Is Margarito lying?

[handwraps]

Margarito said he couldn't tell if he had something illegal in his handwraps, but then he said that he knows for sure that he has never used illegal handwraps. One way he could find out is

Take a lie detector test.

I know the advocate stated that it is 95% accurate.

What is your take?

refs touching gloves and all that doesnt matter the wraps harden over the course of the first 5 or 6 rounds. and as emanuel stated the comission doesnt pay attention half the time. Remember it was nazzim who caught them not the comission

[gmc_rfc_06]

He can be sure because the commission watched him get his hands wrapped, someone from Cotto's camp watched him, the ref feels both fighters gloves in the ring. Unless all those people are lying to its IMPOSSIBLE to get away with plaster or what ever people claim he used

The commission also watched his hands getting wrapped against Mosley and noticed nothing until Naazim pointed it out.

I believe Margs knows what was going on, he's simply sticking with a story that he thinks gives him a way out, even though Kellerman killed that theory.

Regarding the Mosley fight I think he is tellin the truth, He got caught before his gloves were on meaning he never got to do any pad work with them so its very likely he didnt know and a inspector signed off on it, I mean once I get that stamp of approval why should I think somethings wrong with it?

in regards to him using this his entire career I call bull****, your not going to tell me this man can win a couple world titles have nearly 40 fights and not get caught doing this....

especially when he has fought antonio Diaz, Paul Williams,Joshua Clottey, Kermit Cintron (Fight 2) Daniel Santos (Fight 2 in Puerto Rico)

The reason I pointed those fighters out is because in Diaz, Williams, Clottey and the 2nd Cintron fight you have highly experienced corners who would have noticed something and do you really think the Commission in Puerto Rico is going to allow Tony to use something against Santos while fighting in PR

[EDD1]

ok everyone, here is the fact.
1.) he got busted for trying to use something in the Mosley fight
2.) He is guilty of that and should have been banned trom boxing
3.) No one will ever know if he used it for all his other fights

FACT IS, boxing and athletic commissions and sanctioning bodies do not care about this fact and have allowed him to continue fighting.
1.) not because they feel they dont have enough evidence
2.) Not because they believe he is saying the truth

IMHO: MARGARITO SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO FIGHT
1.) First, because he commited the worst violation in the sport(knowing or not)
2.) sencond, He is medically unfit to box

FACT IS..... there is money to be made.....


Exerpt from an article on SI dot COM from writer – Chris Mannix

According to sources close to the process, the NYSAC has been under enormous pressure in the last 24 hours to approve Margarito. Cotto-Margarito means big business in New York. Tickets for the Dec. 3 show were more than 90 percent sold. The influx of cash from ticket sales, concessions and revenue generated by businesses around the Garden would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more. Not to mention that the impact of the NBA lockout has already caused the Garden and the surrounding businesses a lot of money. Since Thursday night, sources say, representatives from the city, state and MSG have lobbied the commission to push the license through.

The pressure put the commission in a precarious position. Politics was suddenly a major factor. Their doctors believe Margarito should not be licensed, that his cataract injury puts him at risk for greater, possibly permanent, damage. So they compromised, essentially saying that if an independent, NYSAC-approved doctor clears you, so will we.

Money to be made? involving Margarito?

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

Boxing wanted the stain to go away ! Now its using the stain to sell ppvs !!! Go figure ?

[Toney Loc]

Wasnt there stories of Marg using plaster even in SPARRING!? Im sure there was a sparring partner who was injured (cant remember who) that claimed so

That's Rashad Holloway. It's pretty ******, though. In one article, he claims Margarito hurt his eye real bad one time in sparring, that it felt like a bag of rocks or whatever but in another article he claims Pacquiao hit him the hardest he's ever been hit. Pacquiao must be loading up, too.

Money to be made? involving Margarito?

Now wait a minute...be FAIR. There is a lot of money on the table because of the following:

a-) Miguel Cotto sells PPV's
b-) Miguel Cotto in MSG=big turnout crowds
c-) Miguel Cotto vs. the FIRST GUY to beat him...by TKO...and he's MEXICAN
d-) And I'm sure nothing more casual Mexican fans (and others as well) would love more than to see Margarito do a repeat of the first

There is money to be made.

But objectively speaking, it'd bother me to find out that the sole reason why NYSAC accepted the fight was because of the money on the table and the scrutiny they'd face from fans if they said, "No...we have denied Margarito his license in NY."

Let's hope, for the sake of integrity within the NYSAC and boxing, that Margarito IS fit to fight and that Arum didn't "influence" them.
