Margarito vs Cotto was Payback for Vargas vs Trinidad. If Trinidad didn't have the wraps, Vargas probably would have won.

No announcement yet.
Did Felix Trinidad have plaster hand wraps when he fought Fernando Vargas in 2000?

tito had to re-wrap because of the way it was wrapped.
no foreign object.
just the way it was done.
other commissions allowed it.
frankly NY let it go until nazim whined about it.

Prior to the Trinidad fight, Vargas had never fought an A-list fighter. He was exposed by Trinidad and was later knocked out by two other A-class fighters in De La Hoya and Mosley. Those three were the only A-Class fighters that Vargas ever fought. He could take a punch just fine...as long as it was coming from a b-class fighter.
I was a Trinidad fan at the time. I saw the Vargas/Trinidad fight. The only thing Vargas complained about after the fight and up until now were the low blows. He blamed his loss on the low blows...until now. He never complained about the punches being too hard...until now.
In fact, he claimed the first two knockdowns in the first round were simply lucky shots by Trinidad....until now. I guess it took him 15 years to recover from those shots and come to the conclusion that Trinidad's team somehow managed to put plaster in Trinidad's gloves right in front of Vargas' trainer.
To sum this whole thing up, "you don't know s...t about boxing."
