Cotto and his advisors say that a photograph recently obtained by The Times represents what his father, Miguel Cotto Sr., calls "overwhelming" evidence that his son's 2008 opponent Antonio Margarito used illegally hardened hand wraps to help him score a technical knockout over the previously unbeaten Cotto. ... "The only people who can tell you for sure if those [inserts] were in there is Margarito and his trainer, but you have the picture now, so people know," Cotto said.
i don't beleive a picture proves a thing.... however.... we can all safely assume those cheating mexican ****s would have used the same wrapping technique for all of their previous fights...plus the way margarito fights and hit his opponents suggest things were not "normal".... Nazim Richardson says something similar to this in his analysis of the situation..... When you're swinging and hitting elbows and stuff and not damaging your hand...and cutting guys ears off with punches....this suggests things are not normal
Never mind his hands they wanna be checking how his chin's wrapped, he ate about 150 power punches off Shane that would have decapitated most men and just smiled.
I wouldn't favor too many if any Welterweights throughout history to have weathered the power-shots Mosley was regularly landing on Margarito that night. The worst beating I've ever seen at elite level. I'm hoping for a Margarito victory tonight. In light of all the evidence and the misconduct of the commission, I'm not certain that Margarito was conscious of the inadequacies with the wrapping. Naive? Perhaps, but if the evidence was as conclusive as some here believe it to have been, you'd never see Antonio in a Boxing ring again but here he is. Goodluck to him.
When was the last time a fighter was in 3 world title fights in a row and took as much punishment as Margarito did?
Crazy when you think how Floyd reacted getting hit by 2 of them, Margo must have been hit by at least 100 and literally laughed them off, i've never ever seen anyone take punishment like that i've got a migraine just thinking about it.
2004-2007 Erik Morales vs Marco Antonio Barrera III Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao I Erik Morales vs Zahir Raheem Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao II Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao III Erik Morales vs David Diaz
what excalty was his hands wrapped with..? Why have'nt we seen, solid evidence..? Is it hard in this day and age, to show picture evidence..??
I think the inserts have been seen since the decision was made to suspend Margarito, and it wasn't cement, bricks, or a sledgehammer depicted in the photographs.
Out of those fights only the 3rd fight with Barrera and Diaz were "official" world title fights but that was a ****ing hellacious run.
