Texas On The Take: And The Boxing Emberrassment

[Scott9945]

Giving a license to margarito is no different then if they relicensed resto and the state commission that did it should be discussed.

You're wrong. Resto went out and pounded a guys with loaded gloves for 10 rounds. Margarito had just had his hands wrapped when the substance was discovered. But I guess to self righteous people that is the same thing.

california didn't even ban him.

they just won't give him a license.

maybe if california banned him then other states would as well.


dude , tyson bit someone's ears off and he got convicted of rape. he was still able to find places to fight.

people overreact. what marg did was bad but people act like he's the only one ever to cheat or do something bad.

mosley was roiding. so was holyfield. both have been pretty much confirmed.

did they get banned for life?

It's unbelievable how vindictive some boxing fans are.

Tyson should DEFINITELY have been banned for life for that.

After two respected state commissions decline to license a proven cheater leave it to a state with no moral integrity, Texas. As our favorite sport has seen its slow but steady decline into corruption, bad calls, blatant dodging, and horrible judgments, another blemish appears on her once glorious face. Licensing a man who should be behind bars along with his infamous trainer, Antonio "Margacheato" Margarito and the aforementioned Javier Capetillo. This decision both saddens and sickens me. I for one will not watch nor support this fight. I am fully aware that this will probably not make a difference in its success or failure but if we as true boxing fans unite and show these crooked scumbags they ill not profit from these deplorable actions then maybe they will stop shoving these bad fights down our throats.

I agree it seems only Mexicans are approving this since it is natural for them to have no morals

You are truly the bottom of the barrel in this forum.

Honestly Iron Mike is my favorite fighter of all time, but he continue to make a mockery of the situation and was still allowed to fight.

Someone asked him about holyfield etc, and he said "Fvkk Holyfield". On another occasion he also stated..."Fvkk it....it's a fight so whatever happens happens.

Also Margarito isn't as disrespectful. Can you imagine if Margarito would have told the CSAC "Yeah I used wraps on Cotto...but fvk it. It's a fight anyways so whatever happens happens".

If Mike didn't get banned for life then no modern fighter will ever get banned.

Should've stopped after you said CSAC was a respected commission. The CSAC is a two bit operation

that makes texas even worse for having granted the disgrace a license to cheat again.

You're right. James Butler did one of the ugliest things ever in a boxing ring. He fought again. But what Margarito (almost) did is supposedly unforgiveable?

This should be investigated and a ton of people indicted or fired. This is one of the worst cases of corruption I've seen in a while.
