I think that the 'plaster' comments are confusing people. While plaster was not identified in Margarito's wraps, the presence of the inserts that were in fact in there prior to the Mosely fight can lead people to believe that the inserts were probably used prior. While the inserts are not 'plaster' they contain plaster compounds and are illegal to use during fights anyway. I am one to assume that the inserts have probably been used before by habit. They alone would not give Margarito KO power to stop Cintron or many of his other fights however.
With that said Cotto dropped the ball on Margarito. He was a sucker for the uppercut, and his nose was broken early because of it. Cotto expended far too much energy headhunting and fighting an usual style and he expended far too much energy. With that said, Cotto was not beaten silly. He was beaten into exhaustion. Margarito even with 'plaster' did not have Cotto in serious trouble or wobbled. He tired the **** out of Cotto and battered him pretty well. Cotto was able to make the conscious decision to yield and allow the better man, one who weathered a hell of an early storm from Cotto, to have his moment.
This is coming from an avid Cotto fan, and a person who doesn't really care much for Margarito.
