Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: I Don't Care What Happens to Antonio Margarito

[KnickTillDeaTh]

How come nobody who shook Margaritos hand that night has come out and said his wraps were hardened? Thats how Resto was found out.

Hand wraps are tapped up pretty thick, so they feel hard to the touch. Anyone shaking his hand would have not known the difference unless a chunk fell off while shaking.

I watched that fight it was bad but I don't see how you can punch a man with titanium rods in your hand and not be like loaded gloves

Titanium holds a bone in place, and it's supposed to withstand impact, but it doesn't give you an advantage the way you see it. You've been watching too many Wolverine movies. Jaws, Hands, and Faces, are commonly repaired with titanium (see Kell Brook), but it doesn't give you added power. However, if I wrapped my hands in plaster, and punch you in your mutha****in' mouth, I would cause serious damage to your maxilla, and possibly your orbital bones too! That's why titanium plates/screws are not illegal, but plaster is!

After the fight when Margarito is celebrating, theres a picture taken that shows a chunk of hand wrap missing, a hole right in the middle of his knuckle. Hand wraps don't brake in chunks, the tear. The pictures also show that the wraps Margarito used the night, had the same exact markings as the illegal wraps Margarito got caught with. Margarito said he didn't know that the wraps in the Mosley fight were tainted, he said he couldn't feel it. When pressed on the Cotto fight by Max Kellerman, Margarito said he would have known if those wraps were illegal because he would have felt it. The dents and marks the Cotto sustained during the fight were not consistent with punches, they were more consistent with getting hit by something like a bat.

The reality is there was more than enough evidence to prove that illegal wraps were used in the Cotto fight, However it was never pursued. Why? you ask, well Bob Arum is why. Ask the right questions, why was Antonio Margarito's trainer exiled for life from working a professional corner? Yet it was never proven that he set up the wraps, nor did he admit to it. Why was the punishment so sever for the trainer, yet Margarito only got a 1 year suspension. Why did Arum testify on behalf of Margarito. Why does Margarito get a shot at an international title in his first fight back, then gets a huge high profile pay day against Pac. ARUM.

Its string, not a hole.

So how did Collins dad know that Restos wraps were hard? Oh yea, he shook his hand and realized the wraps were harder than normal.

Margarito could still be innocent

[JimmyD729]

did they ever caught marg with loaded wraps?? was it ever proven? or was it just speculations?

Yes, they did catch him. Prior to the Mosley fight. Margs just claimed that his trainer loaded his hand wraps and he had no idea.

Yea, him and OJ

Margarito took Cotto's cherry with a cement condom.
