Boxing: Do you believe Margarito cheated in Margarito/ Cotto 1 (survey the forum)?

Favorite Answer

I'm convinced he cheated in the Cotto fight. For a guy to say he didn't know he was loaded after he got caught before the Mosley fight is just stupid, and 100% bullshit. Anyone who believed Margarito when he said that is just gullible, or ignorant to the fact that every fighter knows exactly whats underneath his gloves, seeing as he's watching when his hands are wrapped. I think he'd been doing it a while before he got caught with it, and that he'd still be doing it had he not been caught red handed. It's a shame he's still able to compete professionally in the sport. I never did think he was a very skilled boxer, but I liked how he could take a punch and keep coming so I respected him for that. After his dirty little secret came to light, I have no more respect for him as a person, much less a boxer.

People can sit and say innocent until proven guilty, this and that. I know a bullshitter when I see one. I'm good about reading people, and the way Margarito acted when questioned about it on face off told me all I needed to know. So that's what I believe, regardless of if we have proof or not....Show more

Yeah he did. Cotto might have had a ideal list up till his combat in opposition to Pacquiao and his 1st misplaced you might now not assume him to get overwhelmed that badly in opposition to Margarito of everyone, who was once up and down together with his efficiency round that point. Cotto face appeared very similar to Billy Collins Jr face whilst he confronted Resto (whilst Resto had cheated). Margarito obtained off lovely convenient From an editorial -- "In November 2009, it emerged that pink stains at the hand wraps Margarito used within the Cotto combat have been very similar to the stains at the inserts seized earlier than the Mosley combat. This has raised suspicions that Margarito's gloves have been loaded for that combat, and probably others as good."...Show more

Yes. I was amazed to see Cotto getting busted up like that and just midway through the fight when he had been through similar wars against tough foes including Shane Mosley who hit even harder than Margarito and never suffered damage as intensive, Though Margarito threw his punches in bunches, Cotto managed to slip, block and catch some of them and it's surprising that some that did connect would have cause such gruesome damage. There are also no precedents of Margarito doing the same thing against his earlier formidable foes such as Paul Williams and Kermit Cintron....Show more

I THINK he did use loaded gloves. If you look carefully at how Margarito throws his punches you will notice that he doesn't put his body into the punch he only uses his arms which technically speaking there's not power in his punches, or at least not enough power to make Cotto's face look the way it did in a short time into the fight. Cotto's nose was bleeding in the second round even though Margarito wasn't landing many punches....Show more

Yes he did it , i sometimes wonder if Margarito didn't no and that his trainer was putting the plaster powder in his gauze wraps , so when Margarito's hands sweat that's when the gauze became solid .
The picture Cotto was showing the world clearly showed that the gauze on Margarito's glove was broken off and cracked ....Show more
