Insider Notebook: Cotto-Margarito Revisited;

[deanrw]

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.

jay nady was there!!!....every trainer has to inspect or a member from the team lookin over.... i wonder wat eva cottos answer would of been b4 the wraps scandel... bob is bipolar ass ****.. he says 1 thing then another... he was on margo case when this popped off now he with cotto... dude is all about the $$$$ so **** him....

not until Margarito gets a couple of wins under his belt

That's why I said within Cotto's next 3. Marg should have shown by then if he ain't ruined by SSM.

Are you saying he's lying about Cotto's trainer being there?

Come on now. Tony has never cheated in his life. He beat Cotto fair and square.

first are you being serious? and if you are you do realize he did get caught trying to use illegal wraps against mosley and it wasnt a change of heart that made him do it he is a cheater and the only reason he was stopped was not his conscience or the dilligence if the cali commision but ****m catching it and also the commisioner said he thought evangilista was there but then said that he wasnt sure and to his recollection that evangilista was there either he was or wasnt how could he not be 100% sure

thing is... do u think margo can come back of that massive beatin??

shot?

I've drawn my own conclussion regarding the Margarito wraps as many of you have. To argue one way or the other just leads to countless ****ty threads. What I find interesting at this point is how Arum is starting to moon walk away from Margs. Is he doing his political shuffle or did he pump that oil dry? Is he privyd to info by the ca. st. athl. comm. others aren't ? Lets just wait till Feb 2010 to see if it was just an infraction. Its very possible this thing could be swept under the rug in Feb if serious allegations are true. Either way boxing will coninue to receive its black eyes in and out of the ring untill it cleans up its act. Proof is what we seek. ****ty threads are what we end up with !!!

of course that ***get's gonna cover his ass about allowing plaster wraps in the ring, but ask the one inspecting at the staples center for the mosley bout why the hand wrap that was already done was sign by the inspector? if not for richardson noticing & wanting to feel the other hand wrap he could have maned or even killed mosley. the point here is we really dont know who to trust anymore when so much money is flying around. as far as im concerned evangelista wasnt doing his job or he would have already defended himself about not doing his job. & of course their gonna try & cover their asses & say gloves werent loaded,what u expect them 2 say? but the question here is why wasnt the inspector on the mosley fight questioned on why he sign the first hand wraps...remember when richardson felt the second wraps he asked to un wrap them, & then when the plaster was found he asked to unwrap the other hand that was already done & signed, & capetillo argued "why? those wraps are good but & signed", but was still forced to unwrap them. & guess what? it also had plaster.....this is the bs corruption we as fans have to deal with,because as far as im concerned the inspector that sign that wrap,margarito, & capetillo should all be in prison taking it up the ass....instead everything was covered as best as could & now they want to cover their asses.....why didnt he make this same statement when everything came to the open......it took almost a year to make this **** up? cmon now,
only a real dummy would believe this bs after almost a year, i dont but it. sounds 2 me like their trying to sweep the dirt under the rug

arum is waffling because he needs everyone to think that cotto isn't ruined by margo to sell the pac/cotto fight.

I would have to agree with a lot you have posted. Incompetence might be an excuse for some but greed and corruption are the villans.

Thes guys who were heavily involved in the fight cant even prove who was there and who wasent and people on boxingscene who watched the fight with a ****ty stream want to prove that there was something in marg's gloves, intresting.
