Margarito's defence is... He didn't know what was in the Wraps??!!!

Antonio Margarito has drawn another capacity crowd after selling out Staples Center Jan. 24 for his unsuccessful world welterweight title defense against Shane Mosley.
This time, a crowded room including boxing promoters Bob Arum, Richard Schaefer and Dan Goossen. They all packed into a state building room in Van Nuys to observe the California State Athletic Commission meeting that will determine if Margarito's tainted hand wraps suspension will be extended.
Margarito's hand wraps were removed before the Mosley fight for containing what state authorities later identified as a "foreign substance."
Margarito, represented by attorney Daniel Petrocelli, will argue the case that he had no knowledge what was contained in his hand wraps, placed upon him by trainer Javier Capetillo, who, like Margarito, is under temporary suspension. An extended suspension could jeopardize plans for Margarito's tentatively scheduled June 13 rematch against Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto.

Oh dear that seems like a poor excuse......

 

I dont think its a poor excuse. I think a good attorney can really nail it into peoples head that he REALLY didnt know.

 

Maybe they can.... like OJ 'didn't' stab his wife to death.

 

if thats true he is throwing capitillo directly under the bus....

forget the bus...


he's throwing capitillo under the monster truck......


who's the liar here... marg or capt

 

They should lift the suspension and simply allow Cotto to wrap rocks in his wraps this time. Fair is fair. Hopefully, Margarito's career will be over when it is said and done.

 

Yeah I wonder if the trainer gets the blame, will he come clean and confess all?!!

 

If the trainer takes the fall it's already been planned, you know it, I know it. Would be a real shitty thing to do but I could see it happeing.

 

If you believe that Tony did'nt know then you're a grade A ****!

Of course he ****ing knew.

 

From all appearances....Capetillo will fall on his sword as he is being pushed under the bus.

The illegality is not in question....the culpability is being assigned.

And who can put on a more stupid and dumb look on their face better
than Margie?

I didn't know what was on the wrappings....they felt hard as bricks though

 

I'm pretty sure that all that was on Margarito's mind was Shane Mosley ... I believe it --

 

Of course you do!!!!

 

It's what was on his hand that was the problem...

 

His only way out is to blame the trainer.
It wont be so bad if he comes back minus the loaded gloves and fights the likes of cotto and cintron .Cotto can fight him on a level playing field..

 

**** id throw my trainer under the bus too for some **** like this!!

 

Thats bull**** if he fought Cotto with loaded gloves, he ****ing beat the **** out of Cotto, and probably won't be coming back the same fighter he once was, they should kick him out of boxing for life.
