Theory: Cotto is playing mind games about wraps on Tony:

Tony says he did not feel a difference in wraps when wrapped for Shane prior to getting caught. It's poss team Cotto is playing on this "what if I did have them on during Cotto fight" question that Margarito might have... therefore causing him to doubt his entire career.

Ever see a movie where the hero is informed at the end, he was not really a hero... it was all set up for him to win... and he goes crazy, feeling duped etc...

good

Cotto: "Tony... it's true, they lied to you... you had special victory wraps on...now you have no power..."

Margarito: "LOL...um... pssst whatever Miguel... I know you're just saying that!!"

Cotto: "No seriously bro, your entire career is a lie... you had special wraps to help you in all those fights after the first 5-6 journeymen outtings you had in the beginning... they gave you the victory wraps...your entire team set it all up...they lied to you Tony.."

 

Avi is nice, but post is legit. There is a chance, that Tony practiced the fine are of "denial" when it came to his wraps..


See no evil, speak no evil.
:rastaWraps are done Tony, how do they feel
:goodGreat Cappy!
:bbbLet me at him!

 

Marg's not having super power with wraps on just means he did not have much power to begin with. Also, the point about Marg taking ALL of Cotto's best shots is not entirely accurate if Marg was in fact wearing wraps which while not Duran-like in terms of power, was enough to break Cotto's nose and take his ability to breath away and cause him to drink his blood for 9 rounds. It's not as simple as "Marg's chin had no plaster in it" Variables that add up to the end result.

Dec 3rd is just days away and we will see at this stage in their careers who will win.

No Doubt, the plaster beatdown took something out of Cotto as did his fight with Pacquaio. BOTH men have been beaten up, one perhaps with wraps, the other by perhaps by EPO and both of them quite likely by Ariza shakes... Boxing is a dirty word in 2011.

 

If you watch Tony walking into ring VS Shane... his eyes were full of DOUBT. His body language too... would not look Shane in the eye during instructions...

Team Cotto probably saw this and said, let's mind **** the dude and get him all worked up about the wraps again.

Diaz seems like a smart dude...Probably told Cotto: GO out there and convince him that YOU are convinced 100% that he cheated.


Imagine being told you cheated repeatedly, when you KNOW you did not... that is one of the worst feelings when you KNOW you are right, and the nobody gets it but you?

Whether Margarito admits is or not, it has an affect.

Just a theory but I suppose that Cotto REALLY thinks Marg's actually cheated.

 

THIS !

I have been saying this all along too... It was those FREE shots whit his hands at his hips sliding off the ropes that REALLY began the end of his night. Last 20 sec of round 10 and :yikesBANG! Got caught hands down, looking slick... Hands UP ALL night Miguel. :bbb

 

If the wraps and added power were going to the body early... then certainly in the latter rounds, Cotto's power had been sapped. So we cannot simply say "marg took all Cotto's BEST shots...."

A lot of Cotto's punches were on the backfoot too quite possibly as a direct result of plaster wraps...

"That was a very sad night for me. Miguel wasn't crying tears. The tears coming out of Miguel's eyes that night weren't normal. They were tears of blood. You had to see it.
"Bleeding out of his nose, bleeding out of his ears. You had to see how deep his wounds were. It's impossible to explain. I couldn't explain how someone with gloves could do that," the late Miguel Cotto Sr., on Miguel Jr.'s condition after the loss to Margarito.

 

I hear you, I just keep thinking: Margarito was smiling at Shane early too and saying "I'm not even hurt" and later that evening...

He was smiling one second, and then falling the next...still smiling mind you

 

Not a prob bruh.
