True story hahaha
why do you think they call him chicken De La Hoya? He was running for six rounds cause he knew he could get K.O.
He was scared of fighting Margarito after he beat Cotto, but he was looking to fight smalller fighters like Pacquiao and just like he wanted to fight Hatton. If it was for him he asked Calderon to step up in weight and fight him.
He said he was in a disadvantage when he fought a bigger guy in Hopkins, but yet smalller guys wouldn't be in disadvantage against him? But he didn't know what he had coming from him when he decided to fight Pacquioa. Who he thought he could knockout.
To be honest he was schooled by De LA Hoya, who a flyweight dominated.....
De La hoya was one of the best fighters back then, but against Tito he had to run for 6 rounds fearing he might get K.O.
Give Manny Pacquioa 6 more years of boxing lets see how well he does.
If it was Cotto the die hard mexican fans would have done the same. What Margarito did was a pretty big deal. P.R. fans are goind hard on antonio Margarito just like he went hard on perhaps all of his opponents. If you know what I mean. Except he helped out his careeer while he perhaps hurt others. Its called an eye for an eye.lol
I had nothing against him, but I didn't like his direspect toward other opponents. I didn't want him to get banned for life, but its hard to say when he could have affected other boxers career with those damaging blows.
Cotto didnt even say no mas, he just knelt/bowed before the superior Tony in awe/fear.
You would bow down before Calderon if he had plaster in his hands.
Those gloves don't look new. They have two stains, a yellow one on the side and a redish one from the palm of his handwrap. The red one could be his blood from using the plaster from paris. You can take a better look from reviewing the fight.
Aside from all the controversy. Cotto has to work the body. Just because Margarito face is always wide open he shouldn't go to the face. At the beginning of the fight between Margarito and Mosley, Mosley hit Margarito with two body shots that marked Margarito. You can tell the marks by looking at the fight during the first round.
I completely understand what you're saying, but it doesn't hold any weight. If we go with your theory than we can say this was mosley's biggest chance of getting ko'd and since he's used steroids before why wouldn't he use them now that he's older and against his biggest opponent yet? Certainly if he felt he needed them in his prime, he would need them now right? So If your going to assume margarito used these in alot of fights then you have to assume mosley was on steroids too then right? You can hold your logic for one guy than refuse to use it for another guy.
Sad news for margarito, Not a big big fan of his but am a fan. I always root for guys that come from backgrounds like the one he has. He should be suspended it has tarnished his image. He was on top of the boxing world! It took him so long to get there and hit many bumps on the road and it has been tarnished it seems like.
There's really no point to talk about the use of this in any other fight since it can't be proven and the NSAC signed off on the wrappings and have already stated again that they were legal. And the NSAC is 100 x's more strict than any other state when it comes to sports. Nevada is the gambling capital of the world and if it was found that an official cheater to favor a fighter, then he's looking at years of jail time and several charges thrown at him. If you **** around in vegas with this type of shit as an office your life is over. Too much money involved in the casinos, so I firmly believe there was no wrong doing in the cotto fight.
Refering to Shane Mosley steroid use, its not the same as plaster. Steroids can be tracked not only before a fight, but some time after you used it. It stays in your blood. but coming up with a special handwrap which you only use during some fights can be a easier way to get away with especially when they employed a different technic.
Concerning the Cotto vs Margarito Vegas fight- For the same question, same answers:
Sure and they would have said he never used them in California if he didn't get caught.
I dont care if its the las Vegas Nevada. They never would admit having made a mistake. As long as theres no prove of it, they can denied it. Why would they admit of making a mistake when theres no prove to it? Better for them they can claim to be superior to California athletic commision.
I'm certain he cheated in the Cotto fight. You can tell when people are scare.
Why would Antonio margarito choose to use a plaster handwrap against Shane Mosley when he beat Miguel Cotto the guy that beat Mosley? Easy answer he cheated before and needed to cheat again.
I dont care a damn what the nevada athletic commision said. They're protecting their ass because they didn't get caught. If it wasn't for Nazir Richardson the California athletic commision would have claim the same, that there was no wrong doing. If it wasn't for Nazir Richardson in the Trinidad vs Hopkins fight they wouldn't have seen anything wrong either, except that in that occasion it wasn't plaster. So it if happen in California and happen in New York it could have happen in Nevada, but Nazir Richardson wasn't there. First time? ha, Thats a load of crap.
Plus, how would anyone believe that Nevada would admit it when Cotto was the favor to win and lost the fight? You dont understand? How many people would have gotten ripped off their money if they admitted that Antonio Margarito cheated? Dont you know the amount of problems that bring to the Las Vegas athletic committee? Thousand of people would be claiming their money. But some of you that dont want to know the truth just go on and rant its all clear they gave their word.
I'm sure if you were the employee you wouldn't be admitting you could have made a mistake,especially when that was something that went on six months ago.
Thats bullshit and you all know it. Thats the way things work, everyone is protecting their butts including Margarito and he scare pair of trainers. I've bet they wet their pants if an investication took place against them asking them some questions.
How many times have boxers cheated, baseball players and even referees And you only hear the truth after time?. This is boxing the dirtiest sport of them all where the judges sell out all the time. They just dont sell out on their own, theres someone always behind it.
Now I dont have anything against mexicans. I respect many of them. Some friends always ask me why I dont go in favor of my country men. But I dont follow just the athlete, but the person behind the athlete. Now if they're two jerks going add it than I might favor my fellow country man.
But I like the truth to be known and I dont need a bunch of corrputed people to let me know the truth (Nevada athletich committee). All you have to do is take the blind fold of your face and just be real to see the truth. But you know how the saying goes: The truth hurts and so do loaded gloves that makes a boxer retreat instead of going foward.
Theres also another saying in Las Vegas(Nevada) what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and they're still making true to that statement.
