Former WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and trainer Javier Capetillo had their licenses revoked for one year by the California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday.
The bans stem from Capetillo putting a plaster-like substance under Margarito’s hand wraps prior to his bout against Shane Mosley on January 24. The pads, confiscated last week, still are being tested by the commission.
Margarito was pummeled throughout against Mosley, getting beat via a ninth-round technical knockout as he lost his WBA welterweight title.
The commission voted 7-0 to revoke both Margarito and Capetillo’s licenses.
Ouch!
