    Innocent until proven guilty. Reasonable doubt. I don't know for sure but those little plaster bars look useless. If you were going to set your entire fist in plaster that would be helpful. If you removed padding from a glove that would be helpful. But how does a small "hardened gauze pad" assist? The knuckles are already hard.

    He'd thrown about a thousand punches by then.

    Mosley was physically strong, more power than Cotto, and was way faster than Marg which was the main reason Marg had problems with him.. Shane was strong enough to smother him before he could wrap him up and get him in a corner to pressure him..

    Paul Williams has an significant speed and height advantage also was a volume puncher similar to Marg with less power.. Even if you pay attention to the Clottey fight he was physically stronger so Marg couldn’t overwhelm him.. So Shane has a significant speed and better offensive game than Clottey which would have always been a problem for him..

    Innocent. Everything ive heard about the dude says he is one of the most genuinely good-hearted boxers outside a ring in recent memory. The whole premise is stupid. Plaster? Bull****. His knuckles would have gotten ruined and there wouldn't even be any give or flex in wraps like that. Lets just say you did plaster your wraps and can still make a fist, if you dont remove padding from the glove you just nullified the whole attempt at cheating. Was padding removed from his gloves? I think Richardson wanted to take the public's attention off of SSM's juicing because he knew Shane was sauced up and about to put one on Margarito, and when he did, he was clearly well removed from his prime in previous fights abd then goes out and knocks Margo's balls loose.

    Putting plaster on a boxers knuckles to cheat is some of the most autistic **** ive ever heard. IF ANYTHING -- YOU'RE PUTTING THE BOXERS KNUCKLES AT MORE RISK THAN HIS OPPONENT'S FACE!!!

    The more I think about this the more blatant corruption it seems to become. When did Margo's team have the chance to put plaster of ****ing Paris in the wraps? With Moselys training team watching. It takes time to dry, you couldnt sneak a brick of that stuff already dry into the wraps. And how would that not only benefit Margarito but how wouldnt it be detrimental to him? He's innocent, people are pussies.

    No never had a win of note after being busted with loaded wraps. Look at how Lujan's ear looked after their fight, clearly something in his wraps.

    He may have been behind on the cards but he was starting to land more as the fight went on. Here is Cotto after the fight.https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J3zMHhxsOaU/maxresdefault.jpg

    If you encase your entire hand in plaster, you break your hand.

    If you insert used knuckle pads over your knuckles instead of a normal knuckle pad using gauze, you make it so that your fist is less cushioned (therefore capable of doing more damage) while still protecting the fighter's hand. It's a bit more subtle and is usually meant to ensure an advantage over the long haul.

    average person is a complete dumbass. anyone who understands plasters properties can tell you its all a bunch of crap after looking at the pad. emotional people dont wanna hear all that, thats not the world they wanna be in.

    Too true brother. Drives me nuts his legacy will always be tainted according to some people. He earned every last milligram of his legacy and then some. ****ing shame.

    Can someone explain to me why the CSAC would frame Margarito and ban him for something he didn't do?
