Antonio Margarito Vs Miguel Cotto Controversy
Cotto lost his WBA World Welterweight Title to Antonio Margarito on July 26, 2008 by TKO on the 11th round. But Antonio Margarito was suspended along with his trainer Javier Capetillo because they put plaster of Paris to wrap Margarito's hands. This is illegal in boxing, because the only substances that you can use as a wrapper on a boxer's hands are gauze and tape. Antonio Margarito and trainer Javier Capetillo tried to slip plaster of Paris to Margarito's hands before Margarito's fight with Shane Mosley last January 24, 2009. But Shane Mosley and his trainer Nazim Richardson noticed a white substance that is on Margarito's knuckles. They ask for it to be removed. Then an investigation was conducted and it was a plaster of Paris, which is the same substance used in casts.
On November 2009, it emerged that the red stains on the hand wraps of Antonio Margarito used in his fight with Miguel Cotto were similar to the stains on the inserts seized before the Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosley fight. Both were plaster of Paris. This has raised suspicions that Margarito's gloves were loaded for that fight, and possibly others as well.
