New blog New Start

Hi followers, am making this blog to give my two cent's on what happening in the boxing world, what I think of fight results, fight news and if Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao or Haye Vs. The Klitchko's will happen!


1st news story is that Antonio Margarito has not been licensed by California State Athletic Commission, This stems back to his ex trainer Javier Capetillo loading his gloves with plaster of Paris before fighting Shane Mosley back in January 2009. He was hoping to fight pound for pound king Manny Pacquaio in November.


I think this is great news as if the illegal infringement wasn't noticed Margarito could of permanently damaged Mosley, and while this is the only time Margarito was caught cheating who knows how long he has been using illegal substance's against the likes of Kermit Citron, Golden Johnson and Miguel Cotto who looked a changed man after the fight, while Manny Pacquiao demolished Cotto, he has been rated as a phenomenal athlete, with all due respect to Margarito he hasn't set the world alight and is more known for his chin than his boxing ability. Another matter is should Margarito get a career high payday after being caught cheating?

"Shortly before his next fight with Shane Mosley in Los Angeles, Margarito was found to have illegal plaster inserts in both gloves. Subsequent examination of photos from the Cotto fight show red stains on Margarito's hand wraps that are consistent with stains on the inserts seized by the California State Athletic Commission when it suspended Margarito's boxing license for a year."
Margarito protest's he did not know anything about the wrap's but if the glove fits (no pun intended) your full of shit.
Am not going to bore people with all the technicalities of the hearing, but Margarito isn't even licensed to spar in the State of California after this incident, and his new trainer seems just as clueless as he didn’t even check the full extent of his ban.

No one wants to see another incident like Billy Collins vs. Luis Resto incident which seen Billy Collin's lively hood savagely taken away from him.

It's reported that Billy Collin's eyes were open on this photo

See the similarities in the swelling?

So would you license a boxer that claims that he did know nothing about hit gloves/ wrap's being tampered with? With the risk of damaging another young man's lively hood more than usual in the brutal sport that is boxing... I wouldn't
