Did Margarito ruin Cotto's career through cheating?

Throw in a prison sentence

 

Want to hear some really unexpected boxing news? Tyson and Holy may fight for a 3rd time in Abu Dhabi this year atsch. Hopefully it's just rumours and nothing more.

Forgive me, I haven't seen the fight, and I'm not sure of a few things:

What is Margo accused of doing?

What is the evidence?

What is the effect of this supposed cheating?

 

I thought Cotto just got his strategy wrong. He clearly showed the ability to outbox Margo but was trying too hard to hurt him and allowed himself to tkae punishment he didn't need to. Cotto could have done something similar to Mosely as he also had speed and skill advantages over Margo but it just isn't his style to fight like that.

 

1. puttin dry plater paris and gauze in his gloves so sets when his hands sweat

2. naseem richardson was there when they were wrapping his hands and questioned it commision made him re-wrap

3. plaste sets when he sweats and is punching with a 'pot' on his fist

i noticed his hands were unwrapped in post fight interview and remember in cotto fight he left them wrapped, i know that sounds bull**** but sometimes you notice little things i think cotto had his hands fully unrapped and mago hadnt. surely if you take the gloves off the wraps just neeed to be cut too, 10 second job?

 

i personally think richardson deseves alot of credit i think he had the plan mosely pulled it off, like margo said he kept closing the gap when in close so he couldnt get his punches going, opposite to cotto who ran when in trouble this with a broken nose caused him to gas and get caught up by margo

 

cottto got beat off the better man,as did margo last night,i just think cottos not all he has been hyped up to be,
i think jennings will give him a good fight

 

No proof, stop slandering the guy.

 

If he is found guilty I can't see it being the case that he chose to use them for the first time against a faded 37 yr old fighter he was red hot favourite to beat. Of cause it's impossible to prove otherwise now unless the man who wrapped his hands eventually comes clean (if true).

I wonder if there are any other boxers out there who have been using this "trick", and we may see a sudden decline in performance? It's unlikely but who knows...

 

i dont beleive it

marg seems to be a decnt guy and pays his due why would he risk it by cheating. This was said about tito too and was utter BS.

the only thing that this would explain is why marg was a bit gun shy because he felt bad about hitting mosley with illegal wraps

 

It was found by officials before the fight. It's nothing like the Tito situation...

 

....

 

what was found and did marg go into the fight with it still on his wraps

 

No he didn't go into the SugarShane fight with them - some sort of Plaster of Paris gauze cast - two of them - they were sent off for inspection as far as I can gather.
