You ****ers didn't see the full video or don't speak spanish. Spanish is my first language, and Marg was asked what he thought about Roach's comment, Marg clearly responded back, "Oh, I'm so scaaaared" with trembling voice and hands as if he was shaking. Marg apologized at the press conference and told exactly what had happened in the video. He never said, " I didn't know he had Parkinsons." Like a lot of you ****ers are saying. Now, Brandon and Garcia did go over board, and what they did was wrong, but Marg is telling the truth. In fact, it is more disturbing how the facts get twisted and **** spirals out of control. I challenge spanish speakers to find the full video and dispute this.
i speak spanish as well and thought he was just saying scared but the tilting of the head and twisting his face doesnt help his case
i watched the video before it got famous because i subscribed to esnews and i didnt expect it to get people mad or whatever.
i don't believe he's completely innocent. tell yourself he didn't at the slightest touch on roach's illness in that mockery. i'm not offended albeit i did not find it funny. i'm just saying, if they have the guts to make fun of roach's condition, they might as well stick with it and don't start washing their hands in public when some people start to react negatively.
Thank you brother for clearing this out. As a person who speaks spanish and saw what happened I think people are overexagerating on Margos behalf. Margarito basically acted as if he was scarred and Brandon on the other hand did a impersination of Roach. Although Roach deserves some of his own medicine, I dont think his condition is funny man.
:good It is amazing to see such little things get blown out of proportion. It was just on espn, ****, even my local newspaper had a piece on it. As you said, Roach isn't necessarily a saint, but I didn't really like Brandons joke. As for Marg? He didn't do jack.
Sounds like something lost in translation has been jumped on by a load of do gooders.Has Freddie Roach complained?
I felt the same way, was a bit surprised at the anger over this...Sure, it was poor taste, but people are acting like boxing is "kumbaya" before fights...
Im not saying its cool to go around making fun of ppl with serious conditions, but I know I laughed. Hell, you can't do **** anymore without offending or pissing SOMEBODY off. So if I was Margarito my attitude would be like "**** it". With all this negative attention he's getting nowadays, if he basked in this bad guy role a la' Mayweather he'd probably be a bigger draw lol. Good news, bad news, its all news.
