Margarito cracked wrap mystery solved by 24/7

[edgarg]

Yeah but Capetillo did not get banned for life for Talcum. The gauze had the plaster material on it. This hardens with time and moisture, i.e. sweat. Cotto did not say anything because proof had not yet come out. I doubt he had seen that photo. He wanted to handle it like a man until **** got crazy. His father came out about it before he did, saying he never saw gloves make a fight bleed out eyes and ears.

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.

And it's always the guy who loses who makes the excuses. Except for a humble guy like Manny Pacauiao whom wanted to do much better for his fans, and felt he'd let them down, even though he clear;y won, if narrowly.

FAO Cotto's boys;


Here's your crack. The third pic is especially hilarious. I like pic #2 almost as much.











The unfortunate thing for Cotto is, he's been carrying a pic of that piece of thread on his phone and parading it around as evidence for the longest.

I love how the "crack" is sitting up all fluffy and thread-like on top of Tony's knuckles.

Man, I'm sure digging the authentically frayed, thread-like look of that "crack".

[CHOWWOKKA]

Wowww it's a ****ing pube. LOL that means Cotto carries around a picture of Margarito and his pubes.

What's funny is, if forum posters can identify this from fleeting glances at a few angles, I'm pretty sure someone at HBO, someone who will have pored over this material, would have also observed it at some point during the editing of this episode of 24/7 (or even way before) and deliberately neglected to call it into question as a feature of the show, choosing instead to allow Cotto to continue to use his "photo evidence" to further sway the audience in his favour.


The episode was GREAT television, but no doubt manipulative as all get out. No way I'm gonna let the emotional content near the end sway me into jumping ship on my boy. Tony has his own backstory and tragedies, and he's worked and fought like a lunatic all his adult life to be where he is - **** HBO's emotional blackmail, I'm riding with the Tornado 'til the wheels, or the eye, fall off.

lol I want to see what idiots have to say now

Not to mention Cotto's now telling the world that Tony was found with "plaster" on his hands, when, we were officially told, all that was actually found were traces of some ingredients that compose plaster and are also present in any number of handcreams.


Pretty odd behavior of Tony to remove his gloves and wave his plaster-enhanced, cracked wraps at everyone. I doubt that even Margarito, established Epic Arch Villain that he is, would be so flagrant as to parade the evidence that would lead to his downfall.


Odd way to go about plastering ones hands, too. It's not like we have an abundance of precedents to go by, but common sense suggests that this method of turning one's fists into plaster-casts would prove a lot less effective than the one employed by, sayy, the handlers of Luis Resto.


Maybe Cotto reads his PR fans on this forum.

Hbo is just promoting the fight but they all up Cottos ass...come on now.
