If the reports are correct,and I wasnt there so I cant say,it was slid in to the wrap pads.When your wrapping a fighter,you usually have the pad pre-made just to expedite matters,it goes right over the knuckles and then gets taped down in to the wrap.
All I do know is theyve admitted to soaking the gauze,which is technically legal,but thats really pushing it. If they slipped a hard insert in to the wrap pads,1 year isnt long enough. Ali used to have inserts,but they were legal rubber inserts to protect his hands better.
I wasnt there,and its not my fight,so I dont know what happened,but if theyve allready suspended him for a year,theyre pretty sure they have something. Unless of course the Guvernator leaned on the comission really hard.
And I dont care what Bob says,he'll book in Cali again once this all blows over.
