This may have been posted previously - my apologies upfront; however, this is a good article about Cotto's maturity in the face of adversity. First time I heard that Cotto's corner did not send someone to check Margarito's wrapping in Vegas.
Regardless, it appears Cotto "mans up" and accepts accountability for that - he's a class act.

yeah but the gloves and handwraps get checked and approved by the NSAC so stop crying.
No one is crying here - this is the first time I ever heard that a corner rep wasn't there to check the wraps - that was big mistake on the Cotto camp.
he saw cotto on his knees again bowing to master margarito
Okay, I will match you fallacy for fallacy.
Cotto bowed before the master margarito.
margarito, the master sleight of hand artist, may not have done was well throughout his 'career' if he had not cheated but as they say, 'cop didn't see it, I didn't do it'.
Take that to the bank, xcaret.
Yeah, and the CSAC did a good job of finding those bits of plaster in the Mosely fight, didn't they? Someone had a palm greased or just too incompetent to check the wraps properly? I dunno, but the end result is that margorito cheated against mosely and imo cheated against Cotto as well (probably all of his more publicised fights).
Look guys! I know its hard for you all to swallow. So just do what I do and watch ssm pummel that ****** on youtube. I get an erection when he gets that last right hook in as the ref stops the fight! Did yall notice how the "BADAZZ" was crying from the beginning of the fight? It was like he was looking for some kind of edge from the ref! Guess I gotta watch it again! SYL cotto fans!
One thing I noticed in the article, which I didn't know, is that Miguel Diaz won't be in his corner for the Clottey fight? I wonder why that is. It hasn't been reported that Miguel Diaz had anything to do with the Miguel - Evangelista thing so why would the cutman not stay with the camp (especially one of the best in the business).
I guess he just wants to start over and not have anything to do with his old team except for Joe that is.

It was because of money issues.
which seem weird to me because Cotto and Diaz were really close and he listened everything he told cotto.

and how do you know margarito used plaster against cotto? Now stfu
You hatefull little f@g. I know he cheated because unlike your dumb nuthugging ass I got something called common sense. You would never admit to him cheating even if he confessed or much less the possibility of him cheating. So go hug on some mexican nuts or stick Manny Pac dolls up your ass and keep your shit opinion to yourself.

lol poor pocho.
are unicorns real XCACA?
What it really sad is that mexican boxing is so slow right now that all you have to do is actually trying to back a cheater.
good luck with that.
You gotta respect Cotto who ever you a fan of be it May,Margo or whoever. Dude fights EVERYONE. He didn't need to fight Margo could have waited for a payday vs DLH instead he fought the best available opponent. Now he fighting Clottey who none of the big names wanna fight.
I don't see the big deal here, so what if Margarito beat Cotto fair.Does that make Cotto a chump if he did. I saw Tiberi whip James Toney's ass in Atlantic City.Toney got the win but everyone knows Tiberi whipped him. Was Toney a punk because of it? I'm a Cotto fan and unless its proven otherwise Margarito beat him fair.
What bothers me is the wraps tony had were used. The only way to explain that is the story they gave about the sparring partner using them before. I can't buy that story so I have a feeling this wasnt the first time Tony did some dastardly shit.
I am glad Cotto is able to man up and accept defeat, unlike so many of his nuthugging fans. In addition, he said he would fight Marg again if her returned. Gotta love it.
this was in cali, they are more strict in nevada.
How would your dumb ass know? All you do in your spare time is hug mexican fighters nuts and hate on the pinnoy who knock them out.
yeah but the gloves and handwraps get checked and approved by the NSAC so stop crying. yea just like one of the gloves was checked and approved by the csac for the mosley fight. then tell me what happened when nazim went into marg's locker room? lmao.

Well, whatever the case. It can just be a case of human error, I mean commisioners proberbly view fighters hand wrapped before a fight ALOT they might just become complacent in their jobs becuase they don't expect any cheating, they could just get caught up in the excitiment of it all, there were 20,000+ people there.
It could have just been human error, i'm not saying Margarito did cheat during that fight but he tried in the Mosley fight and he was caught so his career will whether true or not have a question mark

Yet, it was Richardson instead of a commision who spotted the wrap...
