Huh????????????????? Did i offend you? if so it was not my intention.

you seemingly questioned the integrity of which I approach my job. If that was not your intent all good

for the record

I take my job very serious and with great passion regardless of who it is

I actually like Miguel a lot and have been a big fan of his before and after the Margarito fight. I don't play that game I like just about every fighter for the most part even ones I do not work with. I have fighters I really am not a fan of who I support but one would never know by the way I treat them.

and to be honest I don't I ever defended Margarito in here more than his manager who I will defend at length

anyways all good

[AnimalisticMeth]

wait a minute this is your friend?



that is the guy who asks him him during the Cotto fight "How is your punch?"



that dude looks shady.

This is incredibly awkward...

The arguments basically boil down to "Cotto said..." and "Tony's manager said..."

It's just best to let it go and concentrate on the fight. I for one expected this whole affair to be an open-and-shut case and now am looking it from another perspective, although to be honest I've been avoiding the plaster debacle and doing my best to avoid bringing up the "wraps" issue when discussing the first fight.

I'm Puerto Rican, and I enjoy fights and discussing fights with my fellow countrymen and Mexican posters, there is writing on the wall and a lot of su****ions that emerged in the wake of the plaster scandal. Having said that, nobody can say 100% (WITHOUT A SHRED OF DOUBT) that Margarito went in that fight with loaded gloves. Did Cotto look busted up? Yes. Did he take the worst beating of his career? Most likely. Did Margarito have a motivation behind loading wraps for this fight (if he did)? Yes. But at the end of the day, it's only that...pure speculation on our behalf.

It's kinda' awkward talking about the fight with casual PR boxing fans as they tend to IMMEDIATELY stray off to say "Cheater" as if it's been proven he was guilty in that fight. He was guilty for trying to load his wraps for Mosley, but for Cotto? No.

Yesterday, I was talking to my friend about not making any arrangements so he could come over to my house for the fight and he suddenly trailed off and went on a rant on how Margarito is crap this, crap that...and I'm like...

So I just have to nod my head to their whacked out opinions because they'll just say that I'm a Margarito nuthugger or something like that. I was shaking my head after the Pacquiao/Margarito fight with people posting stuff on their status like: "Margarito's nothing without his wraps..."

I'm like, "C'mon, man...don't look at this as black or white." People now think that after Margarito's performance against Pacquiao, that he's powerless/featherfisted...

Feather-fisted=Yuri Foreman, Paulie Malignaggi, Ivan Calderón...


I tend to give Margarito a pass for that performance. He gave a good honest effort despite his dangerous, face-first style. He pushed Pacquiao's head back several times with uppercuts, hurt him good with a body shot in the sixth and endured punishment for 12 rounds. If he were a bum without power, he wouldn't have made it out of the third or fourth round. Pacquiao would've tattooed him even worse. So...

Anyway, looking forward to the fight, everybody sit down, have some chips/pizza, get your drink on (or so-da :rof and don't hope for a quick ending. Hope for a back-and-forth, edge of your seat, "I almost shat my pants" kinda' fight.

That is all...carry on!

I asked Ariza after and he said Manny was in a messed up state. He said it was the hardest Manny had been hit and while it was a one sided beat down they still worried about the power Tony was throwing that night

[Mr. Fantastic]

In an interview with Evangelista, he said he was there and saw nothing wrong. Another one is Keizer mentioning that people from his camp were there too.

Margarito's not a pushover, I agree. People thinking that Margarito's going to be taken out easily are mistaken.



^^^Post-Margarito...when we think of the Pacquiao-Margarito fight, we think of Margarito because he was the guy that came out of it with unbelievable facial damage. To Margarito's defense, it's not like Pacquiao came out of there unscathed, either.
