Assault In The Ring on HBO last night

[El Kabong]

I seem to recall Felix Trinidad being involved in a handwrap controversy. Any other bigger names that you guys can think of that had handwrap issues

Margarito and his trainer should be banned for longer, but I think the reason they got off lighter is that they were caught with the intention of cheating, Margarito never got caught hitting someone with a loaded glove/wrap, I would say Miguel Cotto's face could be evidence, but to my knowledge he has never said anything about, he never said anything while he was int he corner or even after the fight it and even had Cotto said something about it the gloves were more than likely destroyed but the handwraps were obviously done away with so no new evidence will ever come out from any of Tony's past fights. Billy Collins said as he was in the corner "It feels like I'm being hit with a brick" and "He's stronger than I thought he would be".

Personally I think Margarito is done, did you see that piss poor effort he had against Mosley, and whenever Shane touched him Tony got hurt...I think them finding the wraps had more of a mental/psychological effect on Tony than anyone could have predicted.

Actually Lyle, that one year was just based on the fact that the pad itself was illegal, and they said that it was a minumum of 1 year pending the results of the lab tests. They didn't know the results at the time of the suspension, and now that they do, I hope they make it a lifetime ban.

Miguel said he was not going to press it, because they fuked up by not having anyone in the dressing room while his hands were being wrapped.

Also, durinig Margacheato's hearing, the prosecution tried to admit evidence that he did cheat during the Cotto fight, but the commission said that they were only dealing with the Mosley fight, since the Cotto fight happened in Las Vegas.

I have the email address of the commission, and I'm going to email them, and tell them that they all need to watch that movie, and make sure that they know it's Bob Arum making that statement.

If anyone wants to send their own email to the commission, pm me, and I will give you the email address.

I didn't read the rest of the posts in this thread but I finally got a chance to watch the documentary after all this time.

I feel for Resto. He knew what was going on but he seems like a person who is easily persuaded to do what others say. I think he served his punishment already and he is looking to redeem his soul. I can respect somone who can finally come clean and admit they were wrong and live with the truth. That takes a lot. A lifetime ban was a bit harsh IMO.

Panama Lewis on the other hand is a piece of sh*t. I hope nothing but the worst for him. He did that sh*t! And his anxiousness anytime someone mentioned the scandal just makes me think he did it more and more. I believe heavily in Karma and hope it gets back to him...
