Also we have no hard evidence that Margarito knew about his wraps. His trainer has taken all responsibility. Even then I do agree that Margarito should share some of the blame and he has served his so called sentence for it.

I agree with Spicoli's original post. I also think there gets a point when you have to move on. For me Margarito has now done that. He has gone the distance with the best and shown he CAN put a dent in him. This also makes me question whether the gloves have been loaded in previous fights. I suspected that maybe he had, but now I am not so sure. Either way we just DO NOT KNOW. It is all just guess work on our part.

Anyway, Margarito has redeemed himself a little in my eyes. You can keep on repeating the same thing in every thread, but it does get a little tired. Margarito fought hard tonight and I respect a fighter that does that. Audley Harrison is the biggest criminal from tonight.
As for the video....that's bullshit Margarito and Rios knew what they were doing....it's all part of selling a fight isn't that what people usually say?

As a BOXER Antonio Margarito will never be redeemed in my eyes....as a person tonight and vs Shane Mosley he did his time, but as a BOXER I do not forgive him and each time he steps in that ring I'll be for whoever is against him.

His former trainer can take all the blame he wants to, but I know this, I know if someone wrapped my hands I could tell whether or not the wraps were loaded (and perhaps there needs to be an ESPN study on whether or not fighters can tell if their wraps are loaded or not for future cases) and I think just like Panama Lewis and Luis Resto both the trainer and the fighter knew the deal.
