Antonio Margarito

You know, there's rumors that he's dating Mackenzie Dern now, so what a compliment, right? What a compliment.

By the way, I remember a Cotto fight against Antonio Margarito.

Remember that in 2008? And at Margarito, obviously...

The plaster in his gloves? Yeah, the plaster in his gloves.

And Cotto loses that fight.

and any boxing coach i know has done it a million times okay so there is to me like if you're gonna go to a place can you please use a real commission and i'm not saying dc's is like the highest ranking one but it's a real one and then second of all let the let someone from the corner see their opponents or their fighters opponents and get wrapped and i think that would solve a lot of this now as for the evidence itself i didn't see much personally that to me indicated that there is anything even bordering on conclusive i know that there is a video that's out there and i forget the name of the gentleman who put it to put it together he does raise some interesting questions about the nature of how the hands were wrapped something he calls grip bars Um, I'm not an expert on hand wrapping the two forms of hand wrapping that I'm familiar with.

And the one that you might be familiar with is the one from the Margarito and Kodo fight, or at least the presumed what Margarito did, which is called stacking.

You guys know what stacking is? So stacking is you're supposed to have all gauze first, and then you can tape at the end.

But what you're not supposed to do is tape first on the knuckles and then layer it.

He could-

And, and the number one who had sort of concussive power, who'd kind of grind you down, was Antonio Margarito.

See, yeah.

Now, there is question marks because of maybe loaded-

Called

Margarita.

This

was

wild

one.

Margarita did, so I'll get to that in a minute.

This nigga though, before I took the pads out the gloves, and they took his gloves, Billy Collins.

I'm actually going to go with Abbas over Stantillion.

I think Stantillion is more Margarito, meaning he, he does one thing and one thing only.

And Abbas is a naturally bigger man, um, with some pop.

You know, he's got all those rounds with Xander.

Yeah, but that's Devin Haney, bro.

Like, uh, uh, Devin is hard to fight.

Like, he's a mover, and Ramirez is more of a, you know, a better version of Margarito, right? Like, that's his style, the like, "I'm coming to get you.

I gotta cut the ring off.

Yeah, for sure.

And the one guy does the Antonio Margarito thing and does the plaster of

Paris.

They teach him that when they're getting ready for the game.

The

young Antonio Margarito saw that scene.

He's like, you know, I could do that to Sugar Shane Mosley.

I could put that

But in boxing, perfect doesn't really hit as much as a fighter that gets down and comes back up.

That's why when you see fighters like Clarissa Shields and Floyd Mayweather Jr., uh flaunt that zero yeah it's always great to be that one person but then also well not for clarissa because there's not that many names in her division she's doing what she can moving up divisions she's an all-time great as well but mayweather junior there's there there can be some critiques there why didn't he fight antonio margarito why didn't he fight paul williams Katie Taylor fought all the greats in and around her weight class at the beginning of a career, the middle of a career, and damn, at the end of the career.

Mannix, you set an all-time great trilogy, not just in women's boxing, in boxing period.

That's it.

You

know, years ago when Mayweather was still, obviously, in his prime at Walter Waite, I never seen the contract, but I was told, and I know that, you know, word is that Top Rank offered him like $8 million to fight Margarito, and he never wanted to fight Margarito.

So he avoided Margarito.

Really?

That's what,

look it up, you know.

I think he avoided a lot of people.

He avoided Margarito.

Wasn't there a Mexican fella what fought Pacquiao once, and he, he had summat in his gloves.

Margarito.

Margarito.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Cotto, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Margarito ends up, yeah.
