Margarito caught with plaster of Paris !

[The Gully Gad]

I heard it was his mullet from the back cut off and mixed with Viagra in liquid form
and then placed into the wraps...

[Pullcounter]

margarito's new moniker: "hands of plaster" remember where you heard it first

[The RealDeal]

to be fair to margarito they dont know what that substance is yet

Yep, I heard he jized into his gloves and wraps before every fight !

[FeFist]

What's funny is me and my dad were talking yesterday ( Before the fight occurred) and he said Margarito punches decievingly hard, he said against Cotto his punches didn't look that powerful but Cotto was busted up pretty severely.

Of course we put it down to him hitting decievingly hard. Now that we know the guy is a cheat a huge question mark will be placed over that victory. I honestly have no respect for him, he may have ruined Cotto's career. Also it's a disgusting thing to do, boxing is a dangerous sport as it is but to essentially make a cast out of your hand.

People have died when they do **** like that.

I think it was actually plaster of London.

Mosley trainer ****m Richardson is the one who protested the wrap, and this is his version of the story (Richardson, by the way, was one of the people who protested Felix Trinidad's hand wrap before his fight with Bernard Hopkins, although the issue there was gauze and tape; so Richardson's brilliance was not only in giving Mosley a winning strategy, but in being sharp enough to recognize some potential cheating by his opponent):


Richardson would not surrender the pieces until Mosley's attorney Judd Burstein arrived in the dressing room. At that point, they were placed in a box, sealed and signed, and given to Lohuis.

"When he put the wrapping on, I asked if I could feel it and when I felt it, I was like, 'Oh my goodness, this is too hard,' " Richardson said. "When the commission flipped the [tape] over, a little block of gauze-like plaster fell out. I said, 'Unwrap the other hand,' and they were saying, 'Oh, oh, the other hand is good.' I asked the commissioner, 'What if I unwrap the other hand at the end of the fight and it falls out of there, too?'

"He made them unwrap it. And when they unwrapped the other hand, another one fell out. It was wet with a little plaster on it."
A second member of the Mosley camp added some detail, per the Los Angeles Times:


Mosley's doctor, Robert Olvera, likened the material to the type of plaster used to make casts.

"It gets hard and mobile," said Olvera, who said he scratched the pad and "flakes of plaster of Paris" came off.


Here's what Margarito's promoter said:


Top Rank president Todd duBoef, who promotes Margarito, said he was told the wrap was simply gauze that was balled up by the knuckles. DuBoef said that when Richardson objected, Margarito's camp was happy to comply and rewrap.


What we have here are two parties to the fight -- Mosley's camp and the California commission -- asserting that, at minimum, an illegal substance that was wet and would harden, was found in Margarito's gloves. A third party -- Margarito's camp -- is suggesting in a roundabout way that if anything improper happened, it was innocent and cleared up quickly.

It is my hope that a fuller investigation is conducted, per Golden Boy's lawyer.

If he was cheating and had cheated before he got what he deserved.

[MetalVomit]

Margacheato is done. It serves him right to get the beating of lifetime like he received last night. Props to Mosley. Seldom have I seen such a combination of speed and crushing power.

Naw, thats what they call Amir Khans beard......

You would think at this point they would simply halt the wrapping process, take a photo of the wraps, then take the wraps themselves for examination. At least then we'd have some solid proof from the commission as to what's going on
