    Lennox was just being honest about it. Nothing wrong with that.

    Hmmm didn't Shane Mosley kind of give him the benefit of the doubt and say he may not have known?

    Then again, maybe he was just being classy and didn't really beleive that.

    I heard Lennox say it.....but he like many uninformed all around us, still thinks that it was plaster that was caught in Margarito's handwraps....

    Lennox believing its plaster they found in Margarito's wraps, even went as far as saying that its the same as inserting brass knuckles....:patsch

    HBO, ESPN, most of the news media.....are still not reporting the actual facts...that it was a rolled up piece of moistened gauze that was planted on top of Margarito's knuckles.

    If they're going to condemn Margarito, I wish that they would at least acknowleadge the facts that are currently known......and those facts are that it was a rolled up piece of gauze that does not feel hard, but feels more firm than normal.

    Just acknowleadge and report on the facts is all I'm saying, and the media outlets wanting a story, just are not doing that.

    Shane himself was actually one of the few to have inspected the piece of gauze that came out from Margarito's wraps.....so he would know that it was far from plaster hard!:deal

    Just report and opiniate on the facts folks, and most of you all are not doing that.

    It is Margo's responsibility as a profesional to know if his wraps are wrapped legaly or not. No need to make excuses for a grown man who is geting paid quite well to follow the rules. I do think the difference it would make in the fight is geting greatly exagerated by the less reasonable posters.

    I doubt that Margarito had no idea what he was doing. He had to know that he was cheating.
