... how many fighters have been using illegal handwraps. This case of Margarito should be a warning if anyone has being trying to cheat in their fights.
If I was a trainer, knowing what goes in in this business from now on I'd be in my opponents locker every single fight watching his hands getting wraped. You can no longer trust The California State Athletic Commission to do their job right. Or any commision anywhere for that matter.
According to San Rafael's post the other day...he heard it was more widespread and not such an isolated incident with Margie.... I think Margie's appears to be the worst.....remember Lujan's ear? Cotto's face? a sparring partner of whom Margie broke the orbital bone around his eye? Margie doesn't have one punch knock out power.....but getting hit with a light weight cinderblock is punishing. Ummm, no wonder he typically cranks it up after a few rounds when the sweat has hardened the substance.
Thousands of fighters will have used illegal handwraps. This could be easily solved by the Commission official handing out the bandages that are to be used to the trainers, and watching them wrap the hands. They allow the fighter to open their own drug sample bottles, so why not make them open their own bandages?
