I'm convinced that Margarito had loaded wraps in both fights with Cintron. Cintron took massive beatings, physically and mentally in those fights. Does anyone look at Cintron differently now, and think that the 2nd beating from Margo not only put another loss on his record but may have caused permanent damage to his confidence and self-belief. I think Cintron should be the most upset about all of this, that kid was on fire until he ran into Margo. :deal
I think Margo was loaded only for the Mosley fight. He cleary knew that he lacked the speed and the skills to compete with mosley so he decided to get cheat as a one time thing... Think about it, when was the last time Margo fought an speedy elite fighter like mosley? He was desperate for an advantage and he took a chance.. I don't think any pro fighter is that dumb where he would be loading his gloves everytime he fights. Anyone knows that's too much of a risk.. So all this talk of his being loaded against Cotto, cintron, or any of others fights is rubbish to me.
The Margo losses took something out of Cintron no doubt about it. Coming into that fight he was the next big thing. I don't think he ever got over those losses it showed in the ring after the first one when he cried and I do think Margo loaded his gloves for both fights.
im not so sure, no one saw sugar shane as an elite fighter anymore after the mayorga fight. the cotto fight was the biggest of his career, miguel wasnt just undefeated he was looked at as unbeatable. i really dont see why he would use them against shane and not against miguel
He makes a good point but I don't think it was the first time. Look at Lujan's ear, look at Clottey's hands, look at the way Cintron was beaten and cried after wards, look at the way Cotto's face was busted up. IMO just too many coincidences to overlook.
I disagree actually. I think if anything he would've loaded them for Cotto, and been more confident going into the mosley fight actually.
Watch the second fight again. Margo OUTBOXES Cintron. Cintron is too stationary and one dimensional and Margo timed him beautifully. I'm not saying that Margo is some great tactician, but he was better than Cintron.
Complete Denial.... do you really believe that he would just all of the sudden start loading his gloves against a guy who already lost to Cotto, and who looked bad against Mayorga? He was a 4 to 1 Favorite .... I know there is no proof, but only a fool would actually believe that Margarito never had loaded gloves in the past. He knew the Cotto fight was his biggest fight and his one chance he had been waiting for. Nothing was going to keep him from winning the championship.
People get busted up all the time. The Cotto fight happened in Vegas, the Clottey and Cintron fights happened in A.C. Those entirely different commissions than California. I'm betting Margo and his people are a lot more friendly with the inspectors in California than they are with the inspectors in Jersey or Vegas.
Shane has a much better chin than Cotto. Perhaps Margo's team felt they needed the extra power to wear down shane and felt that Cotto was small enough and fragile enough to wear down without any help.
The reason why I don't think he was loaded in the cotto fight is because what u see is what u get with Cotto's style, pretty much... Cotto isnt one dimensional but he isn't that hard to figure out, really, and MArgarito knew that he could beat him at his own game... But Mosley brought something different to the table. He's not the type to shy away from an exchange but at the same time he does have that slickness when he wants to use it which is something that margarito hasn't dealt with.. combined with mosley's speed, power, and boxing ability, Margarito knew that he was at a major disadvantage in one of the biggest fights of his life..
