Antonio Margarito Suspended

Former Welterweight Champion Antonio Margarito suspended for one year after a hardening substance was found on his hand wrap. A member of Shane Mosleys team noticed the unusual substance in the wrap and brought it to the commissions attention before the January 24th match. The hands were rewrapped and the title was dropped to Sugar Shane Mosley in the ninth round. The incident was not forgotten as The California Athletic Association handed down the one year suspension to Margarito and his trainer Javier Capetillo. Antonio Margarito has been an impressive fighter to watch with an impressive record of 37-6 - 27 KO’S, sadly this incident may overshadow anything the former champion has accomplished in the ring.
