Re: Margarito, Capetillo licenses revoked!
I doubt that he will fight in Mexico because if he does, that will badly impact his chances of getting his liscence approved. He may well be done for good, as there is no assurance his revocation will be overturned in a year. He has broken my heart, as I always viewed him a great pressure fighter but the shine is gone now. I have moved him aside --and maybe for good. Yes, there is an appeal and yes there is a possible action in the courts, but that would only prolong the misery. At the end of the day, the fighter is in charge of his corner (though I do question the wisdom of that principle) and so he must accept responsability whether intent was present or not. He owns it plain and simple and what he owns is an iinfraction that is the very worse one in boxing. That all said, however, I will make note that it is always easy to kick a man when he is down or to pile on with the mob mentality. That is not what I am doing here. I have no pity or excuses for Antonio or his manager, and I think we the fans are the ones who really were hurt by this. In short, we were betrayed. He was wrong and now he should and will pay the piper. If that means a life ban, so be it. That's the way justice is supposed to work.
