By Jake Donovan - Back to the scene of the crime it is for Antonio Margarito, or so said the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Friday shortly before deciding to table his application to have his license renewed in the state.
A lengthy hearing was held at the end of Friday’s meeting agenda to determine whether or not the former two-time welterweight titlist should have his license reinstated in the state of Nevada. The morning ended with a 4-1 vote by the 5-person panel to not yet review his application until the fighter first reappears in front of the California State Athletic Commission.
“California is most versed in the details of the testimony and what occurred,” Commissioner Skip Avinsino said towards the end of the meeting prior to having his motion on record. “We only have evidence of the details in a secondary sense, whereas California has all of the information first-hand.
“My suggestion to Mr. Margarito is that it could be in his best interest to return to California and allow the commission to ventilate this situation fully. He has served his time and would be willing to hear him out. They should be the first to rule on the situation.”
The motion to table the application means that Margarito will once again be given a chance to apply for reinstatement in Nevada, but not before the CSAC makes a ruling. [Click Here To Read More]
