I thought Margarito beat Cotto fair and square. He seemed to do everything right in that fight. He cut the ring off, uppercut Cotto, and body punches. But in his next fight, he seemed to have underestimated Shane's power. I thought Margarito is a type of pressure fighter where Cotto could not land a good body punch and he is also a sucker for the left hook which is Mosley money punch. Thoughts...

Disregard the plaster issue, what did Marg do wrong in the Mosley fight to lose it?

easy, he got caught trying to cheat like 20 minutes before the fight. It was probably on his mind big time. It is like when someone gets caught doing something bad and they can't look a person in the eye except it's in a ring and he gets punch shy plus Mosley was pissed off at him.

he was facing a man with a ****in great gameplan & attributes to implement that gameplan against him...
marg is poor in improvising & his ability to adjust is really suspect...

Just was not Margarito's night. He got caught right before this fight trying to load his wraps, something that would weight heavy on his mind. He also weighed pretty light compared to what he usually comes at. Also Mosley came out like an animal with the perfect gameplan. Clinch Margo to tire him and destroy the body. Late in the fight when he's tired his punch resistance will fall, which is when Mosley KO'd him.

yeah he looked nervous about the whole thing, but thats not a valuable answer so leaving that aside ( that like or not was a big factor IMO )
Styles make fights and mosley style had "troubles" written all along for margo
