Everyone has thrown Margarito under the bus. now I was a late comer to being his fan (all having to do with my limited availability of seeing fights)...... I am still a Margarito fan.
Sure he may have screwed up. But he is a warrior and I can't wait for him to rebound, albeit on a Tommy morrison undercard in Paris, Arkansas.
Actually I don't think he's been thrown under the bus at all. Only a year is fair, there aren't many guys who get away with this at all imo. It's really no matter how you feel it's the cardinal sin imo. The worst thing you could possibly try to do is load your raps because that has a direct correlation to your opponents health and that isn't cool.
I think it should have been made to be a bigger deal then nwhat it was.

Even if he was my favorite fighter, if Winky did this I would have a tough time stomaching it. This is the biggest disappointment this year.

Damn with loaded hands Winky would have disfigured Tito. :p
Seems he is free to fight in Mexico.
I couldn't care less though, the guy is morally bankrupt trying to pull that kind of shit. Loading the gloves is something you just dont even consider in this day and age and at that level. Its spellbounding that they would even try such a thing. Its knowingly and willingly attempting manslaughter. :rolleyes:
Its just depressing shit.
I personally think Margarito should go and get a boobjob like Tommy Morrison. That would cheer me up. :D
and what is this shit with the Postal Service raising the price of stamps again. They wonder why everyone does shit online, because it costs like $ .43 to mail a letter now..... :(
They still print stamps? Shocking, and they probably expect you to walk to the postbox too, I imagine. :oQuote:

There is no joy in this discovery for me. Not gonna bump any old posts and go "gotcha!'. Not gonna try and rub it in anyone's face. We all lose here. It is a shitty day for boxing.
And I can't forgive Margarito for what he did. He knew exactly what was going on, he is a long time seasoned professonal. Then for him and his trainer to pull this sorta ignorance is bliss charade...from Tony's demeanor when he got caught right before the fight, up to hearing his trainer claim 'accidental' is starting to make me hope he never boxes again.
So ya, no one thrown under any bus here. Just two cheats with no respect for the sport or themselves.
Wouldn't it be kinda hilarious though if Paulie Malignaggi or Sergio Mora were found guilty of using handwraps and still couldn't inflict any damage :DQuote:

It's the lowest of the low imo, although as yet I still don't know if he is truly guilty.
But if his guilt can be established beyond doubt, then throw him out of boxing for good.

Yeah I was one of the biggest Margarito fans here......and I still want to see him fight; only now I think I'll be rooting for him to get KTFO....Disappointing you is one thing; cheating like that and putting someone's life in danger even more than what it already is in that ring is criminal.....You're a silly douche bag.
with loaded gloves winky will still be all defense, his ko ability will still be below average ;DQuote:
