I know several people that have known Magarito for years. By all accounts he is a gentleman and a hard working professional. I have yet to meet anybody in the boxing community that takes the "plaster of Paris wraps" nonsense seriously. What people that know him do talk about is how close he and his wife have always been; she worked to support him as he fought his way up. The hope is that he will come to his senses, stay retired and stay with the woman that he has loved for years.
The problem with the Internet is that, while everybody is entitled to an opinion, now they are all broadcast. There is a pretty thin line between being strong in your beliefs and being a shit talking buffoon.
Keep in mind, Tito Trinidad was cited for illegal wraps and the issue was an extra couple inches of tape. Next week you will all be calling him a cheater; I've seen some of you do it. If you had any freaking clue as to what goes on backstage at a boxing match...the number of people that inspect hand wraps before a fighter is allowed to glove up. What you dingbats are claiming happened is not possible. It just is not fucking possible.
