Antonio Margarito's gloves were NEVER loaded, irrefutable facts.

tell me what the right test is for detecting plaster of paris. The Bureau of Forensic Services at the California Department of Justice seemed to think it was X-Ray Fluorescence.

perhaps they should have consulted you first?

 

And just to make it clear, I have no issue with anyone who believes he didn't load against Cotto, or even that Margarito didn't know what was in his gloves in the Mosley fight.

Those are beliefs, and people can choose what to believe.

But we KNOW what was in his gloves that night. The lab confirms it, the inspectors confirm it.

 

"trace" here simply means "evidence".

The burglar left a trace of his exit, etc.

Has nothing to do with quantity.

 

your source is James Slater of EastSideBoxing, not the actual report?

Marc Hauser quotes the report in his article:

“Calcium and sulpher, two elements found in plaster of Paris, were found on the submitted gauze pad using an X-ray fluorescence [XRF] spectrometer. The elements calcium, sulpher, and oxygen are found in plaster of Paris. These three elements are also found in substances other than plaster. Oxygen is not detectable by XRF.”

That's your legit source? An article by ESB summarizing another article?

 

Speaking of, you do know the inspector signed off on one wrap Richardson admits it, they admit it, why wasnt he fired? seriously thats his ****ing job if he had plaster why is he still working?

and 2nd, the lab confirms trace elements found, no brick at all and one of you doubters are going to have to explain how that is supposed to help him in a fight when he is using 10 yards of gauze on each hand and he has an 8 ounce glove on.....

:deal
TRACE ELEMENT

: a chemical element present in minute quantities; especially : one used by organisms and held essential to their physiology

 

give it up, the report never uses the word "trace", James Slater a blogger for ESB used that word.

 

No it was an LA Times article I cant find it right at the moment but I know exactly the article and its true they said trace elements there was even an ESPN article I am going through the archives right now

 

My source is Marc Hauser quoting verbatim the original source of the report for the Bureau of Forensic Services.

give it up.

 

Sure it is!!! you have proof of that?

 

having been a certified XRF operator at one time, this quote sums it up. it will detect the elements of sulfur and calcium, but cannot determine alone if it was plaster or paris, gypsum...etc. it is an analytical tool used for screening and developing educated assumptions in this case. forensics relies heavily on this principle.
