There may have been a little greed in there regarding the split between Hopkins and Bouie. I recall Manny Steward stating that he fully supported Hopkins on the matter, when it was revealed how much he was paying Fisher. It was significantly... like five times more than what Steward stated he was paid by Wlad in a similar time frame. As far as Margarito. Margarito boiled his own egg. Brother Nazim didn't put the object in his wraps. Why are you angry at Brother Nazim for blowing the whistle?
The point is there never was any plaster in that wrap. That POS Richardson claimed he saw PLASTER BLOCKS fall out of the Wrap that started the whole affair Where are those BLOCKS ????? All they found in the wrap was a used damp gauze pad accidently put in instead of anew pad It was deemed HARMLESS by the lab that tested it
known Tony Margarito since 1999 Knew Ike since he came to Texas from Nigeria Both were frends of mine you only know the media angle
That was very unMuslim of Hopkins If he wanted to change trainers, change them. Don't throw shade at Brother Nazim like he seemed to do.[/QUOTE] Brother Bernards choice of religion does not necessarily make him a decent man,
**** I'm not even sure, wasn't even thinking 20 years back. Damn that man had long career, just looked it up and damned if he didn't. 7th round.
Tape and gauze can be in the wraps. Wet materials can't. Chemical analysis of the object didn't show it was harmless.
Sometimes people should stay humble. He should have never threw shade Nazim's way. That talk about him being in diapers after his stroke was uncalled for, and had no bearing on Nazim in the current. He should have just said, he decided to pick a different trainer and left it at that.
Ok but it did . All they found on that wrap was a used gauze pad which was damp When the lab tested it admittedly the Microscopic testing revealed TRACE ELEMENTS of sulphur & calcium which in far larger quantities are indeed ingredients of plaster BUT They are also ingredients of HUMAN SWEAT!!! All Antonio did wrong was SWEAT!!! Anyway why wasn't Nazim called on the PLASTER BLOCKS he claimed fell from the wraps, because that was a blatant LIE!!!!!!!! & it ruined a good fighters career. Nazim was the one should have been banned in my opinion
