Do i think he used loaded wraps for that fight? Yes. There should not be a loss on Cottos record.
but there are facts...
Margarito did not have plaster on his chin. He ate Cottos best shots that allowed him to keep applying pressure through out the fight.
Wraps dont give you super powers that magically guide your arms to the target, the punches that Margarito landed, were landed by him. And he was ahead on 2 score cards because of that. He still landed a **** load of punches for points with the judges because of his work rate.
In the end, Cotto still succumbed to Margaritos pressure. He didnt quit because his face was swollen, he quit because he was exhausted from throwing upward punches at a 5 foot 11 guy through 11 rounds that wasnt reacting to the many punches he threw.
