Yo Dan! Any truth to the rumor on Cotto vs MArgoII being in Jeopardy of happening??
Dan Rafael (12:53 PM)
There is a hearing in NYC (no unexpected) next week to hear from Margarito's eye doctor to see if they will license him based on his eye injury. The hearing has nothing to do with the previous wrapping scandal. My instinct tells me it is a dog and pony show because I seriously doubt Arum would bring the show there, spend what he has already spent on the promotion, put tix on sale, etc... if he did not have certain assurances from the commission that this was a rubber stamp. But who knows? Anything could happen.

If he gets cleared Margarito fans will have no excuse if Cotto beats him.
This is why you stop one-sided beatdowns and forget all of that "Proud Mexican" nonsense. Margarito's career and health was in severe jeopardy. I love Garcia as a trainer, but he really f***** up in that fight.
How hilarious and embarrassing for Margo when he gets KTFO by a guy with one eye closed.
Fixed for you bud. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/mysmiliesvb/mysmilie_918.gif
he's got a lazy eye....his eye muscle was lodged inside the fracture of his orbital bone but i think he will be cleared. the fracture has healed but his eye movement will never be the same again
I share Rafael's doubt on this. Arum is too proficient to not have assurances before putting the fight in NY. He would have easily moved the fight to AC, if the NY commission didn't already give him the green.
