they said the illegal substance was under the wrap, richards said when they made margarito unwrap his hands thats when the substance fell out ,so margarito keepin the wraps on makes it more contraversialComment

Nasim said the wraps were too tight, and when they went to remove them, the substance fell out.
""It was brick hard. It was deliberate, but on whose part? I don't know," said Richardson. "For all I know the corner could have been wrapping it that way for all of his fights, and Margarito could have been just as surprised as anybody that it was wrong. As you fight the natural cushion in the gloves wear down, so by the later rounds you're basically getting hit with that plaster in there. That kind of stuff is ridiculous. When he opened it up, a little square block of old wet gauze packed real tight came out. It was like it had plaster on it. I think it had an old dried up blood stain on it."
Which was confirmed by the Chairman of the California Athletic Commission....
" A foreign substance was found by California State Athletic Commission staff in the hand wraps of Antonio Margarito before his bout against Shane Mosley at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The substance found in Margarito’s hand wraps is currently being analyzed by the California Department of Justice. An investigation as to whether either licensee violated CSAC rules is ongoing. Mr. Margarito and Mr. Capetillo have been asked to appear at an initial hearing scheduled for February 10, 2009.”
So apparently the subtance was in the hand wraps, and not visible from the outside. Margarito removing his wraps in the ring (if he was indeed loading his gloves) would have more than likely exposed what he may have been doing. That would be like robbing a bank, stuffing the money in your jacket, and then unzipping it in front of the cops.Last edited by Antwuan Maxx; 01-29-2009, 07:17 PM.Comment

Nazeem is known to check other fighter's wraps. Apparently Marg's camp didn't get the memo.
Its logical that if he's caught using an illegal substance that chances are he may have used it before.
Its like a baseball player who's caught using a corked bat, the logical assumption is that its not the 1st time he's ever used a corked bat. You shouldn't be surprised people are speculating, and it's not just Cotto fans either from what I've seen on here.Comment

i agree with this post...margo beat cotto period and if anything was in margies wrap is cottos camp fault for not being able to notice it.Ain't no excuses. Margo beat Cotto down period. If he allegedly used illegal wraps that Cotto's camp failed to notice, then tough *****. That's the way the game goes. Some people need that edge. When the truth comes out, they're the ones who's looking foolish. A fight is a fight, protect yourself at all times. If Cotto had his ***** together, then he would have been able to handle Margo like a true warrior. Not taking anything away from Cotto, i'm a solid fan.
Regardless, in boxing sometimes it gets durty. If Margo cheated using illegal wraps, what has all the crooked promoters gotten away with.
what i couldnt understand was the part that cotto could have handle margarito like a true warrior....
for me he did all he could... and handle the loss like a true champion. maybe the warrior **** means that you need to get ko if you are going to loose in order to be a true warrior...
cotto handle his loss better than margie in all matters.. even that everyone its especulating about the wraps and even kermit cintron has coming out bitching and wanting the commision to stay in touch with them.. cottos camp havnt say ****!!!
just acting ELITE! in all this situation!!
i expect a good year for cotto!!
and a KO within 5 of the popcorn guy!!...
first i was thinking that screw margie..... about a rematch with cotto... but now i know its gonna be a pretty damn good fight!!! and the outcome maybe not be the same and we for sure have bombs over bagad... MARGIE VS COTTO II make it happen!!
shane vs cotto can me done later...Last edited by mellow_mood; 01-29-2009, 07:37 PM.Comment

Wouldn't he have removed the handwraps after the fight? why would he still have them if he was "cheating"? Some people quickly jumped on the "margarito cheated against cotto" bandwagon because they found "illegal" substances before the Mosley fight..they just want to discredit magarito's win over Cotto... what i noticed is that its mostly the puerto ricans who now found a new excuse for their man losing (first was the steroids)What I HAVE NOTICED is that mostly Puerto Ricans are upset about people taking about Puerto Ricans taking about Mexicans being upset about...STFU!what i have noticed is that mostly mexicans are upset about people talking to much about the hand wraps and did he have illegal wraps for the cotto fight the fact of the matter is that hbo and jim lampley are the ones that suggested that maybe margarito had illegal wraps for the cotto fight so if u are mad get mad at hbo
