[quote=OnixAA;674887]Don't limit yourself to just this article. It was said specifically right before the fight that is was plaster like substance and in almost every article they are calling it plaster of paris. Even the doctor who observed it said it was like the plaster we make for cast. Lets be real here instead of bias.
I'm waiting for the official undeniable findings and report,I agree with the temp suspension,ecspecially of head trainer...pending such.Loyalties must not over shadow proven facts and rules.Can you say 'conflicted'?I do however find the initial pile on and speculative broad tearing down of a mans character & career pretty damn f!!!!ked up!!
I too was really becoming a big fan of Margarito. But I would not be so bias as to ignore this horrible act just because I am a fan. Some people just won't let themselves get it. This is the worse crime in boxing. People die without loading your wraps. This greatly heightens hurting someone permanently maybe unto death. Despicable. If convicted he needs banned. A message must me sent to everyone that boxing will not tolerate this and the fighter's safety is the biggest concern.
IMO , no matter or what , what decision could take on this final investigation and in the Hearing in February 10 , Margaro now have his reputation blemished , you are not suspended temporary just because you have not made something illegal , the act was done , is sad , really , really sad ...................
The trust and reputation are a things that you get with sacrifice and when loss it you can loss it in a seconds............
What does that have to do with anything? So because Richardson or whoever made them rewrap their hands they all of a sudden couldn't fight? It kind of looked like Tito and Tony were throwing punches to me. Favored does not equal lock and the substance found in Margarito's hand wraps have nothing to do with any head games Richardson may or may not have been playing. Let's wait for the official ruling and then see if you can spin that. Stop being such a fanboy and use common sense.
Here's Tony's career:

Both of 'em could do time in prison.
If its plaster of paris which is casting plaster with no added cemicals for flexability and glue style hardening then its a Stupid ass thing to do for no real massive gain.
We use casting plaster at work every day it isnt really that strong would be good for a round or maybe two but would be dust and then with the sweat would get softer still.
If it was still in lumps after a fight then there was alot in there and it was thick to start with and basted between layers of guage like laying up resin and cloth. Plaster on its own has no real strength same as resin.
If its in there in visable quantities after that many hits ,they ment it to be there. Its no mistake like a "whoops we used some powder sorry we thought it was talcum powder",wont cut it.
I got this off of the internet;
I am a Dental Lab Technician. I play with plaster all day long. Plaster breaks easy unless the stone is super thick. Plaster of paris comes in powder form and is mixed with water. takes about 45 minutes for plaster to set. takes 24hours to set to it maximum strength. Once plaster is set it becomes hard. However if exposed to a moist environment it will weaken and crumbles easy. That is why doctors tell the patients to not wet the cast. Now in order for Margo to use plaster in the gloves mixed with gauze, it has to be thick like more than 1/2 inch in thickness and keep it dry. No plaster used, take my word, read my lips.Additional Details

Ok you are all wonderful with your comments. It was something they used but plaster is impossible. I am telling man, plaster is not like fiberglass that you can layer very thin and still make it strong.
One article said the gauze was scratched and flakes came off it.
Another quote from boxingscene.com:
If wet plaster was indeed used, his trainer is an idiot. Wet plaster is not going to harden over 20 minutes inside of boxing gloves. Not only would it not have dried inside the glove, but as it was attempting to dry and set, every punch Tony threw would have cracked the still soft plaster. I've never experimented with loaded gloves... but summer after summer working on houses with my dad did teach me the in's and out's of plaster. No way could wet plaster have set inside gloves during the duration of a boxing match.... Over night with absolutely no sweat coming through the wraps... maybe.
