Oh yeah, HBO was pissed beyond belief that Cotto was KO. How about when Lampley was so upset about that grazing blow when Cotto was taking a knee, Lampley almost went on the apron to DQ Margarito himself.
HBO has a product to protect. Margarito is no good to them at this point in time. However, they still have use for people like Cotto and Cintron. They are clearly playing up the handwrap incident in order to make those guys look better. If HBO was all that concerned about exposing cheaters then they would be blasting Shane Mosley. However, he's still of use to them. The explanation by the Commission was flimsy at best. Even Richardson doesn't think that Margo knew anything was wrong as he was more than willing to allow his hands to be rewrapped when Richardson asked. They probably were old handwraps. Regardless, I just think it's hilarious that many are attacking Margo not because they care about cheating but rather because they are looking to make excuses for why their guy got his ass handed to him.
I didn't see any wraps in the exhibit!! They were pads that were had an illegal substance which later was determined by forensics to be , Yes...." Plaster of Paris " Cheating *******!!!!!
Who is talking about Cotto? I thought we were discussing the illegal handwraps with the inserted plaster of paris pads.
That's incorrect. The analysis concluded that trace elements of two substances that are used in plaster were found. No one ever stated how common those elements are in other products that are related to boxing or if the amount found was consistent with the amount found in plaster of paris.
Is Richardson who caught them red handed Puerto Rican ? Is the Commissioner Puerto Rican ? It has nothing to do with race....it has everything to do with character. Margie has none .....cheating *******!!!!
this is a cotto thread foolio... if you learn how to read a bit more, you would have less problems on here :good
:yep http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4020190 This doesnt mean he cheated in the Cotto fight though...There needs to be documented evidence and I doubt anyone will be able to prove so its really a moot point...but Margorito\and(or) his team tried to cheat during the Mosle fight....People are saying that he grabbed the wrong wraps need to seriously think what the hell they're saying.
like i said... those weak ass elements can probably be found in my ****en semen too..... if you're gonna hang and accuse the man of something, atleast be real with us....was it plaster or not......everything leads to "NOT"....so therefore, they were just old ass pads with probably a combination of sweat, hand cream etc etc.....
And for you guys saying that he grabbed the wrong pad...Why are the old pads containing traces of Plaster??:?
