The margarito hand wrap Controversy

[Little Rhino]

Of course plaster has been done before, not only Resto but african boxer Mpofu as well. So there will be a question mark stamped over margo's tko against Cotto. Marg had his moments in the fight but.... nobody saw not even a peck of damage even though he landed good upper cuts nice hooks and straight right hands against Sugar Shane. After the bout just look at Mosley's face and try to find at least a knot.

Read the thread that says "Nazeem says the wraps were deliberate"...its a great read.

I don't understand how anyone could say that using plaster isn't possible when using it to wrap your hands. He used the kind of plaster that you use for a cast when you break a bone. It's very possible, and it's been done before.

What gets me is that not only is it cheating, but it seriously endangers someone's life. I used to be a fan of Margarito's, but now I've lost all respect. How can you respect someone who is willing to cheat like that?

Thank God Mosley's trainer caught it before the fight. Margarito deserved that beating, and humiliation. Now I question every win Margarito had before. What about Cotto? Look how badly he was cut up. Now we'll never know. What a shame.

It was a plaster-like substance that hardens when it gets wet.

yea but even if he had gauze underneath plaster, it would still mess his hand up.
