    We all saw how cotto and margo went on to war in an epic thrilling fight, and we all know the results of that and how did it go.

    But with the recent upbringings on margo's career and this being the last fight before all that stuff about loaded gloves happen. Although its not proven that margo use plasters in this fight, its safe to assume that he did and its like simple math. If he used it against an aging past his prime fighter like mosley, what more with a young in his prime undefeated miguel cotto?

    Watching the fight, I saw cotto outboxing margo during the early rounds and hitting him with a lot of clean hard shots and combinations to the face, but despite that margo seemed confident like he had an ace in him, like he had something that would destroy cotto so he just keeps going at it.

    Knowing that cotto had a shaky chin, margo capitalize on that advantage till he wear down cotto, cotto was blocking most of his shots but they still seem to hurt him and wear cotto down as the fight goes on.

    As like i said in my above statements, assume if margo didn't wear any plasters could he still have produced the same result?

    I think cotto would have won a UD

    You dont know that Margo had the plaster wraps in the Cotto fight.

    But if he did, I would assume that Cotto would win pretty comfortably.

    Of course he seemed "confident", he knew what he had. Now look at the Mosley fight and tell me if seemed "confident" that he would catch up to Mosley sooner or later? **** NO!

    I hope they do have a re-match so we can put all this to rest once and for all.....:good

    yeah i'm saying if he did and its likely just like i stated above(very likely as cotto was the biggest fight of his career)

    Wearing plasters is like lying to fans about his power, I don't think he would have brutally hurt cotto if not for those plaster and it would have went into a decision considering cotto got stop at the 11th round thus my take for a cotto UD

    Same ****ing result.

    Plaster wraps bull****. Cotto didnt say a goddamn thing about Margaritos punches, other than the fact that he kept getting caught by them.

    Do we know what these wraps were made of? How hard they are? Are they just thick tape?

    Theres too many "ifs" here to say that Cotto could have changed such an emphatic defeat.

    we don't know what the wraps are made of yet, but they are hard as said by 2 witnesses quoted on another thread.

    And cotto was winning the early rounds, "if" there was no plasters it would have been a different result(assuming again he had). The ratio of clean punches of cotto:margo is like 5:1 plus most of margos shots werent clean but still wear cotto down

    Stiff tape is "hard", that doesn't make it plaster as you are claiming. Everything else is guess work, the 5:1 ratio is a guess as is how the punches were affecting Cotto or how they would have affected without the wraps. Margo wore Cotto down by taking his punches and asserting himself physically and I think he'd probably do the same with or without hard tape (or whatever it was) in his gloves. (Plaster or similar excepted). Cotto has just never liked having to fight at a hard, sustained pace.


    This whole incident is big on speculation and low on facts. We don't know what was in the gloves or how they would have affected Cotto or even if those type of wraps were worn for the Cotto fight at all!!!!

    And yet, despite knowing none of these things, some people seem confident that Cotto would have won the fight.... :patsch

    cotto is a class act just in case u haven't noticed he ain't cryin over spilled milk but it is obvious marga knew something ,he didn't against mosley he looked like they took something away from him justice will be served when cotto will put that joker away no doubt about it the outcome would of been the same like the williams fight cotto would survived it and marga's career would be over it is anyway so it's all good!!!!!
