Do you think they will release photos of the plaster-like evidence? (I'm sure the Commission won't, but maybe somebody can leak it?)
I'm really curious to see what was found inside Margarito's gloves. There's articles out there that quote Brother ****m Richardson as decribing the objects that fell out of the gloves as "a little block of gauze-like plaster."
It would be interesting to know how "little" these blocks were to get a better idea of how someone could sneak it into a wrap.
Now before people start getting their panties in a bunch about this post, let me state clearly that this is by no means a way of justifying cheating or trying to downplay the alleged incident. I'm NOT trying to say if they find Marg guilty (if they do), "Oh, well, he didn't cheat that bad! They were just little blocks!" Like an ex-girlfriend once stated, "Cheating is cheating. Gettin' head counts too."
I just want to get a better perspective on things. Because if I was just a casual fan and I came on here I'd be reading stuff like Marg had cinder blocks in his hands, which makes me think they poured cement into hollow gloves until they were full. (And, no I'm not a complete idiot, "little" cinder blocks can hurt too.)
Really, like I said, I'm just curious to see. Also, another thing that's confusing is that Richardson is quoted as saying after feeling one of the wraps, "Oh my goodness, this is too hard," but I thought illegal wraps start off wet and harden later in the fight? (Marg is known for coming back in second half of bouts. But if the wrap feels hard before the fight wouldn't that mean Marg would be more effective in earlier rounds during his career?)
Richardson continues saying that "when they unwrapped the other hand, another one fell out. It was wet with a little plaster on it." I admit, it's confusing to me how plaster works since it's weird that something gets hard when it gets wet (unless we're talking about your girl polishing your pole). But I thought cheaters relied on the sweat from inside the glove to make the plaster wet later in the fight so it's not detected earlier if there's a pre-fight inspection?
Oh, and I'm new, so please all you p4p posters please don't knock me out in the first round.
Thanks.
P.S. If anybody does bother responding to this post, I'm sure some will post pictures of cement blocks. This is a tough neighborhood, I know.
