    The worst part is this "ban" was just a slap on the wrist, he's only "banned" from fighting in America but not anywhere else and Mexico has welcomed him with arms wide open to fight there. What kind of a "ban" is that?

    that's a huge taint on margo's career and legacy. in any case, justice should be meted out.

    There's no universal boxing commission. Therefore, Mexico does not have to abide by the ruling of the California State Athletic Commission.

    From my understanding, neither got a year, they were suspended indefinitely with the ability to appeal the suspension in one year's time. I don't think Capetillo will ever be allowed to train in the US again, but I'm cynical enough to think that Tony's ban will be lifted in a year.

    If OJ got away with murder and Michael Jackson with ****, then Margarito will get away with this.

    They could charge him with Attempted Manslughter for one, he easily could have serously hurt/killed sombody.

    There's not enough evidence for a charge like that to stick. Had they caught Margo after the fight, and had Margo inflicted serious damage on Mosley then they possibly could've charged him with attempted manslaughter. As it stands, I don't believe went through far enough with the act to warrant an attempted charge of anything; especially manslaughter.
