Antonio Margarito illegal hand wraps

[J-Smooth]

Margarito couldn't punch without the ingredients.

yeah he could member he hurt manny pacquiao...member that....oh and he also put cotto in retreat mode in the second fight...why was cotto running from a powerless fighter?

[MeanestNiceGuy]

I say, the TS should go **** himself. Agreed?

[BennyST]

I'm not saying he did or didn't but anyone comparing the first and second Cotto fights as evidence is a ****ing idiot. You only need to watch the first three rounds to see the difference in the fighters and the difference in the fights. They don't go the same way at all, at any point whatsoever.

Cotto gets hit and caught on the ropes a lot in the first fight and gets hurt by hard, flush punches within the fist two rounds of the first fight. Second fight, he hardly got hit cleanly once within the first five or six rounds and fought a much smarter, more disciplined fight. The first fight is very different than people remember. Cotto gets caught quite a lot early on, much more than people say, and has no defense for the uppercuts that Margarito throws. Second fight, he doesn't give Margarito as much room, uses side movement much better, gets off first much more, and his defense is better overall, plus he actually clinches Margaito when they get in close which he didn't do once in the first fight.

It's not the strength of the punches that changed that did the damage. Cotto was just getting caught easier, with much cleaner, flush shots with poorer defense by Cotto. Cotto didn't get caught once in the entire second fight as badly as he did in just the second round of the first fight. Totally different fight. I happen to believe that he didn't use them for earlier fights, but it is definitely possible. Someone surely would have noticed a block of plaster being used at some point. That's just too hard to hide for long.

Who cares? He got caught, Mosley blasted his ass, Pac detached his ****in retina and Cotto got his revenge, stared him down in the corner after his W and laid his career to rest.

Justice was served. Time to move on.

Spot on.

Cotto fought a smart fight second time round, he did an especially good job at taking away the space for those uppercuts.

Smashed his orbital bone. Don't think he detached his retina.

That was the lamest **** ever. I'd understand if he'd destroyed Margarito but he ran for most of the fight and got a doctor stoppage lol

Cotto is a boxer, and Margarito was a remnants of plaster using slugger. Cotto stopped Margarito in the rematch. Pacquiao ****ed Margaritos eye up so bad that it allowed Cotto to put the icing on the cake on the cheats career.

he got a doctor stoppage against a guy who was coming on strong and putting it on him. Easy to act tough after a doctor comes in to save you. Was he tough in the actual fight? no.
