Thread: Margarito, Capetillo licenses revoked!

Former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and his trainer Javier Capetillo had their licenses revoked at today’s California State Athletic Commission’s disciplinary hearing. Capetillo testified that he accidentally put illegal pads into Margarito’s hand wraps prior to his bout with Shane Mosley. “I committed a big mistake,” Capetillo said according to the LA Times. “I don’t want this young man to have problems. I’m here to cover any responsibility. I take full responsibility. I committed this innocent mistake.”
Earlier, CSAC Inspector Che Guevara testified that the pad inside Margarito’s hand wraps was “not hard as a rock, but firm and hard.” Inspector Mike Bray testified that there was “a white substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster.” The pads, confiscated by the commission before Margarito’s fight last month with Shane Mosley, are still being tested by the Commission. Margarito and Capetillo are currently on suspension pending the outcome of this case.
Last week, Margarito’s previous opponent Miguel Cotto commented to Fightnews.com on Margarito’s current plight. “Margarito and his team are responsible for their acts,” said Cotto. “If they used the illegal handwraps or not was their decision. If it’s true they will have to face the consequences.”

Truth will come out someday (prob about 30 years or so) , unfortunately no one will give a shit by then and no one will be surprised.

Tony the fraud. Real disapointed in him. Ah well, fukk him. I'm glad he got KNFO!!

Innocent mistake my arse!!

Its sad that any of his good wins will now be under scrutiny for cheating

So i guess it really is true then. Oh well i guess the BASTARD will learn his lesson.

Unforgiveable.

They knowingly put the health of his opponents at serious risk by giving their boy an unfair advantage. Fighters could have been killed.

I am so disappointed in them all ........ his titles should be retrospectively stripped, they should all be banned for life and be fined massively. Margaroto's name should be removed from the history books.

Nobody only does this once and happens to get caught the first time, especially if you are a reigning world champ who was favourite to beat Shane anyway.

If it was a mistake why didnt he come clean right after the fight instead of waiting till now? Also, didnt he say it was just a lot of padding or it was old gauze or something?...Very dissapointing news. Sounds like hes trying to salvage Tonys career now but they are both to blame. I guess now we wait to see what the pads were made of.

I feel sorry for Rashad Holloway who fractured an orbital bone on his face after being hit by a Margarito left uppercut in sparring (This happened when Margo preparing for the Mosley fight)...

Would they stoop so low as to do this for sparring?

Why would Margo use Plaster in sparring?

Heres a picture of Margarito right after the Cotto fight. His wraps look normal too me but I guess we will never know for sure. They dont appear to be illegal or raised more than normal judging from this pic, but who knows they could have flattened out after 11 rounds.

Cotto v Margarito

Thats what Freddie roach was going on about,but that makes zero since.Say what ya want but I sincerly boubt it happened.

WTF happened to Margarito testifying.One minute he was about to and then no reports of what he said His trainer admitted,in an azz backwards fashion to his putting "training pads" in his wraps.What exactly are those?And why do they say in article they are still waiting on results ??I can not take away the mans past and think we can not prove shit as to what might have been then,what next,take every fighter he has trained and trash them also?...but they sure as shit handed them his future and pissed it away.Let him and camp suffer consequences!!!!Feeling pretty fucked up!!!
