Margarito Suspended! Trainer Javier Capetillo also suspended....

First of all, Im not suggestion anything other than whats out there; G words. No one else has made any kind of accusatory statement that didn't come through a G channel.

Secondly, there is no commissioner of the CSAC. Thats a point I've made on more than one occassion and is signs of a deeper sickness within the commission and how it's run.

I completely disagree with you that G would be "above" doing something like you suggest. I've got little doubt they've fixed any number of fights already. Justa different shade of shit.

 

"I don't care what the truth is, he's a cheater"

- Roboto.

 

Are G doing this to prevent a Marge-Cotto fight and have Cotto face Mosley instead? Sounds like going too far for a fight that won't make more than 350,000.00 ppv buys

 

It's not that I think they're above that, it's just that I don't think the end justify the means in this case. And even if it was an efficient way of turning the attention away, the fact that Mosley just won one of the biggest fight in his career, a fight that is also surrounded with controversy, might put him under more scrutinity than he would otherwise have been under.

Also, what's unfortunate with your hypothesis is that it is almost unprovable no matter how events turn out for Margarito.

 

Both sides of this story are unproveable, IMO. It should never have taken as long as it has to get an answer.

They're butchering Margarito on PTI rght now. ::

 

I disagree, the california department of justice will test the substance that was found in Margarito's handwraps, I don't think G has much influence there, if any...

What's PTI?

 

Damn dude, whats PTI?

 

Pardon the interuption. Sports show.

 

No way!

 

What'd they say?

 

Basically "its boxing. Who'd have thought someone would cheat in boxing. His whole career is now under a cloud. Boooo"

 

Ahh... nothing not expected. Cunts.

 

kornyheiser knows zilch about boxing

 

How many turds in the general sports media do? Probably about 2%, if that.

Fuck the NFL channel, errr umm I mean ESPN.

 

I love the show, but when they talk about the sports I know best (boxing and hockey) it makes it hard for me to take anything they have to say seriously.

 

I don't watch sports talkshows.:dunno:

 

Amazing. I thought everyone had some kind of passing interest in sports shows.

 

I've watched some but my interest faded very quickly, I don't like the formula.

 

God forbid they actually give Shane Mosley credit for a great performance

 

I agree, they suck. The only time i watch is if they have a guest i'm insterested in hearing from. Even then it's usually lame as most pro athletes are pretty dumb and can't say much else other than cliches.

 

I tried that and all I got was a mouthfull of "DELFECTOR! DEFLECTOR!". Maybe they browse the fightbeat forums and thought better of it :dunno:

 

It'll never happen if they have any "ammo" to bash the sport.

 

Reed please,..Margarito may be cleared in the same way Floyd was cleared for icing a woman, through a settlement,.. - if the bribe for discontinuance is acceptable with the commision, surely you would have to be satisfied that Margarito is innocent..?

 

Kau, please.

You yap non-stop about the LEGAL thing that Hopkins does by making weight and beating smaller guys. You can't stop talking about Floyd's forearms and turning his body.

What's a worse offense? Taking EPO, or making 160 against a guy less experienced at middleweight? Throwing an elbow, or taking steroids?

Oh, let me guess. Shane just happened to fly across the state and spend two thousand dollars on legal supplements? He injected himself in the stomach with what he thought were legal supplements? He's a nice guy, so he wouldn't do such a thing intentionally? ::

Last time this was brought up, you had to divert the subject of this great "ambassador"'s cheating to yap about American capitalism.

 

I wonder what brother Eaner has to say about his incident. Has anyone spoken to him. I'll Holla 5000

 

I'm addressing the feeling around here that he may have used illegal handwraps against Cotto. As far as I'm concerned, nothing has been proven yet and we should hear all the facts before we call him a cheat.

If he is however, they should take everything they can from him. Boxing doesn't need any more cheats.

 

You might be labouring under the false impression that I am a Cotto or Tito fan.

You're incorrect. I just believe that if it's proven that fighter A took illegal wraps into a fight then his victory against fighter b should be removed from the record.

I don't care if it's Kostya Tszyu or Roy Jones, we don't need that shit in this sport.

 

How the fuck is anyone going to prove that Margarito had loaded gloves for the Cotto fight? A state in which all hand wrapping is supervised for championship fights?

Don't go the road of the stupid, bro. There's enough people filling that role here already.

Far as I can see it, we're agreeing that it's premature to be calling Margarito a cheat. :dunno:
