewhere online that should source these quotes..... try searching ggogle for "margarito Sparring mosley" perhaps...

 

Why would Margarito use "loaded gloves" (I hate that term) in sparring??....I wonder if he is going to put a claim in against AM, I bet he does. Been hit 50 million times, I would have thought that the world WW champion could afford better sparring than that :-(
