Holloway Reflects on Fateful Margarito Sparring Session

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Ryan ******** - Rashad Holloway is one of the many people interested in the findings that the California State Athletic Commission intend to uncover on February 10 pertaining to a "plaster-like substance" that forced trainer Javier Capetillo to re-wrap Antonio Margarito's hands shortly before his January 24 knockout loss to Shane Mosley.

I just can't believe that he would use them in a sparring session, that's ridiculous. This seems like a dude trying to make something out of nothing to be honest....and that's if there even is Tony's wraps.

i thought margarito had done it with a "thumb"........thats what the great Sensational! claimed anyway...........

[FLY TY]

i'm interested in the findings too.....

it'll either be the end of this, or just the beginning.

and the need to have an excuse is lame since the possibility of ever proving it is almost null...........one normal shot can do that to you, **** happens......................

I love it when you call me Sensational, at least you recognize my game.

playing devil's advocate. im not saying margarito did anything. but if he did or his trainer did, do you really think they would try them out for the first time in a live fight with mosley. if they bothered his hands or caused a change in his style then he would be stuck in the ring with shane. if he or his trainer saw they worked well during sparring then they would know he could fight with them in the ring.

This whole situation makes me sick. I was always a Margarito fan, so no one can call me a hater by any stretch. I also know Rashad personally, so I know for a fact that he is as honest as it gets. I wish that none of this was true. I hate to think that someone would purposely endanger someone, but what else am I suppose to think? I'm glad that Ryan did an article on this. Especially since Freddie Roach mentioned this on ESPN this past Friday.

No, but I think that if they used them for the Mosley fight than they've been using them for fights before. IF he's found guilty, I have a hard time believing this was an isolated incident. But still, sparring? That's outrageous.

I can understand using it in real match but in sparring? That's low. But why the hell would they spar wearing no headgear?
