This hand wrap business is gonna drown Margarito. If you're trying to cheat an opponent that is a 4-1 underdog it isn't too difficult to imagine what he would do against an opponent that is favored.
I haven't decided whether or not he cheated Cotto. (though most of my fellow Cotto fans seem to have already made up their minds) But you have to admit it seems almost impossible that a fighter would score the biggest win of his career and upset the guy who most people see as "unbeatable" without any cheating whatsoever. But then, for whatever reason, decided he needed to cheat an "aging" Mosley.
Okay, you just beat the best fighter in the division without cheating, right? Do you bust out the plaster of Paris in your first defense against what is perceived to be a lesser opponent? If you've been cheating in other fights this logic makes sense but if you are a proud, Mexican warrior who can take a thousand punches to the face and then smile and proceed to knock out your opponent even when that "he" is Miguel Cotto it looks to the outside like you've had a serious mental breakdown and don't think you can win.
So I think Margarito either has cheated in the past and did cheat in the Cotto fight or that he has done everything with class and decency until last night, where he had an emotional breakdown and decided it was time to cheat. Either way, Margarito is a *****, thus all the hatred toward him.
I guess there is a third option, maybe he didn't know what his trainers were doing for him. Mosley knows all about that one.Comment
