    Does anyone know if the plaster of paris once hardened has the same effect as brass knuckles under the gloves.
    He may as well stuck a horseshoe in his glove for good luck.

    Seriuosly, this is not just rules violations and bad gamemanship....it is
    criminal behaviour that can cause serious long term damage to a person.

    what are your thoughts on this????

    It had an effect, yes. U stick anything hard in your gloves, u will notice the effect of the punch to one without anything in their gloves.

    Lets just put it this way... if Margarito thought he could get away with using a baseball bat in the ring and not get called on it, he'd do it.

    not as hard as a brass knuckle. however, a plaster of paris is still hard. those are the things dentists use. it's like a soft rock, when you get hold of it, you could crush it. however, it still as hard as rock when thrown with a punch

    Plaster is what they use to make casts. Think about it

    Cotto needs a rematch under fair conditions now it has emerged that margarito likes to give himself an unfair advantage. :!:
