    Shane says the "pad" was over the knuckles and describes it as plaster saying it becomes like a cast. He said the first signs that made him think he had Margarito was the body shots he threw and the way Margarito reacted as well as the fact that when they were in clinches he felt he was stronger. He also said that being such a big underdog was a big motivational factor and he basically wanted to destroy whoever he was fighting. He didn't say anything bad about Margarito. Says he's know him for awhile and everyone got along fine.
    This is all from his interview on the Best Damn Sports Show.

    Well if the guy he was fighting says he cheated that pretty much rules out any doubt

    Shane didn't specifically say he cheated but yeah that is pretty incriminating. He was trying not to talk down on Margarito because Shane's a real nice guy ya know.

    One has to wonder if it will be covered up like about everything else in boxing?

    Horrid news.

    Mosley himself is a cheater, why would he go for broke on this news?
    He's just as guilty himself.

    They asked him about it so he told the truth. He also told the truth that he cheated in one fight. Margarito most likely has done this for a while if he was doing it against a 37 yr old.

    A cheater snitching on another cheater. Hilarious:lol: Margarito needs to be suspended for at least a year if its true.

    There's no evidence for that, none whatsoever. Nor does it sound like Mosley directly said Margarito was guilty of anything in their fight.

    Can't people just wait before all the damn facts come in. I cannot believe how boxing fans just rush to judgment on this!

    I'm not a Margarito fan but I hate to see this happen in boxing. Still I doubt anything will happen. Everything gets covered up.

    Ready made explanation. Even if no charges are brought, the same people who are concluding he's guilty, without any clear evidence, are simply gonna continue saying the same crap, even though it was never proven. Sickening.

    I think Shane would know what it was since his trainer caught it. Shane wouldn't just make it up. Obviously he's not that kind of person. Shane's too nice a guy to flat-out call Margarito a cheater anyway.

    Well they confiscated the stuff so if no one ever hears what the test results were, don't you think that is a bit suspicious?

    But what did Mosely himself see, if anything? Is he just repeating what he heard.

    In the absence of chemical tests, all this is a more unsubstantiated allegations.

    If they had proof positive, they would charge him with something. The confiscating of wraps, in and of itself, proves NOTHING.
