seriously this is some ****ed up ****...i dont know how anyone can side with the commision on this, especially after seeing the hearing live yesterday......but whatever, cowards follow cowards
First, it wasn't "all over the gauze." Unless you are just using a bit of hyperbole, which we all do, you're off base. My view of the Margarito situation is pretty simple. The prosecution had a responsibility to prove Tony guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." They have done a shitty job. Margo's defense team had a responibility to exonerate Tony. They did a shitty job. I dislike the way this thing has been handled from beginning to end.
I'm also unimpressed, but the guy was busted. At the time of the dicovery the CSAC should said, "we checked it out those wraps are fine, go ahead and use them." Or they should have said, "these things are loaded, hand em' over. We are calling off this fight right now, and find out what is up with the wraps." The fact that the fight went on is pretty lame considering the magnitude of what has happened since then. Talk about having their cake and eating it.
exactly...it's either or, i mean you can't stand on the fence and just assume the other party knew.... either take it all the way and jail the mother****er, or stfu and quit playing games with this man...... "come back next year" WTF :-(
Apparently The CSAC wasn't too happy with Margo sparring in Cali without a liscense, denying any culpiblity, twirling his fists around, and laughing after his fight in Mexico, I believe Margo also sued the CSAC as well. I don't think Arum is all that surprised that the CSAC basically told Margo to go **** himself.
arum dont really care...i mean, the fight was never gonna take place in cali anyways, margo is just trying to do whats right...but arum knows the fight will go on..... as far as cali, it was a ****en pathetic joke the way they handled that hearing....and a license to spar ???? wtf, you can go to any gym in cali and find many pros if not all that dont know **** about it....if the csac really cared about that, why aint they raiding gyms in the l.a. area which is where most pro's from cali come out of
This is not only proof that you've never boxed, but you just blew up how the boxing fraternity sticks together with this one lol... Fighters don't look away all the time while being wrapped. It is fools like you who think that there is one fighter who can slip through the cracks and get away with saying that "they never knew" that their trainer tried to cheat. You are one of the worst posters here, and should be banned just for posting this post lol...
You have the nerve to act as if you have ever boxed before, many professionals have also admitted to the possibility that he did not know... it is possible if its possible for Mosley to not know he used roids anything is possible right? if its possible that you really did win a world title anything is possible, knowing that you didnt win a world title much less ever box, we do know this, The DA Never pressed formal charges against neither man I wonder why:think its good to see your ***** ass still round Champ~:good
The CSAC has been under fire the last few years especially when it was discovered that our amatuer program out here was hosting private shows in which kids were fighting for money, and drinks and gambling was taking place as well.... The CSAC is simply trying to re create their image and Margarito is the perfect scape goat to do this with.... I agree if he knew what he was doing he shouldnt be allowed to fight anywhere but I dont beleive he did know.... he served his time did not fight in mexico when he could have in other words respected not only the CSAC but the sport as a whole in not fighting for that year, that to should count for something.
Of course it wasn't, but Texas is going to look pretty bad if they grant Margarito a liscense. They may do it anyway, but it would have been a slam dunk had Cali granted the liscense.
The problem with his penalty is that he really didn't serve his time. His liscense was straight up revoked. There's no timeframe for when you are allowed to fight again when that happens. The only timeframe that is applicable, is that you have to wait a year before you can even try to get your liscense. It's basically like saying that someone with a life sentence has served their time in jail just because they are up for parole. We all know that's not the case. I'm not even going to bother giving my opinion as to whether or not he should be liscensed as it's irrelevant. However, The CSAC had every right to deny Margo's request and they did. As a result, it's possible that no one in the U.S will liscense him now. Time will tell though.
ABC statement on Margarito To: Association of Boxing Commission Members From: Tim Lueckenhoff, President Jim Erickson, 1st Vice President Greg Sirb, 2nd Vice President A. E. “Buddy” Embanato, Treasurer Joe Miller, Secretary Date: August 19, 2010 Re: Antonio Margarito In the matter of the Antonio Margarito case the Association of Boxing Commissions, (ABC), officers were pleased that Mr. Antonio Margarito did indeed appear before the California State Athletic Commission, (CSAC), for licensure, the ABC had maintained since the beginning of this matter that Mr. Margarito should seek a hearing with CSAC. The ABC was also pleased that other member commissions held firm against licensing Mr. Margarito until he could appear before CSAC since they were the original disciplining commission. The ABC believes that the CSAC did their due diligence in conducting a fair an impartial hearing and should be commended for laying out the facts and findings surrounding this matter. At this time Mr. Margarito has fulfilled his obligations per the ABC (which was to appear before the CSAC before applying for licensure to another state/tribal commission in the United States) and thus he is now free to pursue licensure with any ABC member commission. There is nothing under the federal law that would prohibit consideration for licensure. The ABC would hope that each ABC member commission would examine the facts that have been laid out by the CSAC and weigh those facts in determining if Mr. Margarito should indeed be licensed to compete in their jurisdiction.
:rofl That POS should be thankful he wasn't locked up for what he did, it is a felony to enter the ring with loaded wraps.
