[BigDog9]

sissy move he did. but why in the hell would he do such a thing. idiot LOSER

[Dave Rado]

Hey Grustler, turns out Margarito didnt cheat after all.
I blow this thing wide open in my latest piece.

you can thank me for opening your eyes later.

LOL!

[prsi]

my bad, i was just being flippant. sorry to all mexicans

Now that's cool!!!!!

It take a boy to make mistakes,
But it takes a man to accept the mistake and apologize

Good Post Pullcounter!!!!

[prsi]

I think this **** is getting outta hand here, with the whole "MEXICAN" thing. Him being mexican doesn't make him a cheater. The whole Mexican fans BS ain't cool either, Margs had fans of every color and race.
As I said before,
Mexicans fans
WILL NOT
support this,That includes the ones in Mexico. It's one thing to deal drugs or work for cartels, but to say that thats all Mexicans know is truly ******. I don't know, A LOT of you actually know mexicans, and you know we take pride in our ****, wether it be boxing or food, or anything else for that matter. But one thing I can tell you is this type of **** is not tolerated over there. MF'ers won't hesitate to burn down an arena over a bad decision. TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU..... MARGARITO will not fight in Mexico. He has a better chance fighting in the STATES. Here the cops would protect his ass!!!! Ain't nobody gonna protect his ass in Mexico.
IT"S BEEN PROVEN, mexican fans are biased in a way, we LOVE OUR FIGHTERS TO DEATH, but when **** like this happens we are the first ones to booohh and throw stuff in the ring, mexican or not.

I totally agree with you buddy VIVA MEXICO AND THEIR PEOPLE!!!!

I phrased what I mean wrong, my bad. Accident probably wasn't the right word.

What I'm saying was that it was the wraps he noticed, not the foreign substance. His problem with how the wraps were wrapped is what led to the discovery of the foreign substance.

Still though, your right. If Tony's hands were wrapped the same way against Cotto Evangelista should have noticed.

My only point was that it wasn't the foreign substance Nazeem noticed immediately. It was the wrapping of Tony's hands that caught his eye, the foreign substance came to light as a result of the way the hands were wrapped.

Considering the commissioners noticed nothing wrong at the Mosley fight, until Naz brought it to their attention, and considering that no one noticed anything wrong in the Billy Collins Jnr fight, or in the Mpofu fight until after those fights had finished, I don't think it's that surprising that it was missed by Cotto's uncle.

Enjoy your beer.

That is a post with great truth.

Most of us here, Mexicans and PRs go back and forth in the name of fun, some people are ignorant in their thoughts though and I appreciate your words said to him.

Thanks for the Beer my friend an you dont have to thank me for what i said because it came from the heart.

If you notice Pullcounter did apologize for his words afterwards.

The Nevada Comission should make Margo and Capetillo take a Poligraph and ask them if they used the Plastter in the Cotto fight.

First you take Capetillo into a room. Charge him with attempted murder, tell him they are going to try him for 10 years to life injail, but if he confesses, and turn evidence against Margo (saying he knew and they did it before in previous fights) they would reduce the charges to conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and only lock him up for 2 - 3 years. Then you poligraph those pieces of crap.

I have been pounding against Margacheto and his lying and disgrace actions in the sport. But to jump from there to talk about Mexico like you just did is very insulting to a country that has done a lot for the sport.

Every country including mine (Puerto Rico by the way US citizen) have their problems that at a certain moment the country will need to deal with. Mexico not only has produce tons of great boxers, but they have world wide known actors, singers, lots of the most beautiful resorts and are really hard working people. I have gone back a forth with Mexican people on this web and even though we have our discrepancy it is not fair or justifiable to talk about a country like you did.

I don't know where are you from and i don't care because your country is not responsible for the way you expressed your self, the same way Mexico is not responsible for what Antonio "The Tijuana Tramposo" Margacheato did.

Hey, man, I realize that you didn't have to say what you did, so I really appreciate that you posted this. That was cool. Props.

The Mexico vs. Puerto Rico boxing rivalry is a great tradition. I feel ****ed up that Margarito and Capetillo are a disgrace and have not only tainted this historical contest between warriors, but have brought shame to all of boxing. As far as I'm concerned, that's some never-forgive action.

There's nothing wrong with cheering for your favorites. Arguing, debating and even talking **** is part of the game. But, you're right, there's no need to get ignorant.

I agree.

The reason that they were missing this is because the normal is to watch the wrapping action of the hands. What trainers normally do is fold the gauzes and set them on a table. Normally nobody unfolds the gauze, not even the trainers of the other corner or the commisioners. The comissioners and other corner watch the process of the wrapping to make sure that there's nothing unusual while wrapping the tape and they are allowed to touch the other boxer hands to make sure that it has gauze and tape only but when they are wrapped already not before.

In Margaritos case, he got caught because Naz felt the wrapping harder "stiffer" than what it should be and requested to be unwrapped. When they unwrapped Margarito's hand they noticed the plaster falled off from between the gauze, which obviously was not noticed because the gauze was folded and the plaster was inside. When they unwrapped the second hand they found it also between the folded gauze.

If Naz would not note the "stifness" of the wrapping it would had passed because nobody could see it initially, which brings me back to the Cotto's Uncle situation. It has been proven that the substance found is plaster which hardens with moisture (in this case sweat) so if Capetillo followed the same procedure by putting the plaster between the folded gauze and that plaster had not hardened ("stiffed") when Cotto's uncle reviewed Margarito's hands wrapped it could easily pass from him and the commisioner.

I guess now the corrective actions by the commisioners and the trainers will be to have somebody check the gauze before it is folded and placed on the hands..

Lots of luck with that and lets just hope that if there's another MargaCheto out there they get caught because a fighter could die in the ring with this type of cheaters.

No, he didn't. Only Mexicans supported Margarito.
