And to think, more than half this board and even those in the press determined that Margarito would have repeat performance and close the show earlier. They said Cotto would fold and that Cotto want mentally prepared for Margarito. Then Cotto pitched a 9-0 shutout, and now the revisionist change up the story. You can't make this stuff upComment

Smh that this 'plaster' nonsense still get thrown around. Any of you fools ever heard about what happened when Boxing Illustrated tried to replicate the supposed 'plaster of paris' casts that Dempsey was supposed to have used against Willard?
Boxing Illustrated conducted an experiment to test whether it was possible to use plaster of paris successfully under fighting conditions. The results were reported in the May 1964 issue of BI, pp 20-24, 66. Hugh Benbow and Perry Payne (manager and trainer of Cleveland Williams) used plaster of paris on Cleveland's hands and reenacted what Kearns said occurred in Dempsey's dressing room. After 35 minutes of toasting to reenact the 114-degree heat of Toledo that day, Cleveland Williams hit the heavy bag five times. Benbow examined the wraps and found that the plaster had cracked and crumbled. "This stuff." said Cleve, "wouldn't do anybody any good."
The Boxing Illustrated test proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the plaster of paris would not have held up after the first punch, it would have crumbled and left chunks in his mitts and every punch thereafter would have been quite painful and there is little doubt he would have broken his hands. The inventor of the product issued a statement as to the impossibility of using plaster of paris without breaking all the bones in the hands. Dempsey’s hands were not broken and he continued to punch with authority with both hands. This alone dispels the idea that Dempsey’s gloves were loaded with plaster of paris.Comment
