Cotto was never the same after this fight. Having to cheat against a smaller man tells what kind of bitch Margarito was.
There was never such a thing. Commissioners checks every second of the bandages. They see when they open and sign the bandage before putting the gloves. Cotto has always been salty when he loses.
@@alanec510 he cheated dude everyone knows it
@@alanec510 bro everybody know he cheated
@@mikemineros1251 yes
No cheating,stop whining fanboys
In the 2nd round Cotto's nose was broken, forcing him to breathe through his mouth making it hard to fight and still he was winning a bunch of rounds. What a legend.
This fight took some of cottos prime. I remember him coming back against Michael Jennings and he looked like shit. His war with clottey too that could have been a draw. Despite that cotto went on to take on the best always. That's why he is missed and loved man. Had he won this fight he would have been pound for pound. Floyd left for awhile.
I wouldn't be surprised if he had also some rib broken after that round. First body shots by Margarito were vicious
@@brianticas76713
COTTO could have died that night. Margarito "Loaded hand wraps" FLORES should have been banned for life!
In hindsight, it's tough to re-watch this fight!
The most disgraceful fight I ever watched. When it was later discovered Margarito was using loaded gloves I was so mad. This fight affected Cotto’s entire career. He was redeemed in the rematch, but was he totally recovered from the emotional damage this cheater put him through? I don’t think he ever was. I had, and still have, the utmost respect for Cotto to this day. He is one hell of a man.
Im
Agree 100%. When I need a lift I watch the rematch and smile. Also, watch Mosley destroy Margarito after Nazzm caught him with loaded wraps.
The emotional pain he got through with it. The scar tissue form after the illegal plaster used never. Those injuries opened fast again in every fight he got.
@@jesseromero2069 Yeah, his eye would open up after a few hard rounds. Cotto was a gentleman in and out of the ring which makes what Margarito did even more disgusting.
it was 100% discovered not on this match up. we don't know if was used here. speculation at its best.
There is something different about this boxing era compared to today. The level of rivalry and intensity is astounding.
Everything has become fake in todays times. It’s painful to watch but I’m glad I lived in a good time.
Look at the crowd, people that used to show up to fights and compare them to today.
@@Sambigs9112 excelente bro
@@Sambigs9112 but margarito cheated his entire career and every fight
these type of fights are very soon gonna make a comeback i totally believe that
Yes sir with davis v garcia, crawford vs spence and canelo v charlo boxing is at its best today
Seeing Cotto in that first round makes this so much tougher to watch. He was just coming into his prime, this dude was about to blossom into a special fighter, and this criminal, Margarito took his prime years away from him in one brutal beating from a Man with plaster in his gloves!
A coward is antonio.. A freakin coward.. Cheated because he knew he couldn't win
his dirty ass should've went to prison
MARGARITO BELONGS BEHIND BARS
👹😡
@Troie EXCUSE ME ????
🤬🤬🤬✌️
@Troie Don’t defend a cheater man.
Congratulations to Miguel Cotto for being inducted into the Hall of Fame well-deserved champ🥊
I'm glad he was inducted after a second attempt. He did not make it the first attempt. But he deserves it. He fought everyone.
44:28 the look of guilt on margarito’s face
42:31 made me sad. looking at a beaten lion who just fought a war against a piece of shit cheater who literally did permanent damaged and took years away from Cotto’s career. This fight makes me look at Cotto heart and how much courage his has.
