    Reed please,..:nono: So despite the lows in a fighters career,.. why should one stop being a fan?...'Reed officially co-signed' with whatever Kaukiprr had to say about Abdullaev back in the day,.. but.. the inner Fraud-groupie took hold, and you 'quit' the bandwagon after the Clottey loss,...

    I guess I go the full 12 when it comes to bandwagons,.. I thought you anti-quitting brigade would admire something like this?..

    The PBF nut-lickers, and rightfully so, can throw a bash if Baldomir manages to win. And I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility if Margarito's not allowed to load his gloves.

    Baldomir doesn't hit as hard as Margarito, isn't as big, but may have better skills and an equally sturdy chin.

    I'd love to see this fight.

    What was interesting was that when Baldi beat Judah for the title and discussed his future plans, he made no mention of Margarito and even ignored the interviewer's mentioning of his name.

    But that was the "loaded" Margarito. Who knnows what Margarito can do if he's forced to wrap his hands legally.

    Look no further than Trinidad and the trajectory of his career when his tricks were exposed to see what Margarito could be reduced to. And unlike Tito, Margarito doesn't have the technique and boxing abilty to fall back on that Trinidad did.

    We could very well see Margarito start losing to B and B- fughters if firced to wrap his gloves legally. Wouldn't that be a hoot.

    Because you never learn, I'll have to repeat: Trinidad wasn't caught loading his gloves with plaster, it was the ammount of dry gauze. He gave Mayorga a career ending, or chin-softening beating without any glove/wraps controversy, so shut the fuck up. Trinidad isn't the same puncher after going up in weight. You're just an attention seeking imbecile.

    In an interview with Bernard Fernandez of Philly.com, Hopkins said, "If you put on tape, then gauze, then tape, then gauze, it's like a [plaster] cast. It's like being hit with a baseball bat. I'm giving out some secrets here, but you can dip your hands in ice water and that tape will, like, marinate and become harder. But it's only cheating if you get caught. Personally, I think Vargas' and Reid's people dropped the ball. Naazim did a brilliant job in spotting what [Felix Trinidad Sr.] was doing with the wraps." Don Felix was also putting tape on the skin and over the knuckles, both of which are not in accordance with NYSAC rules. New York's head commissioner put his foot down and made Don Felix wrap in strict accordance to the rules.
    Don Felix has insisted in several interviews that, "I have always wrapped Tito's hands this way and nobody else has ever said anything."


    Hopkins 'giving away some secrets here' ... is just as disturbing and revealing I think. Could be two birds with one stone in this little paragraph.

    In a recent interview of Don Felix by Gerardo M. Avila-Planas and David Mesqueue., Don Felix was asked, "Do you think that the Hopkins camp did it (made them rewrap Tito's hand) to get to you psychologically?" and he answered, "Well, it got to us a little because, since I couldn’t place the tape that I usually place on Tito’s hand... I had to add some more gauze to make a type of pillow... This tends to take away some of the power in the punch."

    Fuck all them cheaters, not just the low profile ones, all of em. It's a shame only certain fighters get suspended and fights turned to NC's due to cheating. They should fuck off all these black eyes equally and quit making a joke of this sport.
