Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Judgment day for Margarito and Capetillo

Antonio-margarito_1612019_medium It is currently just shy of 11am where I am, and just shy of 8am in California, where later today the California State Athletic Commission will bring Antonio Margarito and trainer Javier Capetillo forward for a hearing and ruling on the ongoing hand wraps saga from January 24.

It's a big day for boxing, and obviously for Margarito and Capetillo. We all hope for the best, and I have to admit I'm horribly anxious to just get this thing decided. No more speculation. Let's hear what the deal is.

If Margarito is found guilty, his license will likely be indefinitely suspended in California, which every other U.S. commission would honor. He would also almost certainly appeal, which is probably why Top Rank and Margarito have famed attorney Daniel Petrocelli on board today.

Capetillo would likely never work a fight in the States ever again.

If he's innocent -- fingers crossed, for a multitude of reasons -- then we put this behind us and Margarito likely goes on to fight a rematch with Miguel Cotto in June.

We'll be here with news as it comes, and we'll have our thoughts, good or bad, as soon as anything is out.

A few minutes ago I posted a video from Primerahora.com explaining the proper way of to protecting your hands to box and the illigal use of “simple” loaded gloves by Juanma Lopez’s trainer, Alex Caraballo. below is the link:

For future reference

When you post a link, don’t do it in the title of the comment – do it in the body. Otherwise, the direct link doesn’t work.

Vogt early, Vogt often.
