But the commisions report when banning Margo suggested that it was just old, hardened tape. Blocks hard enough to make an impact would break your hand when landed

below is part of a post I made on another boxing forum and comments came from the article I read:

Trinidad was an abrasion against the rules. Margarito downright had a weapon. There is a difference when you say you're playing chess and have your men lined up differently, as opposed to having extra men on the board. Margarito tried to bring extra men. He had an actual square block of plaster in his knuckle pad. Margarito had a strip over the back of his hand, around his thumb and wrapped two or three times down to the wrist. They told me it was because of a previous injury was why they wrapped it that way. One look and you could tell it wasn't right.
We went back and forth about that. Margarito's coach said that he expected this out of me because of my involvement in the Trinidad situation. The original arguement was about the tape being directly on the skin, where it's supposed to be gauze. They went and got one of the commissioners, and they got the tape off and asked that Margarito's people start wrapping the hands again. Margarito had the left hand done. I saw that, but I noticed this pad on a table next to Margarito and when I picked it up to check it out. I noticed it was kind of hard. When I handed the knuckle pad over to the chief commissioner, a block fell out. I couldn't believe it. I picked up the block. That's when I wanted to approve the other hand. They had to take the wraps off the left hand and a block falls outof the padding on that hand too. I was sitting there with these two blocks in my hands. The commission wanted them, and I said "no way". I told them that I wasn't going to give them anyone except Shane Mosley's lawyer. I put the blocks in a box and handed them to Judd Burstein

I heard that at the time, but didn't Naz change his story a couple of times over time? If blocks had been in his wraps then I suggest he would have been banned for life. Giving the "blocks" to Mosleys lawyers instead of the commission would only achieve tainting any evidence

I haven't seen any other interview from Naz stating different!
