WBC: Margarito is innocent!

[JohnnyKickAss]

World Boxing Council President Jose Sulaiman, announced today that the Mexican Federation of Boxing Commissions, the Boxing Commission of Tijuana, and the WBC Offices in Mexico, have agreed to face up together the situation of Mexican fighter, Antonio Margarito, who has had his boxing license revoked (suspended) for a year by the California State Athletic Commission, and defend him; such Commission was one of the Commissions that founded the WBC back in February 1963, and is a Commission with which the organization has had excellent relations and reached agreements of mutual cooperation.
The WBC, founded 46 years ago and formed by people who have vast experience in boxing, can not conceive that a boxer is suspended because of a bandaging, as the only people responsible for it, are the managers, the ones who solely execute such an important responsibility without ever receiving instructions from their fighters on what to use in the bandaging or how to use it. The fighter always trusts his managers widely, and he only extends his hands and moves them the way the manager tells him to do it.
On June 16th, 1982, in the fight between Luis Resto and Billy Collins, in New York, just to give an example from many there are, some banned substance was found in the gloves worn by Resto, who won the fight, and due to that fact, manager Carl “Panama” Lewis was suspended for life, but Luis Resto was not involved at all, and not only that, his win was confirmed as such, without any modification.
WBC President, Jose Sulaiman, in order to confirm or modify his own experience regarding bandaging, as a fighter he used to be in his early youth, and after being in the locker rooms of thousands of bouts throughout his 60 years in boxing and 33 as WBC President, decided to personally call several great champions, being Vitali Klitschko, Larry Holmes, Tommy Hearns, Michael Spinks, Gerry Cooney, Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik Morales, Ruben Olivares, Carlos Zarate, Lupe Pintor, among many others, ALL of whom confirmed without exception, that during their careers they had nothing to do with their being bandaged, and that their managers were exclusively responsible for such action.
Based on the previous facts and many more pieces of evidence that will be obtained, the Mexican boxing authorities, in a very respectful and amicable way, will request the California State Athletic Commission to extend the courtesy of sending all the prescriptive documents of the case, to immediately proceed to submit a respectful but firm appeal against the suspension that Antonio Margarito, who is ABSOLUTELY INNOCENT without a doubt, was placed on; Margarito shall be restored his damaged prestige and dignity.
The World Boxing Council totally rejects the use of materials that illegally alter the bandaging, turning the fists of a fighter into dangerous weapons, as bandaging was instituted to protect the hands of the fighters, and not to hurt the opponent, as it was used in the roman Circus, centuries before Christ; that is why the WBC does hope that, provided such strange matter that the California State Commission (which we congratulate for their intervention) is accusing Margarito´s camp of having used is confirmed, a serious and strong penalty is placed on the one who is to blame, since these degrading stains can not be accepted in the sport of boxing, as they hurt a lot the integrity of the sport of boxing,,,,,,,,, but never placing such suspension on a fighter, Margarito in this case, as he is absolutely innocent, as all boxers throughout history have been.
The fight Margarito vs. Mosley was not sanctioned by the World Boxing Council, but by other organizations, and it could be thought that we are getting into something that is none of our business, but we have been required by the National Federation of Boxing Commissions of the Mexican Republic, also by the Boxing Commission of Tijuana, both affiliated with our organization, as well as by the honorable Mayor of Tijuana, Don Jorge Ramos Hernandez, who we join hoping that this case is addressed within a high-class level with no distinction or discrimination whatsoever, as the World Boxing Council has always solidly been on the fighters´ corner, since its creation 46 years ago. If Luis Resto and many other boxers were treated with justice, why shouldn´t Margarito be treated in the same way??
We hope and demand that a penalty is placed on the guilty one, that must be done, but the fighter, who is the least guilty one, must be totally lifted his suspension, concluded Jose Sulaiman, WBC President.

That's all bollocks.

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

How in the hell did this escape officials who are supposed to oversee each wrapping. Are the officials and other fighters trainers all blind as bats? There's no way margarito should be able to slip anything in his wraps with that many people supposedly watching the wrappings.

I agree, the california state commision needs to take a good look at itself before putting the blame soley on others.

Yeah because it's bullshit, all of it.

If Margo's camp was innocent they would all be fucking crazy with anger. Anyone who was innocent with any self respect would be damn right furious.

I agree. Margacheato just sat there trying to play the victim, and no one bought it.

Fuk Margacheato. He should never be allowed in a ring again, and earn another payday from it. The golden rule of "Cheaters Never Prosper" should come into play with him.

^^ A lot of words that = Bullshit.

[Diane]

Oh, and fuk Jose Sulaiman, the guy is another blowhard, and should keep his mouth shut in issues that don't concern him.

That guy is so fuking corrupt, so he has no fuking room to talk about what happened. He's just pissed because he can't get any money out of Margacheato if he can't fight.



Can you guys tell that I'm still pissed off by all of this.

[Master]

Just a bit. The cotto sis also give it away.

[Macho]

I agree what you are saying Diane , they just try to defend Margaro just by money , their " interest " , and now are trying to play " Technicality " with all that B***S*** with WBC.....................

[Lance Uppercut]

The only fight we know for certain that Margarito did not have load raps was for the Mosely fights. All the others: we will never know.

[SigmaMu]

This is pure an utter bullshiet!

"Luis Resto was not involved at all"

You would only believe this if you have not seen the fight. At the end of the fight, the opposing fighter's corner were telling Luis Resto to remove his gloves because they felt a little heavy and Resto began to protest. Watch the video.

Phuk you Jose Sulaiman you fat tub of lard!

Margarito knows that what Capetillo was doing wasn't right. There is a video in which Tony say's that he has asked Capetillo several times in the past about the wraps and that Capetillo would reply. "Don't worry about the wraps, this is my job." Tony knew, we ain't that dumb and I don't think Tony is that dumb either.

Shame on them both.
