Margarito and the wraps

[rjj tszyu]

For me he used them vs Cotto. Cotto's face was worsening with each punch!

As for evidence of that, all we have are pictures....

...after the Cotto fight.

You can see (unless you're blind or a fanboy) that something is obviously wrong with his wraps...now if you're the NSAC and you just "allowed" a fighter to use loaded wraps and didn't do anything about it, then you'd better cover your ass and deny everything and lose any evidence that might say otherwise, which is precisely what happened.

Maybe the athletic commissions can require all fight gloves and wraps be removed in the ring for inspection after the fights. Not really a time consuming task, many fighters do it anyway so I don't see why anyone would object to it.

Very true, but that would involve proper oversight, non-smarmy people, and common sense and well, this is boxing

They do inspect them right after the fight. Not thoroughly though.

Ah.. no they don't! I've seen many a fighter leave the ring and others doing interviews with the wraps on and they never get inspected. So I highly doubt it is in the rule books. The wraps are inspected and signed inspected before the fight not after.

I don't think it's mandatory for the commisioner guys to check the gloves after the fight. But I've seen some of them eyeballs the removing of gloves. Check out last Pacquiao's or the Donaire fight.

You might be right about an inspection, but its more likely the responsibility would then be with sanctioning body rather than the commission. For the sanctioning body, there is no accountability if they fuk it up. For the commission to fuk up, it's a whole different thing. If it is in the rules and the responsibility is with the commission then the wraps and gloves condition would be kept in a log or something like it and we would have known if Margarito's wraps were loaded.
