No plaster like substance was found in Tonys wraps

[VERSION1 (V1)]

You aren't following me... "Zaazim" as you call him, only claimed he noticed the knuckle pads were a little higher than normal. They began unwrapping the hands that the packed gauze fell out. Im saying that the "hard substance" was hidden inside the knuckle pads before they were placed on Toni's hands. EVERY fighter wears knuckle pads... all it is is a bunch of gauze you put over the top of the knuckles, and then put the tape over the gauze and pads. It just so happens that beneath the layers of gauze in his knuckle pads, there were hardened gauze. Thats why I said that if Toni's trainer walked in with two knuckle pads (chunks of gauze), Toni would not have known if it was 100% gauze or loaded... he would have just seen GAUZE

All I know is when everybody gets their hands wrapped, they know what's in them," Cotto said. "They know if there's something in their hand wraps or not. As a fighter, you know if there's something in there

There is more than one way to skin a cat, and more than one way to wrap a hand. Most of the times, and I'm no expert, but I've had my own hands wrapped and have seen it done many times during my brief and pathetic attempt at promotion. The knuckle pads are supposed to be crosslayers of gause, anywhere from 10, 15, maybe 25 thick, depending on what you want and what you can get away with. Those pads can be made right in front of you as your watching, or the trainer can make them an hour before, a day before... hell, he can make them before his fighter is born. I know you've seen gauze rolled up before they are used. Its a big puff of sterile cotton. If I walked in with two puffs of white cotton and called them knuckle pads, and said "I'm going to put these on your hands", you wouldn't know if it was cotton all the way through, if I had a chunk of moist gauze in the middle (which right now is all the Margarito camp is guilty of), if I had Jelly Beans wrapped up in their, if I had a used condome wrapped up in there... the point is, you would see a layers of white gauze.

I'm only saying its possible that Margarito didn't know. If you're naive enought to believe my scenario is the ONLY possibility, you're a damn fool. If you believe my scenario is not entirely possible... you're an even bigger fool and a waiste of oxygen.

Well sounds like Tony actually won in that he learned a life lesson about unconditional trust

John Scully said essentially the same thing that Cotto said.

Good post.

My bad on the typo.....

I suppose its possible but it doesnt seem likely to me that the trainer would just stick it in there without him knowing. Just doesnt add up to me.

Yeah, it is VERY possible that Toni had NO idea... but I'm with you bro. It doesn't add up to me. You would think Toni would wonder "Why do you always go off by yourself to prepare my knuckle pads?" I think I'm building up the reputation of a Margarito fanatic. Thats not it at all. I'm not looking for absurd ways to prove his innocene. My only goal is to combat ignorance. Today, I present a counter argument.... tomorrow, I may deliver some books to underpriviledge children. Who knows? The goal is to teach people to think.
