How much would loaded hand wraps help you anyway?

    Not high reso, pretty poor quality TBH, I don't know how you can have drawn any conclusions as to a substance being smeared all over the pad from those 2 pix you posted.

    Like I explained before.. someone else said it was smeared so I continued to say that.


    But the pads clearly have something that was put on them.

    There is no way to argue that even with the "poor quality" photos as you call them.

    :lol: Oh right, so in the midst of these 2 threads that are on the go that you're posting photos from the DoJ document that you insist are proof of Margo's wraps being loaded, you're happy to continue to repeat something that "someone else said" :lol:


    No, they do not - in your opinion, they "clearly have something that was put on them" but on what are you basing your claim? Oh, that's right, "someone else said it was smeared..." :lol:

    Did the DoJ clearly state that the pads were treated with anything, and if they did, did they clearly state what the substance was?

    Forgive me.. I quoted someone who touched the pads and saw them first hand.

    At a disciplinary hearing at the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), Che Guevara, an inspector for the organisation, said that the pads were “not hard as a rock, but firm and hard”. Mike Bray, another inspector, testified that they were “moist and dirty-looking, with a white substance smeared across the pad, like a cast plaster”.




    What does it matter if it was smeared or something else?

    The fact is something was put on those pads that were not meant to be there.

    If it makes you happy, I'll start saying adulterated like it exactly says in the court files.

    Yes they said it was adulterated with a white substance and that both pads were hard. They never stated exactly what it was.

    It makes your punches hurt more. This is very useful for a guy who is visibly a slow puncher like Rockgloves himself since it means he can actually do damage to people whilst having actually limited offensive capabilities when on a level playing field.

    To re answer this as well.

    First, you saw the photos yourself, they are clearly not normal gauze or even old gauze. Because old gauze wouldn't have white clumps of something in it.

    Second, the court documents clearly state that both pads were adulterated with a white substance.


    THIRDLY, Margarito himself even acknowledges that these pads were adulterated with a white substance and illegal.

    hand wraps that harden obviously help a combatant in a sport where the aim is to hit your opponent in his face

    Are some of you forgetting that human knuckles are actually pretty damn hard themselves? And that they have four points which lessen the impact surface? And that putting a hardened flat pad over them would likely diminish the power of a fighter's punches?

    it protects the knuckles which in turn allows the fighter to punch harder.

    Right. In and of itself it doesn't inflict any more damage. Still cheating, but not attempted murder or anything. I'd say it's on par or slightly below PED use, which seems to get sort of overlooked when say Roy Jones or Shane Mosley do it.
