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.

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.

I do wet plaster work all the time, I always mix my own from a bag, there are different compounds and I usually use the stuff that hardens in 20 minutes, that gives me enough time to work it before it sets up but they also have the mixes that set up in 5 minutes to 60 minutes. Chemical reaction hardens it when mixed with water, and real plaster hardens like a rock, seal it in gauze and tape in the shape of the knuckles and it will not break apart. This is not drywall board.

These are accusations right now but if true then he should be banned and his accomplishments doubted, this is like the fight with Collins and Resto, where Resto served prison time and admitted to Collins wife later that not only did they take padding out of gloves but the wraps were also loaded with such a substance. That is how Resto was able to bust up Collins and Collins told his corner that it felt like he was getting hit with bricks between rounds. Resto's gloves were confiscated but the wraps were discarded after the fight. You can research this on google.
