So the plaster did not matter?

[thiefery]

Cotto didnt neglected the body he said he couldnt hit him it was Marg guard

It was easier for Cotto to hit Margs in the head and Cotto got drunk trying to decapitate him, instead of trying to land to the body. COtto got over confident and showed off during that first RD..he though he would KO him within the first 5 rounds or so..

I think he had the same mentality as Rocky did.."he's only a man"

What about Oscar in their first fight? They were landing bombs like the entire fight....and that was a prime Mosley btw.

That Mosley was faster, but he didn't have the power he has today, because he was a small welterweight then, and he is a huge welter weight now.

I have no proof.. except what the public already knows

But.. sometimes you can just piece together certain things..

Prior to Fighting Mosley.. Margarito was often refered as things like "freak of nature" "a machine" "Unearthly"
Because let's face it.. The man is crude in the ring.. But he always has 3 things going for him.. His chin ,his stamina, and his PUNCHING..Notice how he didnt care WHERE his punches land?? This could easily be because if you are plastered.. Hitting the arms ,shoulders and body will be much more punishing than if you are just hitting with a glove..This will certainly wear man down..

But mostly.. If a man can take your bet shot.. and you cant take his.. it will destroy you mentally..

How come in the Mosley fight Margarito suddenly had no power?? Why did the punches that did land on Shane have little effect?? Mosley has a good chin..but he can be hurt and discouraged.. Shouldn't someone with "Freak of nature" power at least back the guy up?? where were those wind sucking body shots??? Those will breaking arm and shoulder punches ???

Mysteriously vanished from one fight to the next.. just like that..

NOW one thing we are CERTAIN of.. is that Margarito did not enter the Mosley fight with loaded gloves..

Simple logic would say.. that if previous to the Mosley fight.. Margarito had awesome power.. But in the Mosley fight seemed to be quite average in the power department.. The only obvious change was not having plaster.. same man, 6 months time difference from last fight, Glaring discrepancy in punch efficiency...

I ask you.. what else could it be????

Did Margarito suddenly become Human?? is he sick?? did someone steal his arms and replace them with weaker models?? Did he die and come back as a zombie ???

seriously please explain..

No one wants to touch this one eh??

You serious? Dude was not that small at welterweight...probably was like in the 150s on unofficial weight. Mosley came in like at 148 the fight before Oscar.

I get what your saying, but I'm not a fan of speculation. We won't know until Margarito fights again, it could have truly been just a bad night.

This is pathetic, Margarito beat Cotto fair and square until proven differently. Besides, in that fight with Mosely no one could have taken the shots the way Marg did for 9 rounds. Had Cotto eaten those shots he'd have been gone in the first 2 rounds. Cotto couldn't deal with the pressure against Marg. The key to beating Margo is to clinch when he gets inside, stop him before he starts to smoke. Cotto neglected to clinch, he got annhilated for his negligence, but not before he put up one hell of a fight that should surely go down as one of the best Rican/Mexican battles.

im PR and a monster cotto fan,
but i agree, we'll never know if margo used
plaster, and the fight itself was great,

and knowone should **** on cotto for what happned,
he put up a hell of a fight and should be proud.
