Margarito Suspended !!!Trainer Javier Capetillo also suspended

[kingfrnk]

if Margaritos is found guilty then let him rot in whatever punishment is given...if he is not suspend Nazim Richardson and make sure he issues a public apology to Margarito and his trainer.

apology for what?? Nazim doesnt do that to everybody so far he has only done it to Tito and Margarito. its obvious something was up he had to wrap his hand 3 fukkin times.

Surprisingly the two fighters he suspected were coincidentally fighters that could have on any given day beaten his fighter. Tito was favored to beat B-Hop and likewise was Margo.

as far as the wraps, the reason they were rewrapped three times was not because of this plaster stuff, this is from Ring Magazine's article:

Shortly before the fight was set to begin, Naazim Richardson, Mosley’s astute trainer, was doing his duty by watching carefully as Javier Capetillo, Margarito’s trainer, wrapped the hands of his fighter.

At first, Richardson complained that Capetillo was taping too far down Margarito’s wrist and a commission official made him re-tape it several times. Then, when it came time to place a protective gauze pad over the fighter’s knuckles, Richardson felt it and could tell immediately that it was harder than usual.


Also, Robert Olvera, Mosley’s doctor, reportedly noticed a flaky substance on the pads that reminded him of the plaster doctors use to make casts.

“From there, I said, ‘Listen, this isn’t cool,’” Richardson said.

The pads were impounded by the California State Athletic Commission, which is conducting an investigation

No where does it say that "a plaster substance fell out of the wrap" as one poster was implying on here, or that he had to rewrap specifically because of this substance.

At this point I dont know what I am hoping for more, that Margo didnt have anything and it was a ploy by Richardson or that Margo did have it and Richardson was stating the obvious.

They did take some evidence from whatever it was that fell out his glove that is suppose to be some kinda plaster. We will find out soon i guess but if it is true then his whole career is tarnished IMO.

what was taken was the wrap, regardless of the outcome it will not be good for his record. Thats why I am almost hoping that he did have something because if not it was Richardson who put this on him.

Um why would you hope he did have something in his wraps . thats bad for any fighter and the sport as well.

heres a link of the stuff they found. it said it was two peices of gauze in each of the gloves or something like that. anyway heres the first paragraph alond with the link.

When the wraps were cut off to be rewrapped, officials found what was deemed a "plaster-like substance" in the wraps. Two pieces of gauze, one in each glove, allegedly had the substance on them.

Gotta pay the price the trainer too if he knew it was happenin.
I hate cheaters

Also was it Richardson or Bouie Fisher who spotted the handwrap thing in the Trinidad fight? I always thought it was Fisher. Actually scratch that it was definitely Fisher who insisted on them re-wrapping

[Spicoli]

I'm waiting for the official undeniable findings and report,I agree with the temp suspension,ecspecially of head trainer...pending such.Loyalties must not over shadow proven facts and rules.Can you say 'conflicted'?I do however find the initial pile on and speculative broad tearing down of a mans character & career pretty damn f!!!!ked up!!

[:::PSL:::]

Both of 'em could do time in prison.

I too was really becoming a big fan of Margarito. But I would not be so bias as to ignore this horrible act just because I am a fan. Some people just won't let themselves get it. This is the worse crime in boxing. People die without loading your wraps. This greatly heightens hurting someone permanently maybe unto death. Despicable. If convicted he needs banned. A message must me sent to everyone that boxing will not tolerate this and the fighter's safety is the biggest concern.

Well said.....I'm a huge fan but I'm no fanboy and if this has been happening before now then shame on him; what else can you say? Not my place to convict the guy and I don't want to totally discredit all his successes but I will like to see how this all pans out....
