WTF, do folks expect the Las Vegas commission to say?


It would be just as ****** if you had your trainer load your gloves before a championship fight~

This is getting worst and worst for Margarito. I think he just ****ed his entire life with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its getting worst and worst

The only thing Margarito can do now is Beat Cotto without the "loaded" Gloves... If he cannot he should retire, because his legacy is done.

vindication is almost here for cotto's wreckage.

Even if they prove that he was guilty this time, that won't prove he did the same vs. Cotto or anyone else. It will make all those fight results highly questionable, but it won't prove that he was guilty in those previous fights. So it wouldn't vindicate Cotto, but it would destroy Margarito's credibility. Plus he would probably have his licence suspended. I certainly hope he would.

Also, as others have said, even in the case of the Mosley fight, he is innocent until proven guilty, and people should wait until the investigation is complete before declaring him guilty.

I think alot of fighters will come out the wod work who Tony has beat or put a beaten on. When Felix Trinidad was quizzed for illegal hand wraps allagations, Fernando Vargas and William Joppy come out and said there must be something in them gloves becasue they have never been hit or felt power like when Tito hit them.

And yet, despite all that, Trinidad is still considered a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame. I think that's appalling.

i expected this anways i think the best way for antonio margarito to fully redeem himself from the hand wraps thing is to fight joshua clottey again and beat him along with the miguel cotto rematch and eventually fight shane mosley again in the coming year or two

If he is found guilty of using plaster, no way should he be allowed to redeem himself. At the very least his licence should be suspended for several years.

Because unlike Margacheato his wraps were clean no plaster, no inserts just gauze and tape. Just because someone didn't like they way they were wrapping his hands, doesn't make them illegal.

Wonder what Clottey has to say about this

you have the best quote ever on your sig about Mike Tyson lol

[Dave Rado]

But hoping for a scandal like this to be true doesn't really say much about your love of this sport.

Exactly ....

The funny thing is that Nasim Richardson is saying the same thing happened with Trinidad before the Hopkins fight:

“Same thing with Tito’s hands,’’ said Richardson, then Hopkins’ trainer. “This plastic-like substance fell out from behind the gauze on Tito’s hands.

There was never any investigation on Trinidad, and I haven't seen doubt being cast on any of his victories. I find it odd that Nasim is the only one finding this "plastic substance" in the opponents wraps before big fights.

The matter is still being investigated, we'll see what happens. If the Marg camp is found guilty of wrongdoing, they should all be banned. But until then
I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
