HBO Article on the Margarito hand-wrapping incident

Seems like Clottey will just injure himself or run out of gas anyway like he always does

 

Clever.

 

Has Javier Capetillo said anything since the incident?

 

Isn't Margarito's and company hearing in front of the commission happening TODAY??

 

opppss...:doh: should've read the thread.....now Cotto can't rematch the cunt Margarito for probably another year or so....:bangh:

 

That may depend on where it's held. ::

 

I nominate CLOTTEY or BERTO as good replacement for June/July...then a Mosley rematch in November...:mj:

 

Cotto/Mosley 2 is more relevant anyway.:bears:

 

PR will probably support California/US suspension....and i doubt Cotto will want it to happen in Mexico...in Tijuana they will let Margarito use the plaster and come into the ring w/ glass covered gloves...:notallthere:

 

Think more broadly.

 

how about mosley vs. cotto in Vegas w/ smaller gloves? i'd pick mosley.

 

I don't know. Cotto's still got question marks, so it's hard to say anything defnitively about him before he fights again, but I didn't think Mosley looked all that good himself, physically, against Margarito.

Right now, it may be likely that neither guy can match what they did the first time around.

 

did you mean you would rather seen Margarito fight Clottey or Cotto fight Clottey?

 

Mosley Held HIS OWN Physically, in the Early Rounds...Then MANHANDLED Margarito Late...



REED:hammert:

 

Part of it is his legs, which I don't think looked all that great but which he didn't really have to use against Margarito.

It's not just that, but it's part of it.

 

i can't....


TELL ME GODDAMMIT!!!

 

Think of an island filled with criminals.

hint: Not Australia.

 

Cotto's boxing skills will still give Mosley problems.......freaking Margarito doesn't even throw a jab...

 

United Kingdom.....winner fight Hatton next...:crafty:

 

The good and bad for Antonio Margarito

The California State Athletic Commission hearing to determine Antonio Margarito's fighting future has continued past the noon hour.

Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, temporarily suspended for having illegal hand wraps before the Jan. 24 welterweight title fight against Shane Mosley, could have their licenses revoked, said Karen B. Chappelle, the supervising deputy attorney general prosecuting the men.

State inspector Mike Bray revealed what he witnessed of the "illegal" pads hidden in knuckle wraps.

"There was a blood stain on the corner of the pad; [it was] moist and dirty looking with a white substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster ... I can see a substance smeared in the middle of this pad," Bray said, reading from notes he'd filed about the inspection.

Earlier, Chappelle attempted to introduce a claim that the pads were worn by Margarito in his July TKO victory over Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas, but the commission said that point lacked relevance.

Margarito and Capetillo's attorneys pointed to chain of custody issues with the pads after they were recovered from Margarito's hands, drawing testimony that three people in Mosley's dressing room touched the pads.

Chappelle noted the pads had already been ruled illegal and inspector Dean Lohuis read the rule in alleged violation: "The use of water or any liquid or material on any part of the hand wrap is strictly prohibited."

Margarito's attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, had another inspector acknowledge that, "There didn't seem to be foul play on the part of Margarito. He didn't show me anything to show me he knew what was going on."

Margarito is taking the stand now.

 

Why haven't they sent the "pad" to a lab to determine exactly what it is?

 

Maybe it's the same wrap/plaster....just test the blood...






seem like Margarito and his lawyer are throwing Capetillo under the bus...::::

 

fucking BOXING!!!! :shit::shit::shit::bangh::bangh::bangh: fucking LA commission had the fucking pads for a MONTH..and they still don't have any results...

 

really? Looked like Salma Hayek

 

yeah that post is at least a 1-2 weeks old....pendejo...:fightme:

 

Antonio Margarito's trainer takes blame for hand-wrapping scandal

Antonio Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo, has essentially fallen on the sword in the hand-wrapping scandal that is playing out during today's hearing in front of the California State Athletic Commission in Van Nuys.

Capetillo just told his attorney that he accidentally implanted inserts into the hand wraps of his boxer.

"I committed a big mistake," Capetillo said. "I don't want this young man [Margarito] to have problems. I'm here to cover any responsibility. I take full responsibility. I committed this innocent mistake."

Capetillo explained he accidentally pulled the insert from his training bag and placed it in Margarito's knuckle wraps on Jan. 24, just before Margarito's fight with Shane Mosley.

The commission has the power to revoke both Capetillo and Margarito's licenses.

??? fuck is an insert?...inserted as inserted..introduce...?

 

How Do U "Accidentally" Wind Up w/PLASTER "Inserts" in your Gym Bag????::....WHY Does Capetillo have them @ ALL???....He's Saying he "Accidentally" Put them on Margarito's Hands, but WHY Do they Even Possess them in the 1st Place???....



REED:dunno:

 

I wonder how much money Margarito offered his trainer to take the full blame. Can Margarito still get suspended?

 

Let make it 10% of every Margarito fight from now on.....
