    Margacheato should have to be drained and Cotto should get to use plaster too.Thats the only way it should happen.

    Tests show plaster of Paris ingredients


    The hand wraps confiscated from former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito shortly before his title defense against "Sugar" Shane Mosley contained two primary elements of plaster of Paris, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing documents obtained from California's top law enforcement agency.

    A California Department of Justice senior criminalist who inspected the wrappings under a stereomicroscope and with an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer determined the wraps contained sulfur and calcium, according to a document obtained by the Times. Those two elements, with the addition of oxygen, make plaster of Paris.

    The hand wraps were removed from Margarito's fists shortly before his Jan. 24 title fight against Mosley when Mosley's trainer, Nazim Richardson, objected to their use. The hardened gauze pads, which had been inserted inside the hand wraps near Margarito's knuckles, were seized by the California State Athletic Commission, which sanctions and oversees boxing in the state.

    Mosley went on to claim a TKO win in the ninth round and take the WBA welterweight title.

    In February, following a hearing days after the fight, the state athletic commission revoked the licenses of Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, for one year. The commission's decision is likely to be upheld in other states.

    "The [state athletic] commission's decision appears to be supported by that report," said Karen Chappelle, the state supervising deputy attorney general for licensing who urged the state commission to revoke Margarito's and Capetillo's licenses.

    "The only things that are allowed in hand wraps are gauze and tape and those items aren't gauze and tape," she said, according to the Times.

    Margarito and Capetillo have yet to appeal the revocations of their licenses.

    According to the report, Margarito's promoter, Bob Arum, had no immediate response to the findings.

    "I'd have to see [the report]," Arum said.

    Licenses Revoked! Antonio Margarito & Trainer

    "Former welterweight world champion Margarito and his trainer Javier Capetillo both had their boxing licenses revoked for one year by the California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday after a five hour long hearing that took place in the State Building.

    Blame it all on those wet hand wraps.

    Though charges of plaster of Paris were being tossed around the country on Internet sites and blog spots, what it came down to was the simple fact that two knuckle pads inserted in the hand wraps were moistened.

    ThatÂ’s it.

    But according to the rules of California, wraps or pads cannot be moistened whatsoever, even with pure drinking water. Nada.

    So on the night that Margarito lost by ninth round knockout to Sugar Shane Mosley, he also lost his right to fight in the United States because of a strict rule infraction.

    One of the knuckle pads in question is being analyzed by the state but had not been returned at the time of the hearing. No matter, moistening a hand wrap with any liquid or water is illegal."

    Eff Margarito. He could have killed somebody.

    He was suspended for having illegal knuckle pads. And no big city DA is going to accept a bribe or risk their career for a boxer. I can't believe you would even say something so ignorant. Besides, do you really think a jew is going to give away money?

    while one poster is at it, why not blame Arum for terrorism also and all bad things that have happened and those thats about to occur like a third world war. if something happened that ones simple mind cant grasp, blame it on witchcraft, just like the old days.
     
  12. Cotto is scared. He knows what's coming.

    Cotto a *****, ran to 154 to get easy pay days in a weak division. The guy is now asking for a catchweight to defend his title he has at 154. Pathetic.
