Antonio margarito was falsely accused

c/p of what I posted in the other thread:

Honestly, I'm not a fan of his but the more I looked into and researched the whole "plaster" thing it's clear to me that the majority of it was bogus and blew out of proportion. He had a "substance" that IF merely combined with another substance, would make elements in plaster of paris. Nothing more really. Nazim set him up.

If the guy had loaded his gloves with actual plaster, he would have been jailed for attempted assault with a deadly weapon. He would have been banned for life. You don't ban a guy for a year who tried to put "cement" in his gloves FFS.

That video with Doug from RingMag on youtube is really good and explains how it was overblown.

 

No "hard core " proof


Your right the wraps he was caught with are pretty standard ..

 

Let me aks you a simple question:

Does a guy who puts "cement" in his gloves get banned for LIFE or for 1 year?

Why wasn't he jailed for attempted battery with a deadly weapon?

 

How long was Resto banned for ?

Hey under the rules I. Sure the punishment fit the crime ..But I am not aware of the particular bi laws ..But like I said I'm sure those wraps were pretty standard ..Don't see why other boxers don't use them if he was so falsely accused .

 

The biggest piece of evidence for me was not that his wraps were compensated but instead what happened to his career after the wraps were taken. Margarito absolutely sucked after the wraps were taken.

 

lol no proof? the ******* was caught red handed. If that's not proof enough then i'm not sure what you need.

C'mon gents, there's another thread on this no need to clutter this mutha up!

 

Tampered handwraps controversy

Controversy erupted before the fight when Mosley's trainer, Naazim Richardson, observed that Margarito had a pasty white substance in his handwraps.[16] One doctor described this material as plaster hidden in the wrapped hands of Margarito, leading to accusations that he may have been trying to cheat. At Richardson's insistence, California State Inspector Dean Lohuis called for Margarito's hands to be rewrapped. According to Judd Burstein, the attorney for Mosley, Margarito had wet pads in the wrapping. Mosley's doctor, Robert Olvera, likened the material to the type of plaster used to make casts. Burstein said he seized the pad removed from the wrapping and another pad found in Margarito's dressing room. Both were placed in a sealed box that was given to Lohuis for further study.[17] The California Department of Justice laboratory later confirmed the substance to be similar in nature to plaster of Paris.[18]

In late January, the California State Athletic Commission suspended Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, pending investigation.[19] At the hearing, Margarito claimed he did not know what was in the wraps, while Capetillo admitted to making "a big mistake" by placing the wrong inserts into Margarito's hand wraps. The commission voted unanimously to revoke Margarito and Capetillo's licenses for at least one year. While it found Margarito did not know about the gloves, it took the line that as head of the team, he was responsible for Capetillo's actions. Since state boxing commissions generally honor suspensions imposed in other states, this action effectively banned Margarito from boxing in the United States.[20]

In November 2009, it emerged that red stains on the hand wraps Margarito used in the Cotto fight were similar to the stains on the inserts seized before the Mosley fight. This has raised suspicions that Margarito's gloves were loaded for that fight and possibly others as well.

They wouldn't suspend a guy on hearsay.

End of Story

 

Because although a BLOCK fell out of his wraps in front of Nazeem, margarito plead STUPIDITY and so the blame fell on his scumbag trainer.

"Who me? Plaster?? When??" <<< ****in dirty low life.

 

These peasants are looking to resurrect an old hero now that Marquez is roiding up.

 

pretty much

 

Because he got caught BEFORE he could use them alt.

 

Without the plaster Margarito was a ****en bum lol.
