Insider Notebook: Cotto-Margarito Revisited;

[vrodz]

there was no Hardened plaster found it was just traces of the chemicals that make up Plaster. All those same elements can be found in Gauze. Mosley and his camp just wanted to **** with Marg to throw him off his game. The whole thing got blown out of proportion. That why Mosley starting laughing when they asked what the gameplan was. If they found plaster the first time why did they make Margarito rewrap his hands 3 times? Why? because this way Marg was busy wrapping his hand while Mosley was warming up. Look how dry Marg was when he first came out. Marg is a victim of the politics in boxing. Someone wanted him out of the way for a while and I would'nt doubt if it was Arum himself.

Who the **** wants to see Victor Ortiz. They're hyping his return like he was some great champion.

WTF, you cannot be serious!?

how is it freddie roach can cut someone off and get touchy and say "why can't it be that Manny had a good night?" well its because Freddie pre-established he wasn't ever having a good night with his constant pre-fight declaration that Oscar "can't pull the trigger anymore". He forgot that? all that did was set up disputes about the quality of opposition his fighter was gonna face once the fight was done. Does everyone forget that?

bull****;why would people that sparred with him say that his punches were like nothing else,,why hasn't he ever hurt someother person so bad!!!!!yet him not doing so in the past, he does it to one of worlds champions,,he is a ***** that knew without it he ain't ****!in a break his trainer says "don't overtrust"meaning what? look at pictures of after the bell in margarito's hands you see a dark colored substance which is?????????????

Only morons believe that Margarito cheated when he fought Cotto. Margarito won fair and square and with the alleged hand wraps it's really nothing but plain bull****.

Cotto nuthuggers needs to stop dwelling on fiction.

Your are such an idiot. Your probably a burrito eating ****** thats a Margacheato nuthugger or just a plain hater. If you bothered to read this article carefully, you would notice when Bob Arum tells the reporter that if it wasn't for Nazeem Richarson (Mosley's trainer), the California Athletic commission would of approved his wraps.

The same thing probably happened during Cotto's fight. Those wraps were already prepared with plaster in them. They are inserts and then you wrap them around the fist. The inspector has to actually have them in their hands and physically inspect them in order to find out if they have plaster or not. You cannot just tell from looking at them. Nazeem Richardson had a hunch cause he saw that something was off and he is an expert at this. Those Athletic Commission guys don't have a clue as to how the wraps are supposed to look like. If it was up to them, Margacheato would of fought with those wraps during the Mosley fight.

One of the most common human defects is complacency. It happens everywhere, everyday.

People get so used to repetitiveness, that they stop paying attention and just assume. I see it at my workplace every day. After time people just start going through the motions.

That defect is what almost enabled Margarito to cheat against Mosley, and very well could have altered the Cotto fight.

It would also be normal for the Nevada commission to cover their a$$e$. In fact it is to be expected. They see hands being wrapped multiple times every week, every month, every year without incident. Suddenly they stop watching and just assume. That behavior is what opened the door for Margarito and his trainer to attempt something bad in California.

That does not change the fact that every minute of every day, some bozo is not doing their job. People or Property can get damaged or destroyed as a result.

Complacency helped 9/11 happen. It helped those Pilots last week play on their laptops too long. It causes a customer to get the wrong order at Mcdonalds, BK or Wendy's. Fighters lose their 0's. Trainers show up late. You can go on forever.

Never looked at it that way you make a lot of good points.

Unless Margarito or his team admit to using illegal wraps against cotto we will never know the truth. After Margarito fought cotto he did his interview with wraps still on and had them on for a while. If he truely was hiding something he should have taken the wraps of right away, but it will b hard to prove unless we get a confession from Margarito.

you cant make these fools see that! ive been saying that for months now

[Punker]

If the people at the California commision thought nothing was wrong with the wraps and were ready to approved them, I'm sure it happened the same way with the Nevada comission. From the photos of the wraps confiscated the pads look normal but it took a chemical analysis to detect the plaster. So I'm sure they fooled everyboy except ****m.

nice work.I am not telling you what to do but if Cotto had his tattoos,that would prob blow peoples minds...Great work on those..

[mellow_mood]

The inspector obviously doesn't know how to do their ****ing jobs since Mosley's trainer did their job for them.

What? I thought that they found some sort of knuckle pad
and it was hardened with a plaster like substance on it? If it
wasn't anything to get disturbed about how come they suspended
him? Mosley would have beat Margarito either way, hot or cold
because Mosley and Richardson had a game plan to expose Margarito
and neutralize his pressure by tying him up, getting to the body and
sitting on his punches. Totally the opposite of what Cotto did.

I'm not denying the fact that Mosley would've won but all of that was done to add abit of an advantage. Mosley could'nt come out later and say Oh sorry we just did this to throw Antonio off sorry for the misunderstanding. Freddy Roach said himself that something funny went down there.
