Margarito's eye struggling to heal, career may be in jeopardy

[Snakey]

So youd damage the sport just for the sake of getting back at one fighter?


Boxing doesnt need another blemish on it, margarito already gave it one with his scandal he doesnt need to add another with a severe injury or death in the ring.

He took a severe beating and now may be forced to retire from it.

This isn't a blemish on the sport as you put it, he took a beating (like a man) and may have to retire. That's the risk when you step into a ring. It's happened to many others but this time some people can smile at his misfortune. So what? Each to their own.

By the way, I don't know why you keep mentioning death, no one has said they want him to die. I think you're being a little dramatic.

Well I think its pretty stupid that everyone is pissed coz Margarito could of SEVERELY injured someone with loaded wraps....yet your all so happy that he has been severely injured. Remember Margarito didnt kill anyone with loaded wrap neither did he hurt them badly enough to end a career so what you guys are asking for seems like over kill.


Dont hear anyone bagging tito for his wraps?


I mention death because these things can lead to that, the way people are talking it sounds like people wouldnt mind if it happened to margarito.

he didn't but came very close to ruining Miguel Cotto's career in a fight that IMO he did use them in, and just cause he didn't manage to do so doesn't erase the fact that he didn't give a fuck at the thought that he could have done just that, so fuck the cheating fucker

and as for the Tito remark, Trinidad NEVER used plaster, the only drama over his wraps was that the way that Trinidad's father wrapped his hands put more gauze over the knuckles tightly instead of around his wrist, it's only illegal in NY and not in any of the other states, so if it would have taken place in CA or Vegas it wouldn't have even been an issue, lets not compare apples and oranges just to try and get your little message across

anyways to me it breaks down like this, would you feel sorry for a pedophile if he was convicted and then by chance raped by a big gorilla of a man in prison? it's called karma and Margarito deserves every bit of it

Dude....were Titos wraps illegal? Yes or no ? If so, theyre illegal for a reason. Dont pick and choose who you call cheating fucker...did Tito attempt to cheat ?

Mate a paedofile and a boxer who used illegal waps are too different things, youve taken it to a completely different extreme. I woudnt give a fuck if a paedofile was killed in the most brutal way possible because what they do is completely evil and fucked up. Margarito had loaded wraps...yes its wrong and yes he deserved an arse whooping. But does he deserved to be physically impaired for the rest of his life....no.

I remember an interview with Nazeem Richardson where he was talking about both wrappings incident and he clearly said that Tito did only some "abrazive" to the rules where Margarito was plainly cheating. There is a huge difference between not wrapping hands correctly or introducing some lethal material in it. Tito was more of a minor infraction where Margarito was plainly criminal.

Yeah i get that, im not saying Titos was worse...but its still illegal. You cant say one wrapping incident is fair enough and the other isnt. One may be worse than the other but in the end it they were both technically cheating. If it wasnt then why was tito pulled up for it, theres gotta be a reason why you cant do it.


Look my point is margarito shouldnt of done what he did, i have condemned him in the past for it too....but he got his arse whooping, he took it like a man...but he didnt need to get seriously injured from it. The fact that people are happy about it makes me think they wouldnt of cared if he died in the ring.

Thats its it !!! Ive said my bit, if you dont agree then thats your opinion.

Fuck off. There is being happy someone got what was coming to them but wishing death on someone? I can guarantee that 99% of the people on here who would be gutted if ANYONE died in the ring, regardless of what he had done prior to that. It's a ridiculous thing to say.

Please man such is an apples and oranges argument. Tito never inserted cement plugs into his wraps and instead was told to re-wrap because of gauze direction. His dad wrapped the same way his entire career and the gloves were signed off each time. What Margarito did was quite different. Instead of pulling the stuffing out like Lewis did with Resto,they added. The intent was the same. And if you are going to label Tito a cheater you better label Oscar and Roach cheaters. Oscar would use twisted packing tape in his wraps and he was never called on it and under Roach's watch. I could care less if Margarito ever boxed again. Resto gets 3 years in jail and is never licensed to box again.Fast forward to 2011 and Margaresto get a multi million dollar pay day. Pathetic.

Well said mate.

[CFH]

Im amazed at responses to this. You guys do realise that this is all bad press for boxing right? Yes Margarito cheated and hes an arsehole (bad press for boxing) but the media doesnt see this as a good thing, theyd turn this into a "boxing is too dangerous' article.

Career ending injuries too ANYONE in a fight does no favours for the sport. Margarito was punished by the boxing authorities for what he has done, he doesnt need to die in the ring to make up for it.

The mainstream sports media doesn't give two shits about boxing anymore. This isn't even a blip on their radar.

[skel1983]

Antonio Margarito is not having an easy time with an eye injury he recieved last year in November when he fought and lost to Manny Pacquiao. According to a report in the LA Times, Margarito is set to undergo an eye examination next week. Its possible that the eye injury (to his right eye) could stop Margarito from ever fighting again.

Boxing Promoter Bob Arum, quoted in the LA Times had this to say: "The eye is still giving him trouble; it has not completely healed."

Robert Garcia who is Margarito's trainer and close friend is worried over the injury Garcia stated: "It's hard to think that he'll have to maybe quit like this when there's still million-dollar paydays out there for him. I always tell these guys to invest their money when they get it, because that next big fight might never come. This is a big hit. He's a close friend."


What are peoples thoughts?

I would of loved to see a Cotto rematch, but then on the other hand alot of people will probably be happy with this.

[Dark Lord Al]

well he can always continue to play Teddy in prison break, instead of boxing.

[skel1983]

Shit sorry my man Bulldog has already got a thread about this, MODS can one of you sort it out thanks.

again it's like comparing apples and oranges, Trinidad's wraps were not illegal in any other state other than NY, so it's a non-issue really, on the other hand loaded plaster wraps are internationally illegal in the sport of boxing, so don't get why you keep comparing the two
