no, i think first it was plaster of paris but the less sense that makes the more it opens it up to alternative possibilities.
Arum seems to contradict himself here. On the one hand he says there was no plaster just hand cream on the other hand he says Margarito didn't know what was going on.
They found sulpher not sodium. And anyway, plaster or no plaster....he had 'knuckle pads' in his gloves, which are illegal. How he could not be aware that he had these huge chunks of old gauze on his knuckles I will never know.
No knuckle pads aren't illegal it was supposed to be the fact that they were previously worn and seemed a bit harder than normal. Every fighter wears a knuckle pad.
man, floyd is a clean boxer stop dissing him. Even if you make a poll about it like "Is floyd a cheater?" I'm pretty much sure that poll would lead to a majority answer as no. He doesn't need to put sulfur and calcium in his gloves in order to win his fights. Everything he does is in the book, he may have elbowed some times as i predict u are going to say but look around, almost everyone has done things like that in boxing occasionally. When floyd goes into the ring, he doesn't have the intent to kill his opponents but rather school them:deal
Look earlier I said calcium sulfate was the mixture but its actually just gypsum. Like calcium deposits in caves basically the same **** they use for alot of building materials. It has to be heated to 400 Degrees then mixed with water to react. I was trying to find some articles about the test results They said the criminalist found calcium and sulfur Then the papers make their own play that these are two ingredients when combined make plaster of paris. I figure a lab would know if it was heated gypsum known as calcium sulfate hemihydrate or calcium and sulfur Wh the **** knows?
i bet it was just an old ass gym pad, that had traces of all that **** due to sweat, healing lotions etc etc......
Margo supporters trying to come up with every dam excuse out there to defend this cheater, this is hilarious.
