ESPN - Resto: Wraps were doctored with plaster in fight vs. Collins - Boxing

Former welterweight Luis Resto has acknowledged that the beating he gave the late Billy Collins Jr. in 1983 -- in which, over 10 rounds, he pounded Collins with tampered gloves that each had two inches of padding removed -- was even worse than previously believed.
Resto, at a news conference on Thursday in New York, acknowledged that the tape used to wrap his hands in that fight had been soaked in plaster of Paris, giving him a pair of hardened casts underneath his unpadded gloves.
Collins suffered from blurred vision and depression after the June 16, 1983 fight. He died in a car accident about nine months later.

Unified heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko has two mandatory challengers to deal with, the WBO's Tony Thompson and the IBF's Alexander Povetkin, and both bouts are due. However, Klitschko plans to first defend against Thompson.
Shelly Finkel, Klitschko's adviser, told ESPN.com that they are in the process of trying to secure an exception from the IBF so Klitschko can first face Thompson.
Assuming they can obtain the exception, Klitschko-Thompson would take place July 12 on HBO in Germany, Finkel said.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- After two lopsided welterweight title fights, it's time for Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito to get it on in the ring.
That likely will happen this summer, and both champions can expect tougher outings than they had Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall.
Cotto battered Alfonso Gomez for five rounds to retain his WBA welterweight title and set up the fight with new IBF champion Margarito. Earlier, Margarito dominated Kermit Cintron for the second time, then knocked him out in the sixth round to win the IBF crown.

LAS VEGAS -- Joe Calzaghe still doesn't know what it's like to see his opponent's hand raised.
Since 1990, when he lost an amateur bout in Europe, through an 11-year reign as super middleweight champion, Calzaghe was perfect.
He still is, even if Bernard Hopkins disagrees.
Calzaghe, having cleaned out the 168-pound division with his lopsided victory against Mikkel Kessler in November, finally decided to bring his considerable game to American soil at age 36 for a stab at history. He found his mark, outpointing Hopkins on a razor-close split decision to win the light heavyweight world championship on Saturday night before an adoring crowd of 14,213 revelers, most of whom made the trip across the pond from his native Wales.
