Cintron, Collins Sr. Speak on The Margarito Controversy

[Mr. Philadel]

I mean if Collins Sr. said that Cotto looked similar to how his son looked then you have to take heed to wisdom & experience. Dude is 71 years old & witnessed it first hand. That guy Lewis said he soaked his hands in the plaster, Margarito just had blocks in his wraps so the severity might be lesser, plus Lewis Trainer took some padding out of the gloves on top of having the wraps soaked in Plaster of Paris. I'm not a Cotto fan but he was pretty busted up & Cotto is a durable fighter & Margarito is not that skilled & the few times he caught Cotto he hurt him pretty bad.

I've seen Cotto hurt, wobbled, shaky, dazed but he always came back to fight & I give him credit for that. Cotto took some pretty heavy power shots from Shane Mosley & stood his ground in there match & wasn't busted up like that even with Judah he got busted up but came back. With Margarito he didn't want No more? It ain't my job to pass judgment but I think he got caught red handed cheating & did it before. He was nothing special in the ring so had to make up for something. All of this is just my honest opinion but I feel Antonio Margarito is guilty. If ****m Richardson felt his wraps & was concerned & then the block fell out & had dried blood on it? Come on! He should get disciplined because he could have permanently hurt Cotto & attempted to hurt Shane Mosley severely.

thats Real Talk .....co-sign 100%

Man, Kermit Cintron really showed some class in his comment.

Cotto took some very heavy shots to the face against Ricardo Torres, and didnt even have a mark on his face. Yet in the Margarito fight, he was busted up with every single punch he got hit with. Now i know Marg is a heavy handed pressure fighter, but his punches are long looping punches that dont have much leverage on them. I dont think they should've done the type of damage that they did to Cotto. I could understand some swelling, etc.. But Cotto's face was busted up as if he was getting hit with something much more than padded gloves. Cotto wasnt outboxed in that match. He was hurt. Severely hurt!

[Tuavale]

Of course the Nevada commission is going to say that no wrong doing occurred because that would be on his watch and make them look bad. Everyone can speculate on the past but the only thing that can be looked into is the current situation.

[Arka]

Aside from all the bleeding, Cotto wasn't really that badly beaten up, atleast compared to Billy Collins Jr. Not much swelling, broken bones or anything like that, just a big cut and a bloody nose.





After a couple of days Cotto was back to normal while Collins suffered permanent damage to his face and eyes.

Cotto was not beaten as bad as his son. He really jumped it when he said that

How would you know?

If any one knows what they are talking is this man. He experienced his own son getting battered by loaded gloves right in front of his eyes and you're going to tell him he jumped the gun. If you watched the fight this man is right gloves just don't cut like that. Just watch later on in the fight when Margarito opened the cut over Miguel's eye.

Cintron Comment on Margarito hand wraps

Its sad that a fighter would allow something in there gloves if found to be true they should band margarito for a few years or maybe indefinite but i totally agree with Sweet Pea cintron a guy who got stopped by this guy didn't even try to down play his loss with margarito because of new controversy now that's a trew class act I'll follow his career more now just because I know cintron Is real.
