Comments Thread For: A Note on the Antonio Margarito Handwrap Issue

[Drunk Punch]

Boxers look at every aspect of their training, preparation and conditioning in an aspect of microscopic detail that none of us normal guys can ever imagine. To suggest Margarito after all his years in boxing didn't know his wraps were packed with plaster is ludicrous.

He is a cheat, and how many of his victories were achieved with plaster hands?

Woow this article just *****ed on CSAC and kind of exposed them as hypocrites

Marg is obviously being treated this way because of his large status in boxing. Like they said, 17 boxer fought in Cali when they werent allowed to, the most of any state.

Marg confessing will only bring him a lifetime ban IMO

17 boxers on medical suspension, not boxers trying to fight with loaded gloves

Two Hauser articles this week. Great stuff!

Great article. The CSAC should treat everyone equal but tehy don't. They singled out Margarito just because he's Mexican. Texas showed them

What do you think would happen if any of those 17 boxers were seriously injured or were killed in the ring. How would the CSAC look if that would happen?

So now we are comparing apples to oranges to fit an agenda? As you said unfit boxers that would get injured in a clean fight. Not a boxer loading up his gloves to inflict injury. There is no comparison.

I'm more interested than boxing safety than anything else. What other State besides Nevada hold more boxing matches?

The CSAC rejected Margarito because he openly thumbed his nose at the commission punishment by fighting down in Mexico and mugging to the camera while mockingly holding his taped fists up and twirling them around...Then he would sign on to take another fight before he even met with the commission.

These are the actions of someone who has learned nothing from what happened and someone who obviously does not respect the sport, it's authorities, or its athletes...As such, how can any commission give him back a license that involves him taking another fighter's life in his hands?

Of course, as everyone knows, Texas does NOT have a real commission anyway...

the pending lawsuit he has against them does not help either

He got caught with loaded gloves, not saying that he did it before, which they probably were. Also every boxer knows what goes in his gloves, just plain and simple....

margarito knew darn well what was going on that night. he was the favorite going into the biggest fight of his life against a former steroid user in both fighters home states so he wanted alittle insurance that he would win.

a lifetime ban is exactly what he needs and he should be making tacos at taco bell for the rest of his mullet wearing life

Millionaires don't work at taco bell. On the other hand internet trolls that speak like 16 year olds do.

is this your dumb as working the drive thru?

really? I'm not saying they do or don't but can you explain or show the sources to your findings? several world class trainers have stated how easy it could be to slip something in a fighters wrap without them ever knowing. Care to tell us all how they are wrong?
