Antonio Margarito's CSAC Hearing Begins With a Stunner

[PUERTORICANBEN]

not yet. It ain't over till the fat lady sings. I don't hear her singing yet.

your about to hear them singing in english and spanish!! I like margaritos style, hes exciting and took alot of punches from cotto that other boxers have folded over. He took a beating from shane that nobody could argue with the stopppage, but tony still wanted to keep fighting, i respect his heart....but loaded gloves is a serious issue. Theres nothing worse outside of buying the judges. Its banned for a reason it could cause serious damage, and he made cottos and cintrons face look like no one else ever has. They'll always be doubt now....and as a cotto guy i must admit it feels a little good to have the question mark. Id love to see miguel do to him what shane did.

This is like Gomez/Sanchez all over again, both could not do the rematch, or even DLH/TRinidad, another could have been. Hopefully, Juanma gets all the rematches he needs

antonio margarito will be fine there aint no need to worry except for the two faced peices of crap in the sport of boxing who did nothing to the great felix trinidad and are still on the bandwagon

mr. "chicanito" i dont know how many times they are going to repeat that TRINIDAD wasnt found with illegal substances on his gloves, just wrapped illegally, so therefore nothing happened just a re-wrap. quit the ****, just accept that Margarito and or his corner did commit something very illegal

i would say loaded gloves is alot worse than buying the judges

You don't think that means he's guilty?

This is a disciplinary hearing, nothing more, they already know he had an illegal foreign object in his glove.

He'll get either 6 months or a year and pending the result of the plaster like substance, could get more.

You can bet your ass if that **** comes back as plaster he'll probably get life.

Ok but guilty of what though??? I mean Im with ya on this...for the AG to come out and say that he is probably in some deep ****...I just wish they would hurry up and tell us what the hell he did...that **** in the gloves needs to be revealed ASAP!!!!

You have obviously never heard of conspiracy. If you caught trying to break into a building, you will be charged with attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit burglary and a slew of other charges, it doesn't matter that you failed the commit the crime.

It is against the law to plan to commit a crime.

There is more than enough to bring conspiracy charges, and there is enough to bring attempted assault with a deadly weapon charges, possibly even attempted murder charges if they really want to be ****s about it.

They can slap unlawful possession of a deadly weapon charges on him.

There is actually enough legal precedence on the books that they would have little trouble throwing Margarito in jail.

attempted murder is a bit much......i'd say conspiracy might be too. bottom line is, they'd have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that margarito knew what was in the wraps.......i think the trainer will most likely get the harshest penalty here.

I find it odd they say the highest possible punishment is simply a 1 year ban, and then he can fight again. Why, why not more if he had an intention to harm with a weapon?

Whilst understanding why, it is pretty lame that he can lay just one glove on a guy in a fight then get caught, and penalised far more. But if he gets caught before hand, then somehow the punishment is drastically lower to the point it's really that realistic he wasn't fully intending on fighting with those wraps.

This isn't a case whereby someone is carrying a weapon like a knife to possibly harm somone.

This is a case whereby he was setup and had to have used the weapon on his hands, for they were strapped up ready to land in fifteen minutes.

Even then, just carrying a knife certainly in the UK, can hold a serious punishment. So this seems a bit weak to me, especially given this is a so called responsible professional.

it says the harshest penalty available, INCLUDING a year suspension.....meaning there is other **** on top.

i would say loaded gloves is alot worse than buying the judges

in the sense of the probability of injury.

but either way, you should get suspended for a long, long time.....if not banned.

He might even be looking at some prison time for this...u never know!

thats what i meant you could cause a serious injury using loaded gloves, buying the judges is still cheating and still should get you banned, but isn't going to cause serious damage to another fighter
