Nowdays, fighters who are caught using steroids are automatically suspended by the state boxing commission they were licensed by (in the U.S.) and usually other states will uphold the suspension as well. The question is, should Margarito be suspended for 6-12 months or more for illegally wrapping his hands?...
I think so, he broke the rules and should be fined and suspended to be punished and to deter other fighters from doing the same thing. What are your thoughts/opinions on this issue..
Poll to come...
I don't know if anyone remembers but De La Hoya had to have his had re wrapped several times against pacman because they were being placed on his hands in an illegal fashion. I guess everyone forgot about this and has selective memory.
In an illegal FASHION, not cement material.
There's no proof that he has done this in the passed. ANd everytime you get your hands wrapped, you're supposed to be monitored, so you can't go by gut-feeling. You have to go by proof.
Proof is, he got caught BEFORE the fight, therefore, he should just be left alone.
He would've been perfectly fine with going into the fight with that material though. There's no proof he's NOT done this in the past either. Why would they all of a sudden do this for a supposedly faded fighter who was never going to beat Tony?? Cotto was the much more dangerous fighter in their perception, BUT the Cotto camp has been known to have a lack of communication and I wouldn't be surprised if Evangelista didn't monitor the wrapping in that fight.
If you still support Margarito after this, you are just a sick and twisted individual. I'm loving seeing even his own fans admit that he's a disgrace
It has to be proven first! And I think that you are actually are hoping that Tony is found guilty which in itself is sick and twisted.
Tony will not have any fans after this loss, all teh fake bandwagon fans will leave him, so it really dont matter.

You don't know what plaster is genius, it blends in with the wrapping perfectly.

"Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank, Margarito's promoter, shrugged and said he was told only that "additional gauze" had been taken off his fighter's hand wraps"

You don't know what plaster is genius, it blends in with the wrapping perfectly. It's not exactly easy to catch, the guy who caught it is a good trainer and looks really hard for that stuff. It's not like its really noticeable, you have to really really be an expert at looking for it.
Nothing has been proven against Margarito yet. We don't know all the facts.
So let's not jump to conclusions - this whole wraps thing is being blown way out of proportion.

If the facts indicate that Margarito illegally wrapped his hands, would that change your vote?
And how is this "wraps thing" being blown out of proportion? This is a serious issue..

they found the proof bro didn't u heard and read the articule? it was a gel for plaster that gets hard.
The more I think about it, the more egregious this offense seems. The plaster wraps is just as serious as removing padding from the gloves or loading the gloves with something. The California boxing commission should levy some serious fines and impose a long suspension here. Had Shane's team not noticed the illegal wrapping it may have been a much different fight. This illegal behavior cannot be tolerated in boxing at all...

Yeah I also think he should just for the sake of Boxing. Other fighters need to understand that this kind of stuff can't happen and if they do break the rules they will be punished. Not just get a slap on the wrist.
If the studies and tests come back positive that he was indeed using plaster of paris on his wraps and stuff, yes he should, he should be fined too, so should his corner.
