Margarito's Suspension Might Get Reversed

[Eaner0919]

I agree, but at the same time, you gotta see where it comes from : Boxing has always been a very Nationalistic sport. People root for those they identify with : Whether if it's for their racial makeup, the Country they were born in, or what have you.

I root for everybody who comes from Philadelphia because I identify with that. I came from there myself, and I love the City's history and tradition of boxing.

Same way Mexicans do with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans with Puerto Ricans, Brits with Brits, Pinoys with Pinoys, etc........

The problem only comes when you only root for those guys.

but at the same time while I do know where this is rooted in at some point in time shouldn't there be a level of maturity?

I mean yeah there are simply going to be people who hate on people for not being them (Mexican, PR, etc) but since we are all smart enough to find this board and smart enough to post there has to be some level of intelligence to know that its not the nationality that solely makes the fighter.

meh it won't change but it is indeed a shame good discussions go into who can insult who the most threads

By the time this get's reversed by an appeal, the year suspension will be over. Arum is just trying to cause doubt and is trying to get Margarito to fight in Mexico. I think Arum is making a big mistake here and if the verdict is over turned, you can bet that Mosley's lawyer will file a counter appeal which might do even more damage to Margarito's career. Arum should leave it alone before he makes the matter worse.

ohhhhhhhhhh

so margie only had a little bit of

[larry x]

yea right...hope you dont believe that

[Da Hammer]

Man all i want is for us to get the truth one day soon!!!!!! Whether he is fully guilty, fully innocent, whatever just the truth-facts!!!! Not anyone's opinion!!! But we probably will never know because there might not be a way. Nobody is gonna believe Margarito if he claims innocense, of course if he did confess and he was guilty then we would know...

[KILLA RIGHT]

They are gonna try anything to get him out. Whats this cream they are talking about?

We eat that Mexican ass up in the ring!!

Ricans 52 Mexicans 30 now tell me who's been eating what.

Stop :wank: yourself off.

That's alot of bum fights.

Did Williams avenge his loss by a brutal round one KO??? Has Cotto avenged his loss yet?

The rematch was coming this summer, but Margarito got suspended. So yeah... its not really cotto's fault.

“Common hand cream” could have caused the controversy?
“…Read the report. The report says that they have this piece of gauze and they say they found calcium and sodium which is present in plaster paris,” said Bob Arum on Tuesday. “Well, they had the whole ****** piece so they’re not saying it’s plaster of paris. What they didn’t say is that common hand cream that is used by fighters, has sodium and calcium in it. And they said in the report sodium and calcium is in plaster of paris but it’s in a lot of other substances. So that report supports Margarito’s position, doesn’t re-affirm the State’s position. And an appeal will be filed this week and it will be reversed. It has to be reversed.”
Arum continued: “What they did to Margarito was a complete violation of due process. They applied the standard that if you’re the boss, you’re responsible for what your underlings do. Now that is only law in certain areas. If you own a bar and your bartender violates the law, you, as the bar owner, are responsible. Why? Because the bartender is not licensed. You’re licensed. But when you have a trainer and a second and they’re licensed by the State, just as you the boxer is, that doesn’t apply. Yes, if something is wrong, get the wrong-doer but not the guy who is innocent.”
Arum went on some more: “Let’s assume the decision is overpowered, and you then book him in his next fight against the winner of Cotto and Clottey. And you have television cameras and everything in at the wrapping, so you assure that everything is kosher, right? And then if he wins, his reputation is restored.”
To play devil’s advocate, I popped Arum with this question: It’s almost like Margarito’s acting like a guilty guy though, he’s almost gone kind of into hiding.
Arum’s response: “That’s bull****.”
I countered: He hasn’t come out proclaiming his innocence if he’s really innocent. He fired the trainer (Javier Capetillo).
Arum: “That’s not true. That’s not true. You have to understand he is being represented by the best lawyers in Los Angeles. And what he says and doesn’t say is guided by them.
So there you have it. After the controversy from the Shane Mosley hand-wrapping incident before the fight on Jan. 24, Antonio Margarito may soon be next in line for the winner of Cotto vs. Clottey, later in 2009. He might even get his punishment (boxing license suspended for one year on Feb. 11) reversed in the coming weeks after an appeal is filed later this week.

Im sure if it was capetillo and everyone woulda said so. It was flakey already and it was inside the wrap so what they put hand cream inside the wrap now? They woulda said something like i never used plaster and this and that.
