Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: I Don't Care What Happens to Antonio Margarito

[sugar ray lenrd]

For those who say that there wasn't proof: Capetillo got banned for like and Margo was banned for over a year. If they were innocent they would had a great lawsuit.

There is no proof that he he cheated against Cotto but if he loaded for Mosley.....

Exactly why use the plaster on Mosley & not on the undefeated hard hitting opponent on a BIG MONEY FIGHT & BIG STAGE....

How come nobody who shook Margaritos hand that night has come out and said his wraps were hardened? Thats how Resto was found out.

First of all, fighters hands are wrapped & tapped up so good that at times it feels so hard. So you won't be able to feel the plaster, also it hardens in 15-20 mins.

Resto wAs discovered after the final bell & everyone was shaking hands.
As a former fighter & now trainer, whenever your fighter tells you that he's feeling his opponents punches, that's when you should be alarmed.

you sound like a smart guy and you have to admit impossible to get in a fighters wraps without getting caught the plaster does not add power but gives a sledge hammer affect. to me the plates and rods almost act similar allowing the reinforced hand to hold together

The plates help me, but don't hurt you. Plaster helps me, hurt you.

so did marg only choose to load up for some fights and not all prior to him supposedly getting caught? Or are you guys just using the fight that fit your agenda to say he was loaded in that fight?

because why wasnt the other opponents prior to cotto look like how cotto did when that fight was over?

I imagined they did it when it counted, meaning fights that would land you the money fights, also remember that first fight was in Vegas, lord knows if some of those officials were in on it. The trainer knew what venues he can get away with it.

The opposing trainer does not sign the gloves, someone from the commission does.

that means the trainer AND the commissioner are present. and what the hell is the difference who signs them? in fact with 2 people overseeing the wraps how in gods name can plaster not be seen?

No, Margo used plaster wraps, while Resto gloves the padding was removed by Panama Lewis, so that Collins would feel Restos tapped handwraps that are akin to a little cast.

Margarito could still be innocent

BaaaHAAAAAHaaaahaAaHaaaaA!!!

what the f*#k is wrong with you? after they looked at the wraps and the gloves put on how the phuck did they put plaster in the gloves? what about wilder with titanium renforced hands?

The plaster was concealed in between & under the wraps. This is not about Wilder it's about your lover Margocheato...

bull s h it. plaster is way overated and don't do that much damage. there are 100's of fighters over the years that were beaten into gargoyles with no plaster. and if you got titanium rods holding your bones together you should be out of the sport. I kept ripping tendons and breaking my hands and had to stop

Shame on you, if you was a fighter...

You are correct! Cottos handlers failed him, they were not present for the wrapping of the hands, they went in when the hands were already wrap. Seems like that's something Capetillo was accustomed to doing, but Naz didn't fall for that.
