Margarito, Capetillo licenses revoked!

[Kirkland Laing]

You just know that there's going to be a Cotto-Margarito rematch now. Plenty of storylines there to sell the fight, aren't there? After the first fight I said no way ever there's a rematch, but it's funny how things turn out isn't it? It'll be an absolutely huge PPV event provided both guys stay unbeaten till it happens. I bet about five minutes after Margarito's ban ends it gets made.

I've heard both that Arum is discussing fights for Margarito in Mexico till his ban ends and also that Arum can't be involved in promoting him anywhere during the ban or Arum will get banned too. Does anybody know which of these versions is correct?

Rematch ? who would want to see Margarito in a boxing ring again ? certainly not me. I picked him to beat cotto in their fight, but always wondered how the hell Cotto got busted up like that. i always wondered. This guy should never have the priveledge of stepping into a boxing ring again.

I'm guessing one or two people might order it on HBO. Thanks to Tony's innovative handwrapping techniques they've now got some serious plotlines they can sell the fight with.

Guys, remember that he's banned for AT LEAST 1 year. He would have to reapply for a license and they could very well deny him. Also, they could take further action next month when they finally discover exactly what the substance is that he used.

I have to say also, I still find it implausible that he was getting away with this on a regular basis. If so, then the commissions are completely incompetent and are just as much to blame. And if it were that easy, that would lead me to believe that there must be other fighters doing the same thing.

I agree 100% with your post.

I while hold my judgement till i know the substance i cant belive i got to wait even longer to know what he was using o well somthing to think about did they say it was going to be march when we find out does anyone know or have they not made a date for it yet just asking.

I honestly dont think they will ever be able to identify 'it'.Nothing definative or known or they would have most assuradly released description and called it earlier.Reading Capetillos testimony...he stated it was a pad removed from a training pad??Then I read one lawyer say he accidentaly re used some second hand wrap from another of his fighters?Hey,I can walk into my bathroom and stare at the wall..."Yep,thats plaster".Might need Oliver stone on this one.

- The pad/insert is illegal

- It's wet then it's illegal

Even if the powder is only talcum powder, that pad alone inside the gloves might possibly cause serious injuries to opposing boxers. That's grave offense...

One year ban is not enough as punishment...
