The margarito hand wrap Controversy

[El Dominicano]

it is a tad over hyped in this day and age, having plaster under your wraps (especially under a few layers of guaze) isn't going to make a drastic difference other than give him a more solid fist, but nothing devistating. Knuckles are just as hard as plaster.

It was cheating though, wonder why he felt the need to cheat.

Now look at the 2 things in the bold? How isn't it gonna make a drastic difference? Be serious

[Margacheato]

Knuckles on top of your knuckles doesn't make a difference at all.

All of a sudden HBO is no longer a credible source of information.

Care to point out previous occasions where HBO has been wrong my friend?

Lets not forget everytime they try to accuse mayweather of lying about his hands and try to make good fighters sound like **** for example mayweather

What is there about those videos that proves your point?

Merchant criticizing Floyd? Roy Jones and Merchant bickering?

What am I missing?

You'd think if he really was doin this in all his fights, Marg would have a much higher KO percentage in his wins, and his opponents would all be ruined or permanently injured. This is why I refuse to believe he's made a career habit outta this **** til it's somehow proven unquestionably. Too bad most won't wait so they can form their hateful opinions based on actual facts.

I wonder ....if.... since most everyone is speculating anyway. I offer scenerio B, which doesn't forgive any cheating, but offers a mentality excuse.

What if margarito had never done this before, his wins are all legit. However he's now a star, and he's fighting against a guy who's never been knocked out, and someone very influential in his life comes up to him and says "if you beat shane mosely you prove nothing, he's old, on his way out. You need to knock this guy out, to remain a marketable fighter"

seems far fetched i know, but we don't have details now, and i will remain a margarito fan until i get enough details that i can make an educated decision.

Wonder why we haven't heard **** about this topic except on this website and drama queen Lampley's brief monologue.

You'd think it there was smoke, there'd be all kinds of fire, but there doesn't seem to be any.

Did you know that Luis Resto won by unanimous desicion and not a ko. He had plaster in his wraps and padding removed from his gloves.
