Comments Thread For: Diaz: 'I Didn't Check Margarito's Wraps Before Cotto Bout'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier this year, veteran corner man Miguel Diaz and I talked in depth about his times with Puerto Rican superstar and WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto. Working for Top Rank as a chief trainer at the time, Diaz was introduced to Cotto early into his career and the two men spent countless days together on the island of Puerto Rico as the Boricua fighter honed his skills and prepared for his ascension towards greatness.

Is that one of the reasons he was dropped from the Cotto camp? Atleast he didn't lie to try to keep his job, he is honest about the situation.

I think I heard the before.

Cotto said that no one was from his team there when Cappetilo was putting wraps on Margarito

[Agent Mulder]

that's pretty sad. with that said, cungle is a bakla.

His hands were definatley loaded that night, I have never seen a fighter get busted up that quickley, and Margarito wasn't even landing that many punches.

Margarito landed 60 more power punches than Cotto and landed more power punches than Cotto did in every round except the first and third.

If Margarito's gloves were actually full of cement, I have a real hard time seeing how Cotto would survive a round where he gets hit with about 50 punches.
...especially when a lot of those shots were clean left uppercuts.

Ever heard of punctuation? Jesus Christ.

And Cotto didn't make any excuses at all. He never accused Margarito of having loaded gloves. Unless you're referring to the fans being the ones to make excuses? I really can't tell, you type like a ******.

Billy Collins Jr went the distance against someone using plaster and who cut their padding out of their gloves. Fighters who can take a decent punch, can take it. And even though Cotto has been shaken up in the past, he has showed signs of a pretty good chin. I'm not saying a granite chin, but his chins not as bad as people make it out to be at times.
