I Think Margarito Took a Dive!

I just spoke to my sister's boyfriend who works for the Justice Department in California. He said that they are in the preliminary stages of forming a commitee to investigate the Margarito v. Mosley fight. Apparently, an overwhelming amount of the pre-fight action was put on Mosley. He said that these 'smart money' wagers are common, although two factors have piqued the Justice Department's interest.
First, the amount of the wagers placed on Mosley was in great dispaity to the number of them. He said when alot of small wagers are made immediately prior to the fight they can be more easily dismissed as 'smart money' than a handful of very large ones. On Saturday, six separate Las Vegas casinos took wagers on Mosley at approximately 7:26 PST (right before the fight) totaling more than two million dollars.
Second, the FBI in Southern California has been investigating for some time the Arellano Drug Cartel's dealings with a number of athletic events, including boxing. The Arellano family has apparently kidnapped and held at ransom the wife or children of certain fighters in an effort to get that fighter to fix the fight. A former member of Margarito's management named Roberto Ramos is currently under investigation for being associated with the Arellano cartel.
Is it possible that Margarito threw the fight? I'm sure we'll being hearing more about this.Comment

Look dude no excuses margarito was out done in the ring on saturday he did not take a dive! Second you said they made bets at 745 pm that's right before the fight, betting for fights shut down WAAAY before the main event. Second you mentioned the Arellano drug cartel based out of Tijuana. You do know all but one of these guys are dead right? and the brother alive just got released form USA prison not too long ago and is not a main factor in the drug cartel business anymore and would not have much pull anywhere especially in the united states where he just spent like 15 years in jail.
This thread is ***en ******ed.
Give mosley his credit! It's a shame that such a great fight by shane is being clouded by all this controversy!Comment

the brother isn't doing ****. He hasn't been around for 15 years. His family has been killed, most guys he knew 15 years are now probably dead. All he has is the last name. He can try to get going again but he's so behind in these drug wars he'd get killed before he makes any moves. Plus he certainly doesn't have a following or connections in vegas or california lol. Drug cartels don't **** with ******** on sports that's chump change for them. Margarito lost plain and simple!Last edited by ANDROID_DOES; 01-29-2009, 10:03 PM.Comment
