Margaritos Camp Offers An Explanation

[Trainer Monkey]

Early signs are not good. I wont pass judgement until the substance is confirmed. I would definitely like to hear Margarito say something before too long. What his camp has said thus far, sounds somewhat implausible.

Loading gloves is criminal and in a risk sport like this should be treated very, very harshly. Just got to wait it out a while longer, and then we can all make a fully informed opnion about what really happened.

Right now,Im not saying he did or didnt,let the tests happen first. But the red flag that flew up was that someone from Mosely's camp knew to ask that the wraps be re-checked. The explanation given isnt very good at all,I could have given a better explenation then that.Id have said something like,he was sweating hard,and I was using old guaze,not,"Well I overdoctored the guaze a month ago,but in a perfectly legal manner"
This is not very sellable

So you are just going to dissect my question instead of answering it?

Oh come now,even in relatively mid realm fights,half the time you wouldnt use the gloves the fighters are using in the ring in your gym for fear of getting someone hurt.
They dont usually check that close

How is that ok especially in a title fight? It would not be a big deal given the budget of the WBA and the California State Athletic Commision, to pay someone to stand there and watch them wrap their hands, put on their gloves and be safe about it. Shit like this has happened before, and unnecessary and serious injuries have happened. I don't understand you saying, that's the way it's been in the past so it's fine to do it this way now...........

EXACTLY my point!!

TM, especially being a part of the sport as much as he talks about, should not be so casual about this. If i were in his position, KNOWING that this took place, i'd have probably originally posted something saying "THIS happened because they're too casual with checking and it's an issue."

There is someone watching their hands wrapped, and that was my point from the beginning if you look at my original post. I simply stated that if there is someone watching the hand wrapping at every fight, how is it possible that margarito has done this before and not been caught? I'm NOT SAYING HE HASNT DONE IT, but i'm simply asking the question. I find it hard to believe that if he did this previously, and consistently that it took this long for it to be caught.

And you also made the point that i was trying to make to TM. I don't care how hectic the job is, although i understand and respect it, but it is YOUR JOB to make sure the hands are wrapped legally and safe. This was a title fight, a huge fight, there should be more than one person watching the wrapping if thats the case.

If you watch some of the big PPV fights, they interview the fighter in their dressing room while the instructions are given to them, and if you notice there are a number of guys there watching the hands being wrapped. This is protocol.. hence the "i've already given you the instructions in your dressing rooms" line at the beginning of every fight. It's not JUST when the ref checks their gloves at the beginning of the fight. If that were the case you could put bricks in your gloves.

I didnt say they arent too casual about checking equipment,Im of the opinion that they are too casual about it. What I did say is that the only reason they caught him this time,is someone from Mosely's camp specifically asked to have those wraps re-checked,which tells me they knew in advance something was going to stink to high heaven.

Right.. See bold.

Backstage pass to a world title fight: Exclusive to the Yardbarker nation

I just randomly found this on the web. This is basically a home video right here of fighter Robert Guerrero. This was a Golden Boy fight.. I'll quote from the article..



This is some footage of me in the locker room where I'm warming up about an hour and a half before the fight and the commission is mandated to watch the hand wraps from my cut man Ruben Gomez.

Ruben has worked the corner of over 300 world title fights. He's the best in the business. His hand wraps feel like mini casts on my hands. It truly makes a difference in the fight if my hand wraps are done correctly. In this video you'll see the Arizona Commission rep look closely at the way Gomez is wrapping my hands. There can only be a certain amount of tape allowed.

Not only do they witness the wrapping, but also when he puts the gloves on, they witness the tape near the wrist of the glove, and also the tying of the glove.

Moono your dumbass needs to stop saying stupid shit. You are making it seem like Mexicans are cheaters.

ya, well..good luck w/that.

[No Contest]

I would put more of the blame on Tony's corner, they should know theres no way the CSAC or WBA would allow the treated gauze, and for them to have to re-wrap 3 times is just stupid. Boxers usually don't concern themselves with that stuff, if it did happen I doubt it was Tony's idea is what I'm saying.

I said that earlier,Margarito is going to be the one taking the fall,and he was probably barely even looking when they were wrapping him

If a fighter has to micro manage his Trainer...he needs a new trainer.Ive heard of many fighters wrapping their own hands,looking for that special feel?? Alot of shite needs to be revamped if that Sharpi Signature on each wrist means nothing.Agree on Tony taking the hit rightly or wrongly,regardless of what they find...hes already been black balled.

Serious,your about to hit the ramp to go to the ring,youve got other things on your mind then,"Hey look,some gauze,hey look some more gauze,ooooooo and now theres tape as well",about the only time you get engaged in the process most of the time is when they ask you if they feel good. And unless their too tight,you usually dont say buh,because its a pain to get cut open and re-wrapped. Your brain just is somewhere else,your concentrating on the task at hand. But Margarito is the one who will take the flak for this if it ends up being true. A 30 day TKO suspension can quickly become an indefinite.
And any fighter that does their own wraps,cudo's to them,because that is a serious pain in the ass.I dont even tape my own ankles.

What is my point? Why don't you read the rest of my posts, and it will be clear.

What is YOUR point? You're feeling bad for yourself. You're moaning and complaining.

What is not fair? If margarito actually was cheating, what is not fair about that? Are mexicans supposed to get some special treatment because they are mexican? Shove that thought into your vagina and go cry elsewhere.
