Hypocrisy
This has quickly become a witch trial, where everyone has past judgement and Antonio's word means nothing. Over and over I have read that the substance on the pad was not solid and that it would have PROBABLY hardened as Tony began to sweat. Why was more concrete evidence not produced. Is it not possible that Capetillo sensed that Tony was not the same fighter as the one who took a monstrous beating to beat Cotto? They always claimed a father/son relationship, is it so hard to believe that Capetillo like Mickey from Rocky was doing what he thought he had to do to protect his fighter? I am in no way excusing his actions, which were nefarious, but I believe it is possible that Tony honestly did not notice the difference as he mentally prepared himself to fight a tough opponent. I say license him and give him the chance to prove himself in the ring. Innocent until proven guilty, besides Margo vs Pacquaio sounds like a slugfest to me; better than watching a game of tag.
