If you start punching with loaded gloves you can hurt your opponent without putting all your strength to deliver a powerful shot. This helps you have more stamina, because you're putting a less effort on your punches. Does anyone get tired throwing jabs as much as right hooks?
Your opponent will also be intimidated and be less willing to exchange shots. Backing off to avoid the power shots.
Haven't you ever heard that the best defense is a good offense? Well sometimes thats true. Especially for a fighter that has power on his punches. So Margarito having loaded gloves prevented Cotto from putting on a better offense. He would be more willing to go foward if he wasn't afraid of the powerful shots from his adversary. This gave Margarito more protection.
