If Margo wasn't caught with the loaded wraps, do u think he would have beaten Mosley?

[LEGION]

Just imagine with those bricks inside Margo's gloves, what punishment he could have dished out to Mosley... Well he didn't hit Mosley that much (he didn't even throw that 100 punches per round he's well known for) but at some instances, he hit Mosley with some solid punches... Now if there were bricks on those gloves?

Maybe, lol, there should be a rematch with some ACME products allowed into the equation......Don't forget he got KTFO and when was the last time that happened?

Shane was on fire that night, Tony looked in poor shape, he looked to be out of gas early and unable to stand with Shane that night....Mosley was going to win regardless

[Spicoli]

This shite is just getting flat out silly.No,Mosley was in a zone...once he started targeting in on that body & smircking at Margarito....you got that feeling.He stiffled Tonys attack from the get go,I dont care if he was wielding a machete.It was Mosley night.

That's some of what I noticed aside from the worried look... How could Margo be out of shape when 6 months ago he looked indestructible against Cotto?

This is not to take out credits from Mosley, he's very good that night... And this is boxing, upsets happened...

voted no imo Shane speed was just to much for Margarito

Try to put yourselves in Margo's shoes, you've been caught cheating with a very serious grave offense, what will be your reaction?

I think you will be worried... You cannot focus on the task at hand since your mind is consumed on your very grave crime and it's serious consequences that may affect your living...

Good point; and yeah being in a worried state of mind would seem to be a serious distraction.....I will have to watch it again; but I seem to remember Tony doing and looking the same as every other fight.....Sloppy, hard chinned, and just trying to bulldog his way through a fight......not to mention his typical smiley face when he kept getting punched over and over; so he thought something was funny enough to not seem that worried

A better question SB is would Tony even have ever been in a position to fight Mosley, or Cotto, Cintron, Clottey or anyone else without those wraps; if indeed he's used them before this fight?

I picked shane to win before the wraps theres my answer.

Excellent pick BTW... I think I was not able to post my pick... was undecided on that fight...

I think most of those who picked Margo based it on Margo's indestructible performance against Cotto and Shane's tight loss to Cotto...

Of couse he could have beaten Mosley if his gloves were loaded. people dont understand that if you're getting hit with very hard shots it changes ur game plan. Shane had absolutely no respect for Margarito's power after he got hit and realize Margarito cant punch worth a shit. If margarito had his loaded gloves on shane would have been more respectful of his power thus maybe changing his go for broke style against margarito. U saw Shane get timid against Forest when Forrest was able to really hurt him, even in the second fight he was a bit gun shy. like i said when ur getting hit with power it tends to alter ur game plan.

i agree... finally i got an ally...

Excellent point. When you are hit by a hard puncher you definitely are a different fighter inside that ring and this opens up for the harder puncher to be able to throw more. Being that he should be the aggressor. Shane was not affected by what Margarito was throwing. So much so, that Mosley was even the guy pushing the fight all night long. Mosley was coming to and pushing Margarito to the ropes. At the time I was astounded. Now I know why. Margarito wasn't what we thought he was.

I voted yes because anything Tony hit Shane with had he been able to load his gloves would have inflicted at least twice the damage and Shane would have been slowed by it and eventually Shane would have gotten on the bike or gotten worn out and TKO'd and maybe even permenantly injured.


Margarito and his trainer should have been banned for life after being caught!

I'm also for ban for life... What Team Margarito was trying to sneak can possibly cause serious injuries to opposing boxers...

[Mr140]

No for a life band because i still haev no idea what he use people say brickes but form what i heard it not what it was and also lest not foget that Shane chin and body is about 10x tougher then Cotto i think Molsey would of killed Margrito wither he was loaded or not tell you truth.

[ClubberLang]

I can't believe anyone would answer yes. Margarito was barely landing any clear, effective punches. The loaded wraps would not have made him more accurate. No, the result would have been the same.
