[VIDEO] Arum Calls Margarito to the Podium. Cotto sits his ass back down. Don LAUGHS.

[War-Robbo]

I thought Cotto was gonna outbox Tony the first time?

I'm sure the plaster hands didn't help and Cotto wanted wars back then, he is a lot more switched on under Steward he has already improved on the jab and has got cotto better defensively by the time he fights Margs he is going to outbox him for 12 rounds i believe and maybe even stop him late on.. Just my opinion. Also just joined the forum any help on how to put signatures under my posts and things?? Thanks.

[zero188]

For what exactly?

Hes just doing his job.

That was cotto's moment, bot bobs or anyone elses. He knows exactly what he is doing by trying to add fuel to the fire. He would not have cared one bit if cotto and margarito would have started fighting and someone from cotto's family would have have got dropped by accident. There is a time for everything, this was not it.

[Vasyl’s dad]

no proof after the actual fights but come on.

If it wasnt for naseem richardson who knows what else what would of happened...now marg pulls a ud over a journeyman in mexico when he gets his license back,and gets destroyed by pac and shane ...im only making assumptions in his prior fights but i think hes a cheat nothing more nothing less

again the margarito camp was found guilty and ..



The hand wrappings confiscated from former world welterweight champion Antonio Margarito minutes before his scheduled title defense against Shane Mosley in January contained calcium and sulfur, two of the primary elements of plaster of Paris, a state Department of Justice laboratory reported in documents obtained by The Times today.

Hardened gauze pads that were inserted inside the wrappings around Margarito's knuckle area were seized Jan. 24 after Mosley's trainer ****m Richardson objected to their use.

Margarito proceeded to lose his title in a ninth-round technical knockout by Pomona's Mosley, and the California State Athletic Commission subsequently revoked the licenses of the Tijuana fighter and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, and the pair will likely not be allowed to fight in the U.S. until next year.

A Department of Justice senior criminalist who inspected the wrappings under stereomicroscope and X-ray flourescence spectrometer reported calcium and sulfur were discovered, noting the elements make plaster of Paris with the addition of oxygen. The report was dated March 19. "The commission's decision appears to be supported by that report," said Karen Chappelle, the state supervising deputy attorney general for licensing who urged the California commission to revoke the fighter and trainer's licenses. "The only things that are allowed in hand wraps are gauze and tape and those items aren't gauze and tape."



That right there has no excuse to back it up

So why wasn't he banned permanently?

The whole fiasco doesn't make sense. They apparently caught him with something illegal,

but it wasn't enough for a permanent ban.

Thats weird. Resto was caught and both he and Panama were banned,

for life.


Now, you can bring up Richardson all you want, but its a fact that he is always instigating **** as wraps are being put on. Its a part of his tactics to ruffle the feathers of the opposition. Now, do you think that the California officials would ever admit to incompetence? No, of course not. Would they risk banning a fighter for life if they knew there wasn't really enough evidence to support the claims they made,

of course not.

[any craic lad?]

VIVA MARGARITO haha Don is some craic.Tony being the usual classy dresser he is didnt know what the **** to say Cotto looked mightily pissed though.Anything to make an extra buck for Bob

Its Bobs job as a promoter to create and stir interest. There is no such thing as "a time for everything" in boxing. Its a sport fueled today by added storylines to create interest in the matchup. Its why fighters sometimes show up at another fighters press conference and call them out.

Bob is only "making smart business decisions".

[FloydTBE]

cotto would beat marg

[BTL]

Arum just cares about money..

[AndyShitHot]

Bob Arum is shameless and this is just yet more proof why Top Rank is bad for boxing and that Arum cares about nothing but lining his pockets. Margarito had no right to be on that stage, he had nothing to do with that event and even he looked uncomfortable being up there.
