ESPN's Dan Rafael on Antonio Margarito situation

[rob6465]

You might, but I would love to see it, once Cotto beats Pac. He can probably do the same to Margarito.

But I understand on what you are trying to emphasize on, that Marg's a cheater and he should be at the bottom of the pit.

However these articles are just getting old, and the rematch is the only way to settle it.

Nah, I want to see both.

Yea, you are right, especially after all these postings from Cotto and pacman fans. Funny but if it's a tight fight, floyd might end up retiring and not getting none of these spotlights.

[Mr. Fantastic]

And bitches like you crying!!!!!!

Look who's talking. I'm not the one still sore from a year ago.

[Nuurzhaelan]

Rafael has a point.

Margocheato and Capetillo are 2 ****in cheaters.

yes, but the margacheato knob polishers will go 'he's allowed to hang out with anyone he wants; that's not proof of guilt; still can't prove that margarito knew anything!'

It's sickening. This ******* (margacheato) should be in jail along with his crap trainer.

[Mr. Fantastic]

im starting to think all capetillo fighters cheat.......look at soto-karass, sometimes he struggles mightily with bums, then sometimes he knocks good fighters like estrada out...

giovanni segura cheated in the rematch versus Canchilla.....wouldnt put it past him to cheat in any other way...like plaster gloves..........

I don't think Segura cheated in the 2nd fight. I think it has to do more with the ****ty ref.

Canchilla should be the champion right now cause it looked to me Segura was already tired in the early rounds, same as the first fight.

Completely agree with Rafael.

How anyone can defend Capetillo and Margarito is beyond me. I was willing to give Margarito the benefit of the doubt, but to hear that he is still socialising with this piece of **** shows his true colours.

So lets say you're close to a person and that person makes a mistake. Are you going to stop talking to that person you love?? I highly doubt it.


I don't like it but Capetillo is a father figure to him. Its not easy to let **** like that go.

"If Antonio Margarito wants to get his boxing license back in the United States, he sure is going about it the wrong way. While I was watching Top Rank's "Latin Fury 10" pay-per-view Saturday night, I saw Javier Capetillo in the dressing room preparing junior flyweight titlist Giovanni Segura, who would go on to successfully defend his belt in the co-feature. Capetillo, of course, is the disgraced trainer banned in the United States because he loaded Margarito's hand wraps with an illegal plaster-like substance before a January fight with Shane Mosley in Los Angeles. The cheating was caught before the fight started and Margarito was forced to have his hands re-wrapped. Later, Margarito and Capetillo both had their licenses revoked in California for the egregious infraction.

Segura's fight took place in Mexico, where Capetillo is allowed to work because Mexican officials wrongly do not recognize license revocations in the U.S. I can't blame Capetillo for continuing to work where he is allowed. But what was really disconcerting was that Margarito was with Capetillo in Segura's dressing room. He was also with the trainer and boxer in the ring before and after the fight. Margarito hopes to reapply for a license when he is allowed to early next year, and will have to go before the California commission at that point for another hearing.

If Margarito truly didn't know that Capetillo had loaded his hand wraps, as he claims, wouldn't he be angry at Capetillo? Don't you think he'd be keeping his distance? Don't you think he would have dumped him by now for trying to cheat, causing his license to be revoked and severely damaging his career?

Instead, Margarito is still with Capetillo, making it even more difficult to believe his weak story that he didn't know what the trainer was doing. If I'm on the California commission and responsible for deciding whether Margarito gets his license back, the scene of him being so chummy with Capetillo certainly disappoints me, erodes any shred of credibility his story has and makes it difficult for me to vote in favor of relicensing him. By hanging around with Capetillo, Margarito is sending the wrong message to California regulators, as well as many of the folks who would like to give him the benefit of the doubt but find it almost impossible."

LOL...I love this self righteous butterball prick preaching about morality.

He doesn't even understand the situation to comment on it.

I wanna fight Dan the marshmallow man and Knock him out!!

'a mistake'...?? The man didn't wear hot pants in minus temperatures, that is a mistake.

Capetillo deliberately used a plaster substance to harden his fighters gloves and in the process increasied the risk of injury to the opposing fighter. So yes, I would stop talking to that person, because it would be clear to me that that person is a ****ing ****.

No he didn't, he put a training pad in his glove.

Not plaster.

Big difference.

A pad (which is soft) only constitutes an infraction under CSAC rules.

There was never any plaster found.

And don't even get me started on the chain of custody regarding the wraps.

So its fighters now?? lol

I'm willing to bet if your dad were to do some shaddy **** to you, you would forgive him, that's if you are really close to your dad.

Lets not forget the wraps were unsupervised in Mosley's locker room and Mosley has been known to cheat prior to Margarito. But its ok cause Mosley is American.
