Margarito said he would never do anything to dishonor or discredit boxing.

He is talking about his previously clean reputation of having never been accused of cheating. "I was as proud of that reputation as I was of my record in the ring."

He is saying, "I understand you will have questions for me and I will answer them with the truth exactly as I did when I presented myself to the commission in California. I didnt have plater of Paris on my hads as some people have commented incorrectly."

"Before the fight my trainer Javier Capetillo, my former trainer, put a knuckle pad made of gauze on my hand. I learned later the knuckle pad hd something irregular on the inside but I didnt know that truthfully in the moment."

"I never felt anything hard or irregular. Evertthing I felt was that it was a knucklepad that was normal. In that moment I was focused on one thing and that was preparing myself to go out to the fight with Mosley."

A suspension of a minimum of 3 years would have been satisfactory in my view. That puts all fighters on notice.

"If I would have noticed there was something irregular or wrong I would have been the first person to say I can't go out and fight."

"The knuckle pad didnt seem diffent to ones he had put on my hands before."

Either he is trying to play us as so many fiddles, or he is colossally ******. In either case, if the pad did not seem different THIS provides verbal evidence of his cheating in the past.
