I know you're a big fan and I agree the guys a warrior but all that was going to happen if that fight continued was margarito's eye being more facked up than it is now. He was acting macho at the time of the stoppage but he was getting beat. this is what I remember but I should watch it again. It's been a while. I'm still looking forward to seeing what happens tomorrow though.
I think what Pacquiao did provides a harder wrap. Don't know the specifics as to why stacking results in a harder handwrap, but as you said, Pacquiao did that, plus he rolled up pieces of duct tape and placed them between his knuckles so that he had high hard ridges at the knuckles. Those high ridges are what broke Margarito's orbital bone. Here's a fighter in Margarito who throughout the years has contantly been hit square by legitimate hard punching Welters and Junior middleweights, and all of a sudden a Pacquiao shot to the face results in his orbital bone getting shattered? After what we saw Pacquiao do with the HBO cameras on him, stacking and placing the tape between his knuckles, somebody is going to say Pacquiao's handwraps were legit and had nothing to do with Margarito's orbital bone getting shattered?????? :huh The thing about it is that Freddie Roach himself knows that Pacquiao's handwraps were illegal and dangerous, but his defense of it was that DLH was allowed to do it when he fought Pacquiao, so he was doing it.
they are talking about "stacking" tightly rolled up pieces of gauze between each knuckle very dangerous but pac is tiny so such advantages are ok and to be expected and accepted just like his ped use.
IF THEY STOPPED IT IN THE 5TH, "He was ready to take Cotto out again" IF THEY STOPPED IT IN THE 6TH, "He was ready to take Cotto out again" IF THEY STOPPED IT IN THE 7TH, "He was ready to take Cotto out again" IF THEY STOPPED IT...WELL YOU GET THE IDEA... MARGARITO NEVER WON A SINGLE ROUND AFTER THE PLASTER WAS TAKEN FROM HIM DESTROYED BY MOSLEY EVERY ROUND DESTROYED BY PACROID EVERY ROUND DESTROYED BY COTTO, EVERY ROUND. HE WAS A CHEATER. THERE ARE SO MANY MEXICAN GREATS, WHY DO PEOPLE FORGET JMM AND RALLY AROUND THIS BUM INSTEAD? I'LL NEVER KNOW.
