Emanuel Steward does not agree. I think it you think about it... removing gauze (soft) and replacing it with plaster (hard) and that 1/4 or so of extra cushion is gone... I think it does factor in in terms of cuts and breaks etc but YOU are correct and I have been saying this all along. I wonder too if such wraps allow you to punch more without damaging your hands as much? Who knows.. Loaded wraps seem to produce cuts and NOT 1 punch power. That comes from within.
Im not sure people even know what plaster of paris is used for. People mix it, alongside compound to fix holes in walls. It takes about a few hours to dry and thats only because its smeared onto something and its usually applied in large amounts. If you actually took a small amount of it, just to administer it to a handwrap, once it molds itself, you have a dangerous weapon on your hands Fact that people try to throw it under the rug like he stole candy from the corner store only proves how much they're ****ing ******ed
- Referee stopped fight so that the doctor could examine Luján's left ear, which was disattaching from his head, from the top of the ear down to the middle, where it was flapping as he moved. Luján's corner then threw in the towel. The same ear had bled the two previous rounds, which the ESPN announcers said was possibly from the inner ear.
don't be an idiot.....Resto literally had his hands DIPPED in plaster...and had about half of the padding taken OFF......that puerto rican KNEW what he was doing. look at his reaction after the fight with collins. look at the way he looked directly at his trainer after collins' father grabbed his glove....that is the behavior of someone GUILTY. Margarito was a completely different story. it has never even been proven that margarito has ever used it. Even with cotto....if he would have known it was in his gloves why the HELL would he take off his gloves in front of the whole world to see?? a guilty person (like resto) wouldn't take off their gloves... just curious though......where are these so called "blocks" that supposedly fell out before the mosely fight? i have yet to see them lol. the only thing i've seen is some picture of some random gauze that had elements which "can also be found in" plaster of paris........which "can also be found" in a whole bunch of OTHER **** :deal
smashed noses happen all the time....marquez broke his nose in the first round against pacquiao ....so?
people expect a fighter badly cut, swalling blood and with trouble to breath from nose and mouth, NOT to gass out in the last rounds??? especially if you box that style??? 2011- remove the grotesque swelling, swallowing of blood and the ****e'd up nose and you have cotto executing his original gameplan of outboxing margarito without gassing out and taking the shots better this time around its pretty clear guys. . . . . night and day
