I have a question for you. Why would Capetillo load the gloves for a stay-busy fight with a past-it Mosley (this is what most believed at the time) and not load the gloves for a fight with unbeaten champion Cotto who was a heavy favourite? We can't prove that the wraps had been tampered with other than in the Mosley fight, but it makes logical sense that Margarito had used them on other occasions. My personal belief is that he has been using loaded gloves for the Cotto fight and before. I have no evidence that this is the case, but why would he risk his career by loading gloves against Mosley if he had not already used them before? Now, I'm not completely anti-Margarito, I don't object to him fighting again, as long as he has an eye kept on him. But I refuse to give him credit for beating Cotto or Cintron, as I believe that he (and his trainer) were knowingly cheating.
Antonio Margarito was extremely hated before the Mosley fight. It's no wonder that after the Mosley fight he is still very hated, but known cheaters with REAL suspensions that came after analisys such as Mosley, Toney, Roy Jones are given a pass.
I am so sorry . . . I change my mind . . . let tony fight! He is the victim after all, forget the fact he was found guilty by the boxing commission for attempting to load his gloves. The boxing commission has absolutely no jurisdiction over boxing. Besides Tony has successfully sued his manager for damages for loading his gloves without his knowledge. Besides, Tony is new to the fight game and would have no idea if his gloves were loaded. I really have no idea what I was thinking before
Mosley, a stay busy fight :rofl. The difference between Mosley and Cotto were that Cotto was a KO waiting to happen and everyone knew that, and Mosley was a tough mother****er who had never been KO.
Are you aware that Margarito was suspended for having foreign substance, not for plaster. Foreign substance is ANYTHING that is not tape or gauze. Did you also know that Margarito was suspended before the lab results came back. Think about how corrupt that looks. And to top it off, by the very disfunctional CSAC.
do you need lab results to tell you a gun is a gun? if it is hard and in his glove it will do damage . . . man such stupid crap!
Well, lets see... The Fighter *hires* the trainer to wrap his hands. You mean to tell me Margarito didn't know what the **** going on? Yeah, well - if you believe that then I got some nice beach front property in Haiti for sell....
Bigbone...it's not like Margo was looking at the ceiling when his trainer was wrapping! Neither is he blind to see a difference. However, in such a situation what were Margo to say if he saw something new? ''Hey what is that trainer?'', ''o just something that makes the wrap a little better Tony'', ''oh ok''. They are both to blame but his trainer obviously even more imo. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5AZQJKw1Z8&NR=1[/ame]
He is guilty of being Mexican. Thats about it. If this was an American fighter you think the public would turn on him this bad. Nah
The plaster like substance was found inside a used knuckle pad. That's why Margo never saw anything. The **** was even hidden from him, only Capetillo knew.
BUT HE WASN'T FOUND GUILTY! THERE'S NO EVIDENCE AGAINST ANTONIO MARGARITO, HE GOT SUSPENDED BECAUSE OF HIS TRAINER ATTEMPTED TO CHEAT, AND THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR THE MEDIA AND YOU TO JUDGE HIM GUILTY AND HIS WHOLE CAREER! At no point the Commission (which can only block Margarito's licence in the state, that's where it's authority ends, it's not a legal entity) stated Margarito is guilty of knowing Capetillo's attempted cheat. Antonio Margarito wasn't punished because there was evidence against him, there wasn't, he was punished because his trainer tried to load his gloves, but that'd hardly good enough to make Margarito guilty before the court. His case never was brought to court, the Commission decided on it own authority (trainer found guilty, so Margarito is suspended too), and here comes the magic: the MEDIA judged him and his whole career guilty, and the writers and now the fans rave about Margocheato, banishment for life etc, even if the Commission itself never even said Margarito knew about Capetillo's tricks. They never even said they THINK Capetillo might've loaded gloves in the past nor they had evidence of course, but the media and the community's judgement is out there: you guys don't need evidence! Western justice at stake: FAIL! It's like back in the McCarthy era when you only had to be SUSPECTED of being involved with something nasty (like your wife/friend/boss/brother 20 years ago attended a commie meeting) the hearing, purposefully before the media, ruled you a bad dude, therefore you got punished: lost your job and you became an exile by society - without found guilty! This is an excellent topic in March 2010 to check where's the 21th century's, the internet era's average man, YOUR sense of justice at, the strength of media influence and sense of proper judgement. If I were innocently brought to court and you were my jury, I'd **** myself.
Put the crack pipe down and get real. You honestly think he had no idea that his gloves were loaded. You are living in dream world. Just watch his the u tube video of him trying to explain. He wears sunglasses up until the point where he stops lying. That alone was enough evidence for me, He deserves to never box again.
Everyone knew that? I must of been taken a crap when everyone got the knews. Marg was as white as a ghost in the Mosley fight. He looked guilty, I mean nervous. Whatever gameplan he had was thrown out the window when he and his corner got caught. I am amazed that they let the fight go on. The best fight in a long time for Mosley or did he just beat the hell out of a guy who mind was somewhere else (Oh ****, I might go to prison for this).
