And one of Margarito’s sparring partners, Rashad Hollaway, told an even more damning story to Ryan ******** of BoxingScene.com about a Dec. 19 sparring session with Margarito in which he was seriously injured by a left uppercut thrown by Margarito.
“When it first happened, I didn’t know what hit me,” Hollaway told ********. “I’ve been hit 50 million times in my career, but I’d never been hit with a shot that hurt like that. It felt like a hard object hit me in the face. I thought he hit me with the palm of his hand. It wasn’t like a normal punch. It didn’t feel like a padded glove hit me. It was like a solid, hard impact. It felt like I had been hit with a bag of rocks.”
The credibility of both Margarito and Capetillo has to be questioned upon hearing that. Hollaway’s comments to ******** make their denials of intentional wrongdoing to the commisison on Tuesday sound as if they’re simply trying to save themselves.
