If you ever had your hands wrapped for sparring or a fight you'd know more of the mechanics of the operation, it s not possible the way you describe it. I know, because as well as hundreds of sparring sessions I have had 63 fights.It couldn't be done at all if it's already plaster as the Mosley one was supposed to be. I would bet that the pad was slightly stiff from sweat and talcum powder etc. as it would normally be AFTER finishing sparring, and it was mistakenly used. Richardson wantes to gain some notoriety os a boxing sleuthhound, as he's not much good for anything else. You cannot put a solid Plaster of Paris pad over a knuckle-where is HAS to be to do any good unless it's soft. And the complete Plaster of Paris ingredients were ABSENT...repeat ABSENT. Not only that, I'd bet real money that when the pads of ANY boxers bandages are cut off they are stiff from the sweat and use when they dry out, and probably have absorbed talcum powder and maybe other absorbent powder as is commonly used on bandages .
The sentense on the Trainer was because it was HE who made the error , and because he made the Boo-boo, accepted full blame for what was only a storm in a teacup, if you know that that means.
And, lest I forget, your fiction about the powder being sprinkled so that it would get harder during used is nothing more than a lame lie. Boxing Illustrated exposed this myth by having Cleveland Williams wrap his hands, wet them, sprinkle copious Plaster of Paris on the wet bandages, give them special heat treatment for them to properly dry, and hit a heavy bag 3-4 times. The result was that the plaster the REAL Plaster, crumbled after the first punch. There was huge publicity about this, because it wa done to lay to rest Jack Kearns story in his book that he and Dempsey did it. Kearns was a first class liar and short of money.
If you were a genuine boxing enthusiast and knew something about boxing history, like I do, and not just a modern day follower, you'd have known about this and not kept making a fool and a liar of of yourself.
You have the opportunity to change your stance and apologise to Margarito and trainer.
