By Peter Wells: After being banned from fighting in the US at the beginning of the year Antonio Margarito has not fought even outside of America, and at the moment there is no sign of him coming back.

The Truth Bout Boxing

mosley45659By Ibrar Arshaid: I remember when I was younger and I had my first taste of boxing, it was at the local boys boxing club that was located around the corner from my home. My first thought about the whole experience of sparring and the enduring training regime was ‘Damn this is tough’. From that day I have always had respect for all boxers.

Margarito To Fight Baldomir in June or July?

margo2435By Eric Thomas: With the California State Athletic Commission stripping away the licenses of both Antonio Margarito (37-6, 27 KOs) and his excellent trainer Javier Capetillo on Tuesday, revoking the licenses for a minimum of one year, his promoter Bob Arum is looking to keep him active by having him fight in June or July in Mexico possibly against Argentinean Carlos Baldomir (44-12-6, 13 KOs).

Margarito To Fight In Mexico

Whether the suspension for the said illegal hand wraps that Margarito was wearing prior to his January 24th fight with Shane Mosley holds up or not, it won’t hamper Margarito from fighting through the year long revocation.
