Insider Notebook: Cotto-Margarito Revisited;

[TOBYLEE1]

This is like beating on a dead horse, the horse has been dead and people are still kicking it. Let Margo fight his way back(IMO he is done), and if he looks good against good opposition its only natural that these two guys meet again. Cotroversy sells and so would this fight

[EL ANIMAL]

regardless of what happened that night.



Margarito is done!

With margaritos style of fighting, taking all that punishment, especially the punishment from the cotto and mosley fights.

Put a fork in him, he's done.

this remains to be seen!

Sure Margacheta is a gentlemen, that’s why he was found to have plaster in his gloves previous Mosley fight. But I guess some idiot want to say that was the first time Margacheta trainer was putting plaster just to enhance little bit the power of Margacheta. Only ******ed and idiots people will believe that Margacheta never used illegal gloves in any of the previous fights. I am glad Margacheta was suspended. What happened with the comment Margacheta said about his lawyers were working to reverse the decision? Probably the lawyers and the California Boxing Commission took a long vacation, that’s why did not decided on time and Margacheta still suspended.

So this is why Cotto fired his uncle? So that fight they had alot to do with this.

Its unfortunate none of us will truly know what happened. We can glue the peices together,dig for info, talk and discuss it, use common sense, argue back and forth and still be where we started. Nowhere ! In my opinion Richardson has the key to many of the answers we seek. He's been in the buisness for more than 2 dimes. He may not be able to answer questions about the Cotto fight but he can certainly shed the spot light on the Mosley fight and possibly others. Are illegal wraps a common occurance in boxing ? Is this why he has the knack for uncovering them ? To me his answers have been vague at best. Well lets just sweep it under the rug and move on to the buisness at hand. Making more money !

Cotto's face may have been lumped up but boxings face will always be disfigured if changes aren't made. p.s. If you buy it you own it!!!

Evangelista himself said he wasn't back there..or if anything I think he said he got back there late if I remember correctly...

Like Arum said..If Margarito was loaded for Mosley, why wouldn't he load up for Cotto?..it's not proof..but it's not far-fetched..that's common sense..you load up as the 4-1 favorite but go in clean and cheat-free as the 2-1 underdog in a headlining PPV, and the BIGGEST stage of your career?..all you basically need is for Capetillo or Margarito to man up and admit it..I'm sure there would be nobody surprised if they did up and say it..but the fact that they can be charged for assault is what's keeping their mouths shut!..

Evangelista said he was there and he saw nothing wrong. Look back at the archives and you might find it.

I'm not rican, I'm just not a moron since we know people in this sport like refs, inspectors never do their job correctly. Trinidad got away with doing some extra wrapping to his hand-wraps because the boxing commission every state ****** at doing their jobs.

Don't talk about Trinidad like that or the Puerto Ricans might start getting mad at you. Or they may start calling you a Margarito nuthugger. LOL. j/k

[aztecadq]

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.

Point well taken. If Margarito was hiding something he would have taken the wraps off and had them disposed of quickly. Either he didn't cheat or he had some real balls of no fear of being caught. Either way Innocent until proven guilty.

[aztecadq]

Illegal Wraps or no wraps, Margarito style is still all wrong for Cotto.

Right on kid. In this lifetime and the next. Margarito beats Cotto any day of the week.

[TOMA BOXIMG]

The bottom line is that margarito got cought trying to cheat! And as a fan of boxing i think margarito should just go away! There needs to be an example made!
