Puerto Rico is a state, You guys are the United States b!tch.
It is not a state either. It is a Commonwealth and US territory just like
American Samoa
Guam
Northern Mariana Islands
U.S. Virgin Islands
Living in Boston.
How about this, Dick? We'll find someone of your approximate size and skill and have the two of you fight. We'll wrap your hands normally and then insert a knuckle pad that has been covered in plaster into your opponents wraps, and then see if you are still willing to step in the ring with him given your assertion it was/is nothing dangerous. If that is not anything dangerous, then you should be perfectly at ease stepping in the ring and going thorugh with the fight, correct? And if it turned out the punches sure did feel alot more solid and hurt more, you would simply attribute that to some other factor...but definitely not the inserts, right?
If you REALLY believe what you are saying, then you shouldnt have any problem fighting someone who did the exact same thing, right? And dont give me some stupid answer like "Im not a boxer so I wouldnt fight him in the first place!"...this is hypothetical.
He doesn't believe his own shit, don't bother.
This news to me id be interested in knowing if he was.Interestingly enough hes got two world champs again on his hands Segura and Vazquez and both look pretty good especially Vazquez.I wonder what will happen in PR when he goes there with Segura to fight Calderon
Capetillo can not go to Puerto Rico and be Segura's trainer because he does not have a license. He would have to reapply for a license.

NO.
The harshest would be a lifetime suspension. Like Resto.
Besides, I know you're Danish, but take my word for it, CA is a joke of a state and a joke of a commission.
There's so many instances where their incompetence has put fighters at risk that for them to stand up there and talk about "safety" is laughable.
Its easily one of the worst boxing states in the Union.
No offense to you but I believe Hauser here.
I'll give you this: The CSAC might have a motive to penalize Marg harshly to divert attention from their own supervisor doing an awful job.
No. It was the harshest. Thomas Hauser:
So as I said it was the harshest penalty possible. I think it would have been a somewhat lesser penalty if it was only 'cotton balls' as suggested by Dick Buttman.
Nah, it was actually the lightest possible penalty. When someone does something serious, they are suspended for life. A la Resto.
No. It was the harshest. Thomas Hauser:
The options available to the California State Athletic Commission ranged from taking no action against Margarito and Capetillo to a fine, suspension, or revocation of their respective licenses (the maximum penalty under law). In the event of revocation, either man would be free to reapply after one year with no guarantee of reinstatement. An irrevocable permanent ban was not an available option.
there was no love lost between the people within the team but Tony and Cap had a strong bond so it was hard to convince Tony that Cap was a bad dude
I shared stories prior to all this about how Cap wasn't the best of people
he is no fall guy. He was the black sheep of the team and always had been
I will say this much the vibe of the team from camps that Cap ran and the one Grandpa ran is like night and day
I always heard that Capetillo was a great motivator and made a really solid handwrap and thus was highly sought after for that reason. Technically he is obviously very limited judging by the way Segura fights.

The question remains: Will Margo pursue litigation against the CSAC?
Cause if he ain't, he can't complain that he was shafted by them and move on.
He admitted guilt and was hardly remorseful when questioned in the hearings.
Its a technicality. Nothing serious though.
If they would've put cotton balls that would be illegal too. The pads he put on the wraps were harmless.
Like cotton balls, but made of gauze instead of cotton.
The CSAC is a joke of an organization.
LOL. Marg got suspended for having cotton balls.

Cotton balls? I don't know from where you got that piece of strange info. Anyways it doesn't matter. The wraps was illegal and the CSAC gave Margarito the harshest penalty they could give which was a one year ban. I think it would have been a somewhat lesser penalty if it was only 'cotton balls'.
WTF man? You on your period today or what?
I'm not asking you to give me specifics about detailed conversations, I'm trying to see if you can give a general character evaluation of the guy that would justify your claim that he's "shady"...
If general terms are still too much for you, then you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place.
Yes. Because they watched him wrap the hand and didn't define it as "illegal" until Richardson started mouthing off about it.
Everyone wraps hands different in boxing.
brought what up? that you're a moron who still believes Capetillo was somehow wronged in this
are you kidding?
did you not see the pics of the pads? lotion my ass it flaked
conversations about some of the things that pertained to what went on in camp. A lot of disareement over how Tony was being treated, about how Cap ran his camp etc etc. Is that general enough for you?
Yes. Because they watched him wrap the hand and didn't define it as "illegal" until Richardson started mouthing off about it.
Everyone wraps hands different in boxing.
Regardless of the circumstances of the discovery the facts remain: The wraps was illegal. This is not disputed. And there's no way no how the CSAC can be responsible for that.
The California state athletic commission.
They watched Cappy wrap the dudes hands and didn't seem to have any problems with it until Richardson started going ape ****.
.
So it was the CSAC that was responsible for the illegal wraps in your opinion?
Well, someone had to take the fall.
But the caper was nothing major. CSAC is a bogus commission overstating the case to appear competent and to justify their existence.
Sparring permits??
lol... gtfo CSAC..
just because some people do not know the law, it does not mean that it does not exist.
Have you ever heard this saying?
Ignorantia juris non excusat or Ignorantia legis neminem excusat (Latin for "ignorance of the law does not excuse" or "ignorance of the law excuses no one"
