The California State Athletic Commission is investigating hand wraps originally on the fists of Antonio Margarito prior to his loss Saturday night to Shane Mosley.
The two pieces of gauze allegedly had a "plaster-like substance" on them. The CSAC expects results "promptly," according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
The commission forced Margarito to rewrap his hands after Mosley's trainer, ****m Richardson, reviewed the original wraps and found them to be too thick. Extra pads and the harder substance were found. The hands were rewrapped, and Margarito suffered a ninth-round TKO.
Richardson said the wraps were doctored in a "deliberate" manner, according to the New York Post.
Richard Schaefer, Mosley's promoter, told the Times that "it's more than additional gauze, that's not a good thing to say. There was a white pad with a substance that was a grayish, concrete color on it. The thing is, you wonder now how many times he did it before."
Todd duBoef, president of Margarito-promoter Top Rank, said he believed the commission only took "additional gauze."
"He's tainted everything he has done," Hall of Fame trainer and HBO broadcaster Emanuel Steward told the New York Post. "Now you've got a situation where every fighter that he has fought is wondering, 'Did he do that to me?' I hate this happened because it makes it where there are questions about everybody he has fought."Comment