What Iion Get On a Knee For another Man? cotto Wasnt Nothing But a Sore Loser😂
@@Chris-np3li Shut up
@@Chris-np3li soo what about the second fight? What about the photos of him with wraps that had tears looking like it was cement or plaster inside? What about the fight before Mosley when he got caught with loaded wraps and got knocked out? What does all of this make Margarito?
@@elmogonewild5239 what About The Second Fight? It was Stopped Because Of an Eye Injury. Its a Picture and Theres Other Pictures Where there Nothing On the Wrap and Cottos uncle Said There was nothing there. The Mosley Fight was the Mosley Fight But what About Cotto Saying He Felt the same Power? What About Nazim Richardon saying a Block fell Out then Mosley Coming out and saying It was powder that Fell Out? What About the Fact that That Mosleys Team Took the Wraps Instead Of doing What Right and Handing Them to the Commision? What About that? Im Not defending the Man But something Doesnt seem To Add Up On Mosleys Teams Side of the Story.
@@Chris-np3li in this fight, cotto outboxed him for 6 rounds and out of nowhere started getting hit and the hits started doing A LOT OF damage, even in round two when he started bleeding those shots weren’t even landing all that clean yet still had some good power behind them, didn’t seem right, second fight you can see those punches were not the same, didn’t affect cotto the same, and there are photos of the wraps without any tears where? We’re talking about the tears that were on his hand while he was in the ring, what are you gonna show, wraps after they left the ring and everything was said and done? Obviously they’ll deny they’re cheating in the fights they never got caught for, but you pay attention it’s obvious, never in the history of boxing has another fighter been seen in the ring with wraps that look like cement inside of them, and it wasn’t cement or plaster
Antonio margarito should not only lost his boxing license, he should have been arrested for assault and battery. When you are a fighter who cheats you are endangering the life of your opponent. And if you are caught cheating you should never be able to fight in a ring ever again
nah man reward him with a big PPV fight and invent a new WBC 152 pound title for Margarito or Manny Pacquiao can lie and say they were 154 pound champs when we all know Cotto was. And Manny made Cotto go back down to 147. Cotto is the true champ!!
@matthew2779 I agree he should have been arrested. He claims he didn't know but like Manny said..." it's common sense". There is no way ever that he should have been allowed to box again. Thank God Naazim Richardson saw that block of plaster that this cheater was going to use against Mosley. You could tell Margarito knew he was caught just by his body language when he walked into the ring for his ass whipping. The best fight ever was Cotto's revenge.
There’s no proof he cheated in this fight
For sure Margaritos team cheated using those handwraps. IMO if there is %100 evidence that either the fighter or the trainer tampers with gloves, loads hand wraps ,ETC : They should get an attempted murder charge. Boxing is dangerous enough even playing by the rules
@@richmcintyre1178 Spot on brother. Im not sure if youve ever boxed(Amateur,Pro or Enthusiast) but i can tell what is going on with my hand wraps. In all kinds of gloves whether theyre beginner boxing gloves, mexican cleto reyes 14oz, 16oz winnings, i can tell whether im wearing a gel pad,toilet paper pad or even a sponge knuckle pad.
This is disgraceful… Knowing what we know now, this POS should’ve been arrested for assault. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.
I know right? I can’t believe he got to continue boxing after this and didn’t face any charges
@@user-nu6vq1su4k WTF REALLY?
More than assault,its more like attempted murder. Disgraceful

