The guy sheated....the commission said he did...he got caught...now the question is how many times and did he destroy cottos career possibly with loaded hands
Yeah, especially when you catch them red handed (or plaster handed). :yep I think this is a little more than just an accusation at this point.
Now we know why Cotto was reeling after every punch he landed. Also explains why he appears to punch harder as a fight goes on with the paster casts drying. He should be suspended for at least a year.
Arum will require a "chain of custody" be presented to assure they are the same "wraps". If they didn't do that....then all bets are off cuz it won't stand up in court.
While what you say is true, don't you think it would be far more than UNWISE for HBO to have reported on it, if they hadn't known with quite certainty that there was issues with a substance and the wraps. I mean come on. HBO would be sued to bankruptcy by Margo if this is not what was going on in there. I don't believe they would have reported a "rumor" of such magnitude.
"Before the bout, his original hand wraps were removed and Mosley's attorney said "flecks of a substance" that appeared to be like plaster of Paris were found on pads wrapped atop his fist. His hands were re-wrapped, and the contents of the original wraps and the "flecks" were secured in a box. The California State Athletic Commission will begin "investigating" the contents of Margarito's hand wraps Monday in Sacramento, commission official William Douglas said Sunday." His wraps had a few flecks on and are being tested tomorrow. I think everyone (well, mainly the marg haters) are jumping the gun to say the test results aren't even back yet!!
The wraps were sent ot be examined and the results are not ifficially in yet. However, i must warn you that even if this man cheated, the commsion along with Bob Arum will cover this up. Just watch and se. They will not want to tarnish the name of one of the sports top draw! It will be Trinidad all over again. So, expect a cover up.
