Margarito, Capetillo licenses revoked!

[JohnnyKickAss]

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!!

[mofo2]

Innocent mistake my arse!!

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

[kingfrnk]

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 don't get it, what was the punchline?

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?
