Today's Episode is about a Mexican-American former boxer who competed between 1994 and 2017. He held multiple welterweight world championships, including the WBO title from 2002 to 2007, the IBF title in 2008, and the WBA (Super) title from 2008 to 2009. Nicknamed El Tornado de Tijuana ("The Tijuana Tornado"), Margarito was known for his aggressive pressure fighting style and exceptionally durable chin. In 2009, just before his fight with Shane Mosley, Margarito was involved in an incident where he was caught with illegal hand wraps containing gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) which, when combined with moisture, forms plaster of Paris, this lead to him being banned from boxing for at least a year. Furthermore, some of his wins came into question, for example, his stoppage victory over Miguel Cotto in 2008 was subsequently called into question.
