    I want people to use common sense the fight was not close it was a clear win for PBF. To suggest anything else is ridiculous. You said the other day that Oscar beat PBF so I don't know why you're now changing your tune. Also PBF didn't go through with the rematch because Oscar still wanted the lion's share of the purse and PBF told him to **** off, that's why the rematch didn't happen.
    Like I said being a hater is far worse than the other.

    Not what Capetillo himself admitted at the hearing, moran.

    "Capetillo admitted that the confiscated pads violated the applicable rules, and acknowledged that had they been used, they could have seriously injured Margarito's opponent."

    The Commission found that forensic analysis showed the knuckle pads had been adulterated with a white plaster-like substance.

    Margo himself admitted the pads felt hard to the touch. Then tried to put all the blame on his trainer.
    Didn't work.

    So, give it a rest,

    Both admitted their guilt.

    That's why they didn't appeal.

    But still, the good news is that now you can go back worshiping your other POS hero, Chris Kyle.



    "Before the contest with Mosley, Capetillo was wrapping Margarito's hands while four Commission inspectors and Mosley's trainer observed the process. After Capetillo finished wrapping Margarito's right hand, Mosley's trainer asked the inspectors to physically inspect a pre-made gauze "knuckle pad" insert that Capetillo was about to wrap over Margarito's left hand. The inspectors found that the inner layers of the pad were discolored and that the pad felt harder than it should have. In a report prepared after the inspection, Commission Inspector Che Guevara (Guevara) described the gauze pad removed from Margarito's left hand as "dirty-looking" and smeared with a white substance that looked like plaster and was hard to the touch. Concluding that the pad violated the rules, the inspectors confiscated the pad and instructed Capetillo to prepare a new one.
    Mosley's trainer then asked the inspectors to examine the gauze insert in Margarito's already
    wrapped right hand. Margarito insisted there was nothing in the right hand wrapping, and held his hand out saying, "Touch it. Feel it. Go ahead. There is nothing in it" . The inspectors ordered the wrapping removed and found a similar improperly hardened pad, which they confiscated. After Capetillo prepared two new knuckle pads, the inspectors approved Margarito's hand wraps and allowed Margarito to proceed with the boxing match.
    In a letter dated January 27, 2009, the Commission notified Margarito that his boxing license was temporarily suspended pending a final determination of the case. The Commission explained the reason for the suspension as follows:
    This action is taken because of your recent participation in what appears to be a violation of rule 323.
    Rule 323 limits the use of gauze and tape on an athlete's hands and requires that both contestants be represented while the gauze and tape are applied. The rule also prescribes the manner in which the gauze and tape is applied to an athlete's hands. Here, it appears that a foreign substance was used in the hand-wraps in violation of Rule 323. Additionally, Commission rule 390 allows the commission to revoke, fine, suspend or otherwise discipline any licensee who 'conducts himself or herself at anytime or place in a manner which is determined by the Commission to reflect discredit to boxing:
    The Commission set a formal hearing on the matter for February 10, 2009.

    3. Administrative Hearing

    At the February 10, 2009 hearing, Commission Inspectors Guevara, Dean Lohuis (Lohuis), and Mike Bray (Bray) all testified that they felt the knuckle pads Capetillo initially placed in Margarito's hand wraps before the Mosley fight and that the pads felt harder than al lowed by the applicable rules and were confiscated.
    This content is protected

    The commissioners at the hearing inspected one of the pads that had been confiscated from
    Margarito's hand wraps and compared it to the soft gauze that is used to wrap a boxer's hand before a contest The other confiscated pad was sent to the Department of Justice's forensic laboratory for evaluation, where it was photographed under a microscope at six times magnification. The photographs were presented as evidence at the hearing.
    At the conclusion of the hearing, all seven commissioners voted unanimously to revoke Margarito's license.

    4. The Commission's Decision
    In a written decision issued on March 31, 2009, the Commission found that the knuckle pads removed from Margarita's hand wraps before the Mosley fight on January 24, 2009, had been adulterated with a white plaster-like substance. The Commission concluded that the use of adulterated knuckle pads by a boxer seriously endangers the boxer's opponent and gives the boxer an unfair advantage that causes discredit to boxing. The Commission further concluded that "because [Margarito] violated Commission Rule 323, there is sufficient cause for revocation of [Margarito's] boxing license . . .
    The Commission rejected Margarito's argument that he could not be held responsible for violating rule 323 because he did not know that Capetillo had inserted the illegal pads into his hand wraps and noted that"[t)he Commission's laws and rules, enacted to protect public health and safety, do not require either knowledge or intent for a violation to occur:' The Commission stated: "Because of the serious physical consequences which could have resulted to the other boxer from the use of boxing gloves loaded with illegal knuckle pads, the appropriate penalty is revocation.

    That's what I've been saying for years but you never can get a clear answer out of Margo fans. People like CJ especially will just say Margo was set up and blame the CSAC.

    And people are on here commenting that they feel so sorry for Margarito's legacy. Cintron had a promising career and he ruined him. That is foul. Why defending an obvious cheat? His punching power was nil after he was caught loaded. He didn't sue because his handlers knew that he wouldn't win and that would make the situation look worse.

    The Balco situation was way behind Mosley when he fought Margarito.

    Unfortunately the facts do not fit your statement
    1. Which fighter paid the other fighter a settlement for making unfounded slanderous comments pertaining to PEDS?
    2. How many fights in Floyd's career required him to take an intravenous injection that was banned under World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines?
    3. Do you know why the intravenous injection is banned? No worries, I'll help you out.

    Because they can be used to "dilute or mask the presence of another substance."

    As far as the beating you are referring to, Floyd's corner man said the following to little Floyd

    “You fighting like you scared, man!”
    Does any of the above facts match the nonsense in your post?

    Now will you please explain to me this.......
    If this utter BS what youve typed out here was in any way true WHY didnt the CSAC indict both Tony & Javier & drag them into court. IF this was a true account I'd be the first to demand both be banned & indicted but its just another load of Bull Feces The used pads were NEVER hard even 2 months after the fight occured. The lab that tested them deemed them HARMLESS !!!!What the white substance was on the pad was HUMAN SWEAT!!!!!
    Now for Heavens sake give it up , be a man& just admit youre only doing this because Tony exposed your hero for a CHEATING LITTLE FRAUD !!!!!!

    Doesnt alter the fact he blatantly cheated with Ped's but claimed innocence swearing he'd passed a polygraph test on it. Then BALCO turned up with receipts with his name & address on !!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOM!!!!! GOTCHA !!!!!!!!!!
    He had to come clean & admit it all thats on Youtube too.
    He was juicing throughout his career

    ROFLMAO The CSAC never came out and ACCUSED him of trying to load his gloves. They carefully worded it
    They suspected he MAY have tried to load his gloves
    Was an out & out railroading which is why no one involved will talk about it
