From what i hear, the wraps weren't technically illegal. They were just a little fishy. So props to Nazeem for catchin it. All the other trainers didn't notice how the hands were wrapped. And the officials didn't notice it either.
Basically from what i hear is that the wraps were like a gauze material which is what everyone is accustomed to. Over time the gauze starts to harden, which is similar to the type of material they use on a cast. So when they check on the wraps it looks normals because of its texture, but once the gloves get laced up it starts to harden.
That might be why it was hard to pick up on.

"Several eye-witness sources close to the controversy have described the substance removed from the Margarito dressing room as “plaster-like”, “plaster of Paris”, “a substance designed to harden after getting wet”. The sources making these descriptions are very credible. "

1. Did marg touch his chest, where cottos blood was. Or 2. did marg have a cast under his wraps that broke and caused his pinky knuckle to bleed. or #3when cotto went over to congratulate marg did he drip blood on margs wraps or what.
IMO i think scenario #2 is more likeable.

Besides that, I'd like to see if other boxers' wrappings have looked that hard around the knuckles area. I just don't think they look normal, but it's pure speculation and I'm jumping to no conclusions until something official comes about (which it won't).
I will, however, always sort of view Margs with su****ion whenever he fights from now on - which is sad, because I was just starting to like the guy thanks to the Cotto fight.

I suppose it could be from an injured knuckle. But it it's still a longshot IMO unless there was reports of a handinjury to Margarito following the fight.
