Insider Notebook: More Margarito Gate, Klitschko-Haye

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Robert Morales - Richard Schaefer chose his words carefully. He said he understood completely why Bob Arum went to bat for Antonio Margarito the way he did after Margarito was caught with illegal hand wraps prior to his Jan. 24 loss to "Sugar" Shane Mosley in Los Angeles.

Schaefer intimated that Golden Boy Promotions, of which he is CEO and Mosley is a partner, would have done the same thing for one of its fighters.

Schaefer even suggested during a telephone conversation Tuesday that Margarito's trainer, Javier Capetillo, was likely more to blame than Margarito for the plaster-like inserts that were found in Margarito's wraps.

At the same time, Schaefer did not seem to have a problem with Margarito getting the same punishment as Capetillo. Both had their licenses revoked by the California State Athletic Commission a week ago Tuesday for a minimum of one year - which basically means Margarito won't be able to fight in the U.S. for at least one year. To be clear, the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act contains a rule that states no commission can allow a fighter to compete in its jurisdiction while under suspension in another. [details]

Hopkins is still crying about how he beat Calzaghe... so what...

Bad stuff for Margarito anyway... if he knew we don't have to talk about it... but for me personally if he says he doesn't know that there was something illegal in his wraps it means that he must have had it all the time inside his wraps... in every fight probably... so this is bad it doesn't matter how you turn it

Why wasn't Paul Williams hurt by that plaster?

Clottey didnt even look like he had been in a fight.

We can't say for sure he was cheating all along or even against Cotto.

klits vs haye should have a way better chance of getting made now that Richard is in control and booth is out of the way

You're a ***** moron dude, seriously. Every single time I read a comment from u is all trying to hide or justify Margarito's stand in all this mess. Is like u don't know what else to talk about.

On this comment, read what u just wrote. Clottey lasted 12 rounds to a decision where margo broke a record for most shots thrown in a bout of 12 rounds. Then he fought Williams, same things 12 rounds. BOTH walked out of the fight and where all ok, no swelling out of the ordinary. Difference is that Williams beat him.

Then comes along Golden Johnson, 1st round KO. Followed by Kermit, beat up to ****(again). THEN COTTO, LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HIT HIM WITH A SHOVEL IN THE FACE BY THE END OF IT.

Then comes Shane, the loaded gloves comes in, it's discovered, the fight continues. His devastating power disappears again.

U don't see that out of context somehow? He loaded his gloves after his loss and if u don't see that, u are nothing but what i like to call a Marga******.

It also seems that he has used loaded gloves before for some other fights, because blowing someones ear off from a punch is no easy task.

He can't see the truth because Plasterito balls are in the way.

[Scott9945]

LOL at Goossen saying that Arreola-Toney would sell out the Staples Center. Nobody can shovel **** like Goossen, except for maybe Don King.

Well maybe if ringside seats were $20...
