    An Advantage...

    He said regardless if they had plaster or whatever on the its "illegal"

    - said it wouldnt have made a difference because he barely got hit..
    - said that they shouldnt do anything to margarito... said his trainer should receive the brunt of the punishment
    - said he gets tested all the time and you can test him whenever you want to prove he is clean.... "live clean, fight clean and its just not me... i got tricked before but it wont ever happen again"
    - would like to fight mayweather if hes willing to come out of retirement... cotto if he would like a rematch, pacman, hatton
    - if he could pick someone... he would choose whoever he would recieve the most money for .. either pacman or floyd...

    i didnt type up the ohter 1/4th of the interview tho

    Wow!!!!
    Thanks for the post.....Nazim had a very compelling testimony as well.
    I think Capetillo will take the fall for this if Arum doesn't bail them out.

    Regardless of his opinion, Margo knew what was being taped on his hands and deserves to be punished.

    wasn't there a thread on here post fight where Mosley said Margarito "has great power and stunned me several times"

    yet in Mosley's interview on ESPN he says Marg's illegally wrapped hands wouldn't have made a difference since he didn't get hit with anything anyway

    interesting parallel between the 2 Mosley quotes.

    I agree. He should be banned and pay a big fine, or "Mo Mail".

    Naturally, Mosley would want to downplay the knowledge a fighter has about what's going in, and make it look like the fighter might just be duped into doing something dirty.

    word thats what i dont get.... its not like margo puts on a blindfold and gets taped up.... iknow if i was a boxer i wouldnt want my trainer putting some illegal **** on my hands.. id want to win fair and square

    yeaah yeah... he said that during the post fight conference...

    i think he just means that even tho he got hit & got buzzed ( what he said during the post fight conference) ... he didnt get hit accumlative enough for the hits to really matter (what he said about 15 minutes ago)...

    Mosley is just playing this up....trying to give himself a lot of credit
    for having a tough chin....
    He should let the fans and the experts give the accolades.

    True, since that was his excuse for using performance enhancers. It wouldn't look good on him to be all self-righteous and claim Margo knew when he swore that he didn't know what he was doing was illegal as well. Plus he's probably happy with the result of the fight and is considered a nice guy which is how a lot of people saw Margarito before this fiasco.

    nah its not even that... the person interviewing him was asking him the question about the loaded gloves in reference to cotto.. and he said it the glove thing bothered cotto way more than it "WOULD HAVE" bothered him because cotto took a lot of damage.. in comparison to shane who really didnt get hit that much

    If we assume that it was the first time Capetillo used it then it's possible Margo did not notice since the substance was not supposed to harden until late in the fight. It would have just looked like regular gauze to Margarito. He didn't object to rewrapping nor was nervous from all accounts. It was only his trainer that was sweating a bucket when forced to rewrap.

    It just doesn't seem within Margarito's character to cheat in that manner. According to some sources Margarito was really heavy coming into camp and spent most of the time getting down to weight. It's possible that his trainer did it to give him an edge without his knowledge.

    Yeah, it looks bad. Their camp's excuse of "we prepared the gauze 2 weeks in advance and it got hard from the humidity" is suspect, to say the least. Hopefully this gets cleared up in a conclusive manner. The CSAC hasn't released what the substance was. How long does it take to test it?

    Probably much shorter than it is for the CSAC to think of ways to cover its ass.

    I used to be more of one, in the early to mid 90s, but I'm poor at keeping up with more recent music in general. I have a few of his older songs on my I-Pod: Mo Mail, Welcome to the Ghetto, Jealous Got Me Strapped, guest appearances like Dusted N Disgusted, Gangsta Team. I have Born 2 Die somewhere in my collection. I gotta add that one sometime soon.

    well yeah Mosley as he said in the interview .. but you can check compubox stats as well

    clearly didn't get close to hit as many times as Miguel Cotto did .. so even if Mos was stunned it probably didn't get to him a great deal. (didn't look to slow him down)

    **beyond the hand wrap issues, I have to wonder physically how Margarito can come back and just how much the kayo loss took out of him.
