Antonio Margarito - In Which Fights Did He Attempt To Use Loaded Gloves?

[Mr. Fantastic]

ay you getting to Dallas on Friday?

if so I got a beer with your name on it

Yes sir. Leaving in the morning to get there and hang out with friends and all. I'll be jumping up and down cheering for Margarito.

us Mexicans think alike

I like debating this piece because I do have facts on my side that show a precedent that Tony had the same power he has always had

Right, I bet...

I just want something concrete that he used it in other fights. Because, from everything I gathered I could see why the Shane fight would be the first time.

However, I must admit that I don't know. But, I do lean towards the first time being with Shane.

However, when I ask why cuz he lost, or cuz look at Cotto face, or cuz look at the red stain on the wraps. Yet Ortiz and Corrales have pics with that red stain on the exact spot.

[xcaret v3]

Doug Fischer's theory sounds believable to me (Marg celebrated after the Cotto win, got fatter than usual, looked terrible in camp for the Mosley fight, so Capetillo got desperate), but no one will ever know for sure.

this is exactly what capetillo said and its believable to the fullest...

[infamous larryx]

anyone making accusations please post proof or shut the **** up

[Eaner0919]

I don't know why people think it is so unlikely that maybe, just maybe the Mosley fight was the first time.

Granted it doesn't give them a pass.

And, I understand the su****ion now with Marg.

But, I still haven't heard anything legit from anybody that he probably used it before.

it's the anger of the moment I get it

it's also the disbelief that a slow plodding thudding guy like Margarito could destroy fighters in the manner at which he does, especially Cotto who is beloved by a lot of his countrymen.

I get it but I can debate it back at them

I mean when you think about it he beat Clottey worse than Cotto did.

he beat on Pwill worse than anyone with the exception of Martinez and at welter

really the only fighter not to let Tony beat on him was Shane.

everyone else, yes even Santos, got beat up by Tony at some point

[Eaner0919]

Yes sir. Leaving in the morning to get there and hang out with friends and all. I'll be jumping up and down cheering for Margarito.

hit me up on PM if you want to meet up for a brew or seven

[Mr. Fantastic]

hit me up on PM if you want to meet up for a brew or seven

Sure man. I will be with a crowd though if it's ok with you bro?? Win or lose, I'm getting drunk on Saturday. I just want to see an action packed fight. Something to remember.

[Maidana vs Rios]

Joshua Clottey who prior to Cotto knocking him down had never been down in his career

Actually, in the first round of the Clottey-Corrales Showtime broadcast, Steve Albert mentioned that Clottey had been down once in his pro career, in his pro debut.

[Psycho Paul]

Only the Mosley fight, don't have any proof that he attempted to use them in other fights, not going to pretend like I know either.

[Georgeshills]

Only the Mosley fight, don't have any proof that he attempted to use them in other fights, not going to pretend like I know either.

We can only speculate but I would think he did so in all fights after the Williams defeat. He had a motive after that.

Suspected? So maybe he didn't have him and that is why it took him 11 rounds right?

Again lets say your theory is true and it was after the P-Will fight it took longer to KO Cintron with loaded then it did without it.

But, then if you look closely since 1999 he has KO'd everybody at WW except for Clottey, P-Will, and Perez. But, in a 10 year span only 3 fighters went the distance.

So it also looks like that you want to throw in maybe he used it back then. Well damn, you telling me for 10 years he got away with it all this time? He tricked every single trainer even great ones like Emanuel Steward(Cintron 2nd fight trainer) Are you telling me that Steward, who has been in the game for a long time, can't tell the difference between legal and illegal wraps. That nobody in the World besides Naz Richardson can tell the difference? He could trick every single commission and I am talking about top commissions like Nevada and New Jersey not crappy commissions like Cali or TX state commission.

For 10 years?

How believable is that?

Outside of the Mosley fight, everything else in the past is based on conjectures or assumptions. No matter how Cotto's face looked like as if he got hit with a cement block, there was no proof. So everything else before Mosley is up to any assumptions. You can claim 1 fight, or 10 fights before Mosley because it can be assumed. It doesnt mean if you have something in your gloves you can KO your opponent from the onset. Look at Cotto, assuming the gloves were loaded, Cotto lasted until the 11th.

Again, we can argue this for all its worth, but is Margacheato worth the argument? NO.
