This is amusing. First of all, we will never KNOW for sure. We are all just speculating.
But educated speculation, with actually WATCHING that fight, and knowing the sport, knowing the fighters, absolutely NOTHING looks out of the ordinary in Margarito-Cotto.
I mean, has anyone seen the Margarito destructions of Cintron? He had Paul Williams, a guy with a heavyweight frame, backing up and hurting him. Margarito is a powerful fighter. Watch the Cotto fight again, people. Cotto was getting hammered in there. Constantly. He hung in there longer than I thought he would as I saw it live, because he was getting brutalized on the inside and with those wide punches to the head.
And MOST IMPORTANTLY, nobody (and I mean NOBODY) did I say NOBODY? Yes, NO-****ing-body said a single word about anything looking odd or seeming abnormal about the fight that night after the fact. Not until after the Mosely incident, now everyone is dialing in their hindsight. LOL "Oh yeah, I ...uh....thought something was odd about how Margarito was hurting him... Yeah. I did." Really? Cause you didn't SAY **** about it until the Mosely incident.
Raphael is a Cotto fan, it's cool. But I think it's irresponsible of him as a journalist to say that Margarito cheated, because he simply does NOT know, and NOTHING looked odd about the fight whatsoever. If it DID, someone would've said something. It's only now after the Mosely thing that he, and other Cotto fans (understandably), are going back and looking at that fight, trying to see things that aren't there... and telling themselves they see it.
Margarito brutalized Cotto. He took everything that Cotto could throw, and Cotto became tired and Margarito just started putting it on him. It's simple.
