In DEFENSE of Antonio Margarito

[MANGLER]

We need to forget about this ****.

[Libido Sanchez]

You have skills as a writer. This is a very well-written piece.

However, the argument that a dozen (or whatever number) people touched the wraps means what? I'm assuming it's hinting to some sort of foul play on the part of Team Mosley, perhaps?

This is not the OJ case. Even though plenty of people on this forum absolutely hated Marg before the scandal because they didn't like his boxing style, because he beat their favorite fighter, because of his haircut, or simply because he's Mexican, it still seems highly unlikely that he would be framed by another boxing camp. Because isn't that the argument? If so many other people touched the wraps, then they might have put something on them? Or is it something else I'm missing?

One of the few things I can say is that some feel that this case is the same as Lewis/Resto. But in that instance, they took the ****ing padding out the gloves (plus, they confirmed years later of using plaster as well, I believe). Collins, Jr. suffered irrepairable damage to his vision. That truely is a case of having a brick come out of your gloves.

Whereas with Marg, having seen the evidence and read articles, it seems like what he had was not as severe (the gauze was "firm" not as hard as a "rock."). But then I think about it, and it's like saying Marg didn't have a brick, he had a 1/4 brick. OK, let's say he only had a 1/4 brick... that's still seriously ****ed up.

I think the stronger argument at this point is that it has never been proven yet what exactly the substance was. At this point, there's nothing to do but wait for the results of the testing.

But just the fact that they found anything extra in the gloves doesn't look good.

The best article i've read on it so far.

Don't blow your own horn too much mate. Why not just admit that this is your article, and you think you're right and everyone else is wrong, instead of coming on here pretending to be some 'internet loser' or whatever the **** you called the majority of folks on here? Just admit it. It's pretty obvious by the way you write your second response below. The style of writing is exactly the same as the article.

Oh dear.......how sad. Anyway, as someone else said, you're just as bad as the people you're condemning with this article, it just happens that you're on the other side of the fence.

When exactly did Mosley say that he didn't think there was much wrong with the wraps? As far as I know, all he has said is everyone should wait for the hearing. He also said, being the nice guy he is, that maybe it was all a misunderstanding when he was first asked about it.

See, the really funny part is when you say that as you box, you would know that just a wet gauze wrap is what most people use, which means Margarito is just using nothing but a wet gauze hand wrap right? Wrong! Very wrong. There were actual pieces of hardened substance in them. Whether it was plaster ****e or something remains to be seen, but straight wet gauze like you use at you boxing gym is not what is was, so don't BS everyone here mate.

One other thing mate. I can guarantee, you having boxed and all, that you have never been hit by anything like a pre-hardened hand wrap with the glove put over it. Everyone I've heard of, and read about that has been hit by them has damn well known there was something weird about it. Not at all the same feel of a wet gauze wrap, which would happen every session with sweat. I can understand you sticking up for your fighter, as with the name 'El Matador' I'm quite positive you're a big fan. Nonetheless, instead of bagging the ****e out of everyone, much as you just did in your 'article', although on the pretense that it was all high, mighty and righteous in nature, why not just wait for yourself? Capetillo has admitted to using illegal, hardened wraps with his fighter. That in itself deserves the punishment he is getting.

Now, as you should know, having boxed and all, a normal wrap feels like a normal wrap right? A pre-hardened one does not feel right. You could easily, very easily, tell if it was a normal hand wrap. If I didn't know that he was going to use it I would have asked him "What the hell is that you're putting on mate? Feels like a god damned pre-hardened wrap to me! Screw that, I might get busted and then taken to school by old man Mosley".

Im not denying that an infraction occurred just that the punishment has been disproportionate.

But of course its relevant how many people touched them AFTER the fact given that they were wet and there were claims of a substance on them. If the wraps are going to undergo any forensic tests it makes a huge difference to the outcome if they were mishandled in any way.

Best article you read? You wrote it.

It's not relevant how many people handled Margarito's wraps after the situation broke out because Javier Capetillo ADMITTED to everything while trying to take the full blame. Even Arum doesn't deny the wraps were manipulated, he blames the trainer and says Margarito had no part in the caper.

Owned.

Anyway, that last part? About Margarito having no part is such bollocks. No fighter on earth that has been fighting as a pro, especially as long as Marg has, would not realise the difference between a hardened wrap and a normal wrap. Makes me sick!

They're all bad people for pretending this is only Capetillo's doing.

Margarito should be charged with attempted murder, how rediculus this bloggers post it

[larr12]

Let's be real.

What was found in the gloves was illegal substance that is VERY dangerous. You risk a fighter's life doing that. Having these substances is NO JOKE, do you understand? His 1 year ban should been a life-time ban. Nothing's worth more than someone's life, especially if their risking it enough by boxing. Margarito's trainer admitted to it. Margarito is a professional for 15+ years. He knew what was going on in his wraps, so anything saying he didn't is BS too the biggest degree. How anybody supports this guy needs to re-check their morals and values.

this is the main and most import point of everything. for risking another person life both should be ban forever. they tried to risk and hurt in a serious way another person. IMO there's gonna be and should be an * in margarito's carrer.
