    Doubtful, Vegas makes you use their own gauze.

    Naive to think that they weren't loaded.

    "Margarito, a notorious slow starter", yea no ****.

    He started slow and ended slow against Mosley and should have against Cotto as well.

    Just a thought, once they took away Popeye's spinach ( in the Mosley fight), his mental game went with it.
    So, yes.

    This thread is a classic example of how ****ing stupid the average poster on ESB really is! The Nevada State Athletic Commision supplied the wraps for the Cotto fight. If you ****ing morons ever bothered to do any research, you would know that. Instead if doing research you choose to remain willfully ignorant. Willfully ignorant is equal to "stupid on purpose."

    I did my research, and I agree with:

    Kevin Iole, Andrew Eisele, Ron Borges and many more writers who's opinions I've read.

    Plus the fact during the live HBO broadcast Margarito was continually asked if he used them against Cotto, now why would they do that?:think

    If this episode has taught us anything it's that commision officials (I don't care what commision) are not infalible and can be incompetent. Why should Nevada be any different?

    Yea because it's impossible for Margo's trainer to add some tainted pads in with the wraps provided by NSAC.

    You're theory isn't even heavily validated either.

    Not to mention, it should be obvious that people can, have, will and do find ways to break rules when they want to.

    no one knows except margo and the one who put the wraps. cotto fought the first half of the fight perfectly, he landed good shots on margo. it just happened that margo took that punches very well.

    you're asking a bunch of people who have no idea "once and for all" if they have an answer for you?

    ok, yes.

    Pffft... Were his gloves loaded? Were they not? Whatever. While we're being a couple of sticklers, I'd like to point out that it should be "WERE Margarito's gloves loaded in the Cotto fight?" WERE. Not "Was." Jeez...
