I know he was busted but was it powder in wraps or an object?

gauze mix with plaster, little blocks. See the interview with Naz and there are some photos floating around with the evidence that went to a hearing with the California DA first and then the CSAC.

Cotto fan here, but he needs to make up his mind on wether he thinks margarito had the wraps or not. One minute he says yes, the next no. He can say that the fight is behind him, but he knows deep down inside that fight still affects him.

Cotto should get another shot at manny also, I believe he has the ability to win it with stewart and a good game plan. If this fight with tony happens and if Cotto wins it puts him in line for manny and the added confidence of a win vs margarito may be the difference in rematch. I don't believe cotto has gotten over Margarito emotionally

Eventhough I have never been sold on Cotto as a fighter. I have earned even more respect for him now.....

"The only one who can answer that is him, but there are some pictures taken of him after the fight and he has a pink bandage on his fists, which is the same color as the bandage that was confiscated in the fight with Mosley," Cotto said. "We all know how the fight played out. The first six rounds I was up [on points] and then I made mistakes, with or without the handwraps [being involved]."

Miguel Cotto

I always said that no matter what about the wraps. Cotto would have lost the way he fought and his strategy was all wrong. Props to Cotto for keeping it 100 and not making excuses for his loss. Takes a big man to admit that.

Just imagine the 24/7 for this fight....Or whatever is called on Showtime (360 camp?)

I really hope this fight is on HBO PPV if I can't attend it because Arum puts it in Las Vegas. Nothing against the Showtime guys, but the commentators for the Cotto/Mayorga fight were perhaps more annoying than HBO. Its like, act like you've covered a major fight before. The guy who interviewed the fighters was perhaps the was interviewer ever. The dude's bug eyes and his roll eyes when asking questions, ugh. Can we get Bob Pappas promoted to the main cast at HBO too? I guess its bad when I'm clamoring for a team of Bob Pappas and Joe Tessitore, side color remarks and interviews by Roy Jones. Also, if Roy Jones can do the scoring, that would be great

Cotto is a gentleman and gives no excuses. Many fighters out there can lear a thing or two from Cotto. Cotto wins the rematch on points (would love A K.O. even better)
