Gov, Arnold Schwarznegger: "Team Margarito is going to pay for cheating.

[Sin City]

Not looking good for Margarito.. he may be banned for life!!


On a side not: The thread starter is a pathetic loser who fails at life.
I can't believe someone is that hatefull and pathetic to not only make a screen name about margo but post none stop about him and what happened.

Everytime I come on the scene he is still here and talking about the same ****.. get a life dude, seriously!!

I know how you feel
Some people are just haters

Please keep politicians out of boxing. They've screwed up enough of the world as it is.

McCain, *****, Schwarznegger. I don't care about any of you. Stay out of sports. Period.

Margocheato Heats Up, HBO Buys 1983 Glove Tamper Scandal Docu!
Michael Marley
2/1/2009

Margocheato, not Margarito. While the Internet forums are rife with speculation and innuendo about the Antonio Margarito-Shane Mosley “loaded gloves” controversy, interest in cheating in boxing is high.

Which explains why HBO has bought the rights to producer Eric Drath’s documentary “Cornered,” which replays and reexamined the 1983 Madison Square Garden fight between Billy Collins Jr. and Luis Resto.

Trainer Carlos “Panama” Lewis removed all the padding from Resto’s gloves, turning his boxer’s fists into brass knuckle type weapons. Collins was savagely beaten during the fight and, when it was discovered how the Resto camp had cheated, Lewis and Resto were banned from boxing for life. The duo also did short bids in an upstate New York prison the name of which was, appropriately, the Collins Penitentiary.

Veteran trainer Artie Curley was also in Resto’s dressing room and corner. It is my belief that he knew what Lewis did but said nothing before or after the criminal act.

In an interview for Drath’s documentary, Resto admitted that he and Lewis doctored gloves for other bouts.

What’s been lost in the shuffle since 1983 is something I know for a fact. I was at the Garden that night and the two NYSAC officials who were supposed to inspect Resto’s gloves before never did so. One of the two was drunk while “on duty” at the card. Both men are now dead.

The California State Athletic Commission continues to probe the “hardened” wrappings which were removed when Mosley trainer ****m Richardson blew the whistle to inspectors. Reports have likened the some of the wrapping material as being similar to plaster.

Meanwhile, a veteran Nevada commission official tells B0xingConfidential that California believes it has the goods on being Margarito and chief trainer Javier Capetillo being bad.

“I’ve spoken to some people over there,” the Nevada source said. “They are going to bring the hammer down on these guys. It doesn’t help the Margarito team’s situation that Gov, Schwarznegger was sitting at ringside. At the end of the day, the governor feels that it’s his commission and he wants any wrongdoers held accountable.”

The CSAC will begin a hearing on the matter Feb. 10.

The best outcome I can see for Margarito is if Capetillo tells the commission he was the cheater and that the fighter did not know what was going on.

California is looking, and rightfully so, to suspend and fine someone. If Capetillo plays fall guy, I think Margarito will receive lighter punishment or even possibly escape any interruption of his ring career.

I can't believe this writer and alot of other people are questioning whether Margarita knew what was going on, of course he did!

How many of y'all have fought in the amateurs or in pro club circuits. Tell me, outside of your trainers using tape & gauze, what else do you f**kin' need? I know the guy that wraps De La Joto's hands, uses some rope looking fabric. but really tape & gauze is all there's to it.

No question about it, Margarita was in on this **** and God knows how long that ugly f**k has been pulling this crap. He should have his American citizenship revoked, and never see a day in America for the rest of his stinking f**kin' life.

I mean, the guy was born in good ole US of A and refuses to speak english. If he's so hell bent on showing his so-called Mexican pride by not speaking english, then maybe he should no longer be allowed to make a living by earning the almighty dollar. How does 50,000 pesos a fight sound to you Margarita?

Put him on "The Running Man"?

Hiliarious man, hilarious!

I live in Cali and our state is in debt. We're gonna fine the **** outta Tony and his team!!!

[Edward Hitler]

i find it funny that as soon as someone speaks out it instantly resorts to oh he hates mexicans or whites or blacks i dont think arnie hates anyone except sly stalone and ppl who cheat and rightly so what would ppl be saying if margarito had cheated and killed mosley or left him brain damaged it would be a different story all together ... i watched a tv programme last night and a black guy said " theres all this race hate in the world if we skinned everyone alive no1 would know what race anyone was were all the same race the human race its that simple". and i fully agree.

[RL_GMA]

I'm not defending Margo. I'm simply telling Cotto fans that bashing Marg only makes Cotto look worse.

Not necessarily...

I think it's more of people looking down at Margarito and his camp for even trying to use some illegal substance more than him just beating Cotto.

But, If and when the results show that he indeed used Plaster of some sort, you can't sit there and say the Boxing world won't look at Cotto vs Margarito completely different regardless of the result.

Common sense shows if he was caught this time, it wasn't the 1st time he used it. Just like a baseball player who's caught using a corked bat. Is that REALLY the 1st time he used a corked bat or the 1st time he was CAUGHT using a corked bat. Same logic here.

[Pullcounter]

lol the governator will take down capetillo

[Edward Hitler]

after the hook that cammel took off conan they shud put him in the ring with arnie thats if they find him guilty of cheating
