...to the real unsung hero behind this whole Margarito scandal. Forget about Cotto, Cintron, Clottey, the CSAC and everyone else. The man is to thank for this entire debacle (and not in a bad way) is Mosley's trainer, Nasim Richardson.
Through his extra-vigilant efforts (to the point of being criticized over it), he basically uncovered what is probably the most despicable scandal this sport has seen in recent memory. Without him, Mosley would've likely become Marg's next victim, and who knows where else it would've gone from there.
Hats off to Nasim Richardson for doing his job in an effort to not only protect his man, but in the bigger uphill battle to regain the purity and integrity of the sport.
It may just be in Marg's nature to like being hit as it is with a lot of fighters. But nearly every time a round ended he'd walk back to his corner with a "this isn't going well" look on his face. To me he just looked like he had something on his mind, and now we all know what that was.
possible but know one knows for sure what margo was thinking about
margo looked pretty confident when he was fighting mosley... he also smiled everytime he got hit. that's not the face of someone who looks discouraged.

Same here, I think Mosley would've won a clear UD anyway as well. But the fact that the wind was taken out of Marg's sails so completely by the discovery of his bricks was IMO what lead to him being throttled the way he was. I think Marg was at a HUGE mental disadvantage after that. You could see it in his face even before the fight started, and throughout the fight he just looked worse and worse as the beating went on.
So regardless of what would've happened, we have only 1 man to thank for bringing down the cheating SOB.
The entire sport of boxing owes Nasim a huge debt of gratitude.

mosley would've destroyed margo anyways.... margo didn't even hit mosley cleanly

Mosley was a force of nature that night

why wasnt the fight halted then?
Because the CSAC confiscated the "pads" that Nasim found in Marg's wraps, then watched as his hands were wrapped legally.
Where have you been for the last 2mo man?? :rofl:
I thought Margarito fought Mosley with the stuff in his handwraps?
No, that's when he was caught by Nasim trying to use the shit right before the fight. He used them in the past by most accounts, though.
