Quote: Naazim Richardson: This sport is tough enough. I’ve seen guys get hurt with 18-ounce gloves in training. And this guy is going to fight with 8-ounce gloves with extra shit on them? Quote: Naazim Richardson: My first reaction was I wanted to lean over and crack Margarito’s trainer in the mouth for this dirty shit Man If only richardson trained COtto

well...he said in an interview that every fighter knows what on his wraps. Which is true.

lol, yep, i think is the fans of both margarito and cotto that talk about it. You know cotto has never mentioned anything about margarito "maybe" using plaster. HE said margarito beat him fair. well...he said in an interview that every fighter knows what on his wraps.

Quote: Naazim Richardson: My first reaction was I wanted to lean over and crack Margarito’s trainer in the mouth for this dirty shit Yeah they probably should have checked but just before a big fight it isn't really something that stays on your mind, its something that you just don't think about.

Wow... I don't think that Cotto talk about this anymore.. All the best fighters have lost somewhere in their career for numerous of reasons. Look at Margarito itself people cry over him and has 6 losses. I am a fan of Cotto of even losing to Margarito and that says he's not scared of anyone. Cotto's a warrior don't care if you're 5'11, bigger than him, everyone scare of a fighter. He will just fight anyone and if you believe a defeat is bad, I can clearly call you gayweather. March 31, 1973: I never thought of losing, but now that it's happened, the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.

Deja?? What present boxer you know is perfect in defense/offense?

Nobody found any plaster and Clottey was hitting Cotto with ease. Cotto has defensive issues like a mofo. He does. He has his good points and bad points.

fighters protect their hands even more during training thanks exactly...that's why they use those gloves. but margarito's gonna use block-gauze to train??

because he had old training pads on, which isnt allowed which calls for a suspension seriously man, no bullshit dont you see the HUGE difference between "suspended" and "banned" ? I never said he got banned. Also, not going to knock his win over cotto. Don't know if he used "plasterlike" substance during that fight or other fights.

Ok Cotto has brilliant defense...he is almost impossible to hit. Feel better? He doesn't have brilliant defense, no boxer does. I'm one cotto fan who can knock on cotto's weakness but acknowledge his good points. I do that with every fighter. I see good in floyd, pacman, mosley, etc.

espn.com: The California State Athletic Commission revoked the licenses of former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and trainer Javier Capetillo on Tuesday, banning them for at least one year for tampering with Margarito's hand wraps before he was to face Shane Mosley on Jan. 24 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Voting 7-0 on both motions for revocation, the panel found that they put a plaster-like substance on illegal pads inside Margarito's hand wraps. Prior to the fight, in which Margarito was knocked out in the ninth round, Mosley's trainer, Naazim Richardson, had objected to the way Margarito's left hand was wrapped. When the wrap was cut off, officials found a suspect bandage wrap inside the knuckle pad that would be placed over Margarito's hands. Richardson then insisted that the wrap on Margarito's right hand be checked and another identical illegal pad was discovered. Margarito eventually had his hands rewrapped and went on to lose the fight. The panel rejected Margarito's plea of ignorance -- he told the panel that he just held up his hands to be wrapped -- and Capetillo's insistence that he had simply made a mistake during a hearing that lasted more than five hours in Van Nuys.Che Guevara, the inspector responsible for supervising Margarito's hand wrapping, testified that he had never seen that sort of pad used before, apparently missing it being slipped into the initial wrap before Richardson's objections. Another inspector, Mike Bray, said during questioning that he had seen the pads and that they were "moist and dirty looking with a white substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster." The commission has yet to identify the substance on the pads and said it won't know what it is until testing is completed next month. Capetillo said he accidentally put the wrong inserts into his fighter's hand wraps, reaching for the wrong pads in his equipment bag. "I committed a big mistake," Capetillo told the panel and the standing room-only crowd. "I don't want this young man to have problems. I'm here to cover any responsibility. I take full responsibility. I committed this innocent mistake." The revocations mean that neither Margarito nor Capetillo can participate in boxing in the United States for at least one year. After a year, both can reapply for their licenses in California, where they would have to go through another hearing. There is no guarantee either would be relicensed. "The conduct of both Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo was unacceptable and threatened the health and safety of another licensee," Carrie Lopez, the director of the state's Department of Consumer Affairs, which licenses fighters, told The Associated Press. "Today's action shows that both the Department of Consumer Affairs and the California State Athletic Commission take the issue of boxer safety very seriously, and will move quickly when a licensee's actions threaten the safety of others." The punishment extends throughout the nation because commissions generally honor suspensions and revocations in other jurisdictions

i think the right term is "cast-like block made of gauze". sure...he's gonna train with that...wonder why fighters use 18oz gloves in their training? thanks... fighters protect their hands even more during training thanks

because he had old training pads on, which isnt allowed which calls for a suspension seriously man, no bullshit dont you see the HUGE difference between "suspended" and "banned" ? i think the right term is "cast-like block made of gauze". sure...he's gonna train with that...wonder why fighters use 18oz gloves in their training? thanks...

They should have checked Cotto's defense.. Oh that's right. He doesn't have a defense. agreed...that's why he only have 1 defeat....against plaster that's not margarito's fault agreed Imagine if Naazim had NOT noticed the wraps, how much longer the fraud would've kept going . Every boxer/trainer should be thanking naazim. Did Naazim do anything wrong?? nope and margarito was double owned that night.

lol..so why was he INDEED suspended?? because he had old training pads on, which isnt allowed which calls for a suspension seriously man, no bullshit dont you see the HUGE difference between "suspended" and "banned" ?

this is where you need to be straightened out if the wraps were "wrapped in plaster" he would be banned for life. it's very simple to understand in no way shape or form would any amount of money or any lawyer get you out of that mess if the CSAC indeed found plaster. the only thing they found were traces of elements found in numerous things lol..so why was he INDEED suspended??
