Mosley: "Margarito Had Me Stunned A Few Times, He Has Great Power"

Completely true. If Cotto would have done this in his fight like Shane had, we might had seen a different result.

 

well im saying Mosley didn't feel the power as much as say Miguel Cotto since he wasn't hit as many times

and why is it so "telling" that Mosley's saying Margarito has power?

you'd have a hard time trying to convince people on the board here that Margarito is feather fisted.

so yes Mosley confirms Marg hits hard and certainly has power, so if Margarito were to use the Plaster of Paris (hypothetically) imagine how much harder Tony could crack.

**and if the LATIMES article I read on the topic, that mentioned a plaster of Paris like substance being found in the hand wraps, that actually had hard flakes coming off it.

I would imagine the substance would not only protect the fighters hands, but make them able to punch with more power (think like how a cast would protect you from damage)

still though I wonder if there's a way to find out if Marg's ever done the "loaded gloves" in previous fights.

 

Well, there are three immediate possibilities that spring to mind: If he's done it before, each and every observer sent in to watch the wraps being applied by his opponent's camp has been either: A) Extraordinarly unknowledgeable about the process and therefore should never work in boxing again. B) In on it with Margarito and his team. C) It has not happened prior to now.

I'm inclined to think C is the most realistic at this stage.

 

Good posts these. I don't like the way most in here have jumped on "brick gloves" as being factual before the facts are even known.

 

Mosley said that Margarito has some power? He has to say something to tell fans he was in a fight. He is very kind of other fighters. Cotto's face is proof of some serious power or alleged loaded gloves. Even when mention about the alleged loaded gloves to Mosley and his answer is that it must be some type of misunderstanding. I believe he wants to go down as the man who beat and knocked out the fearless fighter who beat Cotto and others not the fighter that was a alleged cheat. Beyond belief, Cotto took a serious ass whopping and was possibly thinking "what the **** else do I have to do to beat this guy". We will know in the rematch if Margarito does not get suspended if he is found guilty of loaded gloves. What makes anyone think that he did not use loaded gloves in the past if he got caught in the Mosley fight. This is a fight he was suppose to win by many so why do posters think he would not use something for a fighter that was undefeated and more dangerous at the time?

 

Mosley is the man

 

True,but praising the power of a vanquished opponent is a good way of making you look even more heroic and your victory more impressive.
Its not a humble thing to paint your beaten foe as highly formidable;it makes you look even better......"that guy i just beat?yep,he's a killer"....is a great image to portray.
Not a dig at Shane,just a pointer on fighter psychology.
If i beat a guy,i would want people to view them as King Kong too.

 

Usual here. Lot of morons.

 

Whatever Shane he was punching your face. I am sure he stunned you a tad. But , as I was watching the fight , you only looked physically shaken one time. And even then you decided to suck it up and continue your assault .

You are the better man. Like a few other fighters...

 

Paul Williams too

 

Mosley clinched but stop trying to make it like he pulled a Ruiz or a Holy vs Tyson here, there wasn't much more than what you would get from the average fight, Fraudgarito got destroyed and is simply grasping at straws.

 

Cotto said he would never clinch. This shows he lets his machismo overshadow boxing intellect. And for that he would've always loss.

 

Exactly. He didn't clinch like people are making it seem. In any case he worked out of the clinch.
