Margarito WAS ROBBED NO WAY COTTO WON THAT FIGHT!!!! I'm joking, Cotto looked good in this fight but his face was wrecked. I must say, Margarito has a solid chin. I think we know now if his gloves were loaded or not. This was a good fight. Apparently, Mayweather claims there are no negotiations going on.
You gotta be fuking ******ed to not know the difference was the plaster wraps. Or in denial. Cotto's face wasn't cut or busted up NEARLY as bad. Marg has completely sucked ever since the Mosley fight and he got busted. Takes a real rocket scientist to figure this **** out.
Prior to this I had no problems with Marg but like the post above says you gotta be in f*cking denial not to see whats going on here.
One of the biggest bull**** fights I've seen in 25 years of watching the sport. Only Cotto fans/bandwagon-ers and people who think Margs loaded his wraps happy tonight (probably one and the same). Margs was never gonna win this fight from the get go. Basically fought Cotto and NY Athletic Commission tonight. This BS started weeks ago with NYAC ****ing with Margs, making him break camp in Mexico and fly to NY for BS eye exam that they should have taken care of when the damn fight was first sanctioned. Then tonight before the fight, non-stop BS over the wrapping, instigated by NYAC not allowing Naziim to witness the wrapping, even though Margs team had no problem with it. Then having, what, 3 doctors at ringside (never heard of that), harassing Margs and his team, getting in the way, threatening to stop the fight round after ****ing round, until finally they just did! Nevermind Margs just finished his best round, he and his corner vigorously and emphatically begging the fight not be stopped. Smoger sure the **** didn't think Margs was done and he wasn't even sure the fight had been stopped by the commission on the advice of the docs! I ordered this fight to watch rounds 10, 11, and 12. No, tonight the difference was a bunch of mf's who made sure Margs wasn't gonna walk outta NY with anything but a loss.
It was Margarito's wraps that made his career. Of course it made a difference. But also the fact that both fighters lost a step since 08.
This fight looked very similar to the first... I admit I was getting a bit nervous as the fight wore on... Cotto did fight a little smarter, but especially after this fight... it's hard to not believe that Margo didn't have plaster in the first fight.... Cotto's face didn't look anywhere as bad as it did the first fight
Cotto at this point in the fight, was badly swollen. Not in this fight. The way the fight turned out. Looks like Margocheato... well you get it.
What happen with the weight being an advantage for Margarito I thought his shots would have been stronger I guess not
