Breaking down Margarito's " Plaster Myth "

[IamInuit]

Didnt De La Hoya and Trinidad use similar things? Screwed up tape or something that was placed berween the fingers?

With Tito it was gauze direction not inserts and his gloves were signed off 39 times before using the same method. With Tito it was part of the whole flag thing and taking his head out of the fight.

With Oscar Roach used to twist shipping tape, that clear stuff and I have no clue how they got away with actually using that as part of their wrap around.

It was Oscar.

The more you learn the more its just one upmanship. Drugs, faking samples, refusing tests, shaving gloves, taping gloves, loading wraps etc.....

Its frustrating because the big name boxers will get a certain amount of leeway because they generate money.

I dont believe he ever did but Mike Tyson was THE biggest gravy train. If he ever tested positive or was found to have anything in his gloves you can bet that whoever discovered it would think twice before saying anything. Mike doesnt fight... Thats millions for everyone down the pan. Even his opponent would probably turn a blind eye, on a career high payday.

That was just an example of why certain people might be getting away with cheating.
