Margarito knew he needed plaster to defeat Cotto

[LilGizmo562]

There is no proof that he used wraps against Cotto...

Now, lets get to the bottom of this..

First off, Margo's style is all wrong for Cotto. I really wish Cotto fans would understand this. Margo would KO COtto if Cotto stands and trades. Cotto will also get beat down if he runs (he does not have the stamina to do so for 12 rounds). Stewart will not help either.

You cats act like plaster just did the whole job for Margo. I guess Cotto being hit more in that fight than he had in any other fight had nothing to do with it, right?

Now lets talk about the damge to Cotto's face. The uppercut is one of the most damaging punches in boxing. Do to the fact that most never see it coming, and the angle that it is delivered. Cotto got hit with like 78 uppercuts...Like 12 were in the second round...You know, the round were Cotto's nose got broke, and face started swelling. Oh wait!! It takes 7 or 8 rounds for the plaster to set!..... Cotto only suffered a cut in the later part of the fight. Funny how folks still to this day can't admit this.

Bottom line-

For anyone that looks at that fight with an unbiased eye, will see how Margo destoryed Cotto.

Head and body. Heart and mental.

Plaster did not play the factor that many will try and make you believe. Still there is no proof. Just an excuse for Cotto fans, and Margo haters.

Margo will crush Cotto again if they fight. Then what? Oh that's right, a Rican radio station will make up another lie about Margo being on roids.....

I guess if you see it from an unbiased point of view, you could see it differently, I agree its a bad style match-up for Cotto and the uppercuts he was getting hit with were bad...(I remember Tony throwing like 5-6 in a row and landing ALL of them)...I think he cheated...but like you said no one had proof, I'll have to see Tony in against a live opponent to make any further judgement...Green K for you.

Thanks for the mature response brotha.

I have never got bent out of shape for someone thinking Margo cheated. The only thing that gets to me, is when folks act like plaster was all that was needed. It wasn't.

Tony did alot of great things in that fight to break Cotto. I happen to feel he didn't cheat, but that is just my opionin. Proof can change that.

Till then-

I think people should focus on the punishment Cotto took from rounds 1-7 (since it takes 7 rounds for the plaster to set).

Cotto was a deadman walking by round 8. From uppercuts and body shots, not plaster.


P.S. I already know someone will come in and say, "but every shot had the force of a brick or concrete"......Whatever. To that person I say only this, Believe whatever you like. Margo will also win a rematch with Cotto. Margo's style beats Cotto's seven days a week, and twice on sunday. Book it!

No problem, I agree with alot of things that you said, but sadly most people that won't listen are either Ricans or like you said Marg haters...not much you can do to change their opinion, another thing I found interesting, I'm sure you caught the Cotto vs Pac did you notice Cotto's face was just as ****ed if not even more in that fight than in the Tony fight?

[paulf]

There is absolutely not the slightest amount to evidence to prove Margarito did or did not have his hands illegally wrapped that night. We'll never know unless he comes out and admits it. Threads like this are a waste of time.

He was winning those rounds no doubt, but you also have to remember Cotto was eating A LOT of punches as well, and with the broken nose, body shots and all the punches he was throwing, I can also see why he was getting hit more and more as the fight went on (Tired).

There was no need to bring that up. I'm sure all the people that complained about Cotto's face after the Margo fight, saw that Manny could do the same thing.

Like I have told folks many times before, they acted as if Cotto was sort of iron faced dude or some thing.

Clottey busted him up.

Mosley busted him up.

Margo busted him up.

Pac busted him up.

Urkell (or whatever his name is) busted him up.

Zab almost ripped his bottom lip from his face....

The man does not take punishment well at all.

If he was worth a damn he would've already been brought up on assault charges Luis Resto and Panama Jack style. It's sad, but I've seen the photos of Margaritos handwraps at the Cotto fight and you can undeniably see the pink plaster material on his handwraps. Appalling, that people get behind this guy. I would rather someone do steroids for ten years than use plaster on their handwraps. I hope this guy ends up getting knocked out so hard that a year later he's drooling Gerber baby food all over himself on his own couch and ****ting his pants.

no proof he used plaster on cotto

off topic:

IGNORE IS FOR BITCHES

If you didn't act like such a child, I wouldn't feel utterly compelled to. But you see, if I were to actually argue with a troll like you in public, that's coming down to your level in front of the public...not my style...If it makes you feel any better, you're the first person on my ignore list. Kick rocks...make more alts

[Iceta Lives]

If Cotto and his fans feel like he was cheated, then Cotto needs to be willing to get back into the ring and fight him again to end the speculation.
