is the Margo investigation over yet?

No.

 

yes but it's to protect the knuckles, not to damage the opponent...

 

Yes...as long as its guaze then it's all gravy

 

Every boxer wears a knuckle pad made of gauze to protect their hands. The issue is whether there was a hardening agent placed on the gauze that would stiffen up. It was suspected that something of the sort took place because Richardson thought the padding was harder then normal and looked wet but until we find out the lab results no one will truly know the answer to that question.

The CSAC's position is that Margarito bears responsibility whether he knew what was going on or not. They also mentioned that even if the test results come back negative for any type of hardening agent they won't reverse their decision because they felt that the gauze was wet which is more a technicality then anything else.

Currently, neither Mosley, Roach nor Steward believes that Margo should be punished assuming there was an illegal hardening agent in the gauze. It's the trainers job to prepare the pads and wrap the hands as far as they are concerned. Whatever the result, chances are Margarito will have a long road towards redeeming himself and repairing the damage done to his reputation.

 

Some make it on the fly while others prepare it ahead of time.

:good

 

This is the longest investigation on plaster ever. They should just get a drywaller in the lab, he could tell you in a second. Or even better has the gauze gotten significantly harder since they had it? Like really they have turned this into some kind of mad scientist CSI investigation. If it is plaster are they going to end up banning him or was the decision on a one year suspension final?

 

Margarito is gone for a year!! What else do you want???

 

Get the **** out of here that pad is still in the lab dip**** how can they rule it illegal if they dont know if there is anything illegal in it.