thank you very much top rank for making this war free
Has it been proven that Margarito was cheating? With a member of your team watching him get wrapped and gloved don't you think someone would have noticed something illegal happening... Or maybe he was cheating, does anyone know if there's any real evidence?? where can I find it?
It was never proven
Look at his left hand wrap after the fight. It’s common sense
Margarita CEMENTED his legacy here
You meant with PLASTER OF PARIS! MARGARITO FLORES should have been banned for life and sent to jail for attempted murder.
So nasty, just like Resto vs Collins. Nobody knew what they were watching, and Collins was ruined so bad he ended his own life. Extremely tragic circumstances that Cotto was quite fortunate to avoid. Billy Collins never got a rematch against Luis Resto, but Cotto's subsequent trashing of Margarito in their return bout felt like redemption for both of them.
MARGARITO FLORES should have been banned for life and sent to jail for attempted murder.
@@raulcitraroLuis resto was worst he removed padding and put plaster of clay in his gloves basically punching Billy Collin’s with bricks for 12 rounds and Billy Collin’s never was knocked down. If you look at pictures of Billy Collin’s after the fight his face was much worse than Cotto’s. Both of these events were devastating though.

COTTO SUFFERED A BROKEN NOSE IN THE SECOND ROUND.
Cotto is a legend for this, true warrior!
Cotto did great for 5 rounds because he kept moving. In the 6th he was getting caught on the ropes,it was to difficult to keep moving like he was. He expected that he couild fight for a couple of rounds and be okay, little did he know that Margarito had concrete in his gloves. In the 7th round you could just feel what poor Cotto was up against. He went from being okay to being in bad shape that quickly because of what he was being hit with. What a shame, such a nice guy and great fighter.
For real cotto after this even got locked up for beating up his trainer which was his uncle I believe
@@JuanRodriguez-wg4vh proof

3:44, first time I ever saw a boxer take their own shirt off. Cotto is a legend, and was ready to fight on this night lol, didn't even wait on his cornerman.
Min: 43:51 you can clearly see the damage on the hand wraps due to the plaster
It's a bloody knuckle lol
He didn’t cheat lmao
IF COTTO COULD HAVE HANG IN THERE UNTIL THE END OF THE 12TH HE WOULD HAVE WON BY DECISION.
This is not the original commentary from 2008.
I remember being a young pr in USA prideful that night watching and it did feel ruff when cotto took the knee after the beating, finding out margarito had the plaster makes it sickening. He took the pride that cotto had so perfectly at the time
@@bull419Finally some one says it it was never really proven Margarito cheated I feel like Cotto just couldn’t handle defeat like a man

MARGARITO IS LUCKY COTTO DIDN'T PUT A HIT 🎯🇵🇷 ON HIM AFTER THAT FIGHT.
Cotto landed so many clean shots. I don't think anyone questioned his precision. Maybe if Cotto loaded his gloves, it would have been a fair fight.
If cotto loaded his gloves Margarito would be dead 😂😂
@@allencaro860 Fair point lol.
Not a fair fight, it would be a massacre for Margarito
If only cotto knew how to clinch he coulda won this fight
such a good fight, too bad its spoiled because of margarito!
Margaritto would have beat him without loaded gloves on this night. That's the hard truth.
I remember thinking Margarito wasnt wven throwing bombs, how was he doing ao much damage? It all makes sense now.
This loaded gloves thing was built up by media. There was never evidence on that, Cotto doesn’t know how to lose, he is always making excuses. He even said he won against Canelo and they robbed him. If Margarito ever had loaded gloves he wouldn’t fought again
Nah. He was loaded against Cotto. After Mosely's team caught him, without the loaded gloves, he got his ass beat. lol
@@barrbarr31u he wasn’t loaded. They never showed the evidence and the commissioners never got the bandages. Mosley team got them and that’s illegal. If Margarito really had been loaded he would never fought again.
@@alanec510 the only reason he did not recieve a lifetime ban is because it wasnt caught and proven at the cotto fight. Had it been found after he would be banned and probably locked up.
@@barrbarr31u cause there was never such loaded gloves. Mosley team took the bandages and keep them, that’s illegal cause commissioners are the ones that have that duty. If there was such an evidence he would never fought again. Cotto is good but he is salty when he loses. He even said Canelo robbed him and sht.

Such a good hard fight !! And good win !!
Honestly this was one of the best fights I had ever seen up until Margarito's next fight against Mosley when we found out he was cheating. I still remember celebrating Margarito's win with my dad, we were so hyped we couldn't believed the great Cotto had been defeated by what looked to us like pure heart and determination. Months later we were so disappointed.

Margarito's first time at MGM Grand.
Padding didn't prevent Margarito from absorbing all of those hard punches from Cotto and shrugging them off as if they were rain drops! No Matter what Margarito could take some punishment without flinching smh!
Esta Peléa la disfrutamos en el balcón de Labrador Volky, alla en el Maratón Cervecero de Naguabó.
Cual Fecha?
Just one question, if Margarito was loading his gloves his entire career how did the commissions and the other opponents corner "who's allowed to be there during the wrapping" never catch him?
Because it was a set up, the comission was there when Capetillo was wrapping Margarito and Nazeem ( mosleys trainer) also, Nazeem made Capetillo rewrapp Margarito 5 times until Nazeem said there was something (yes, 5 brand new wrapps)and took the wrapping somewhere while the comission did nothing instead of instantly bag the wrapping.
Just look at this fight, When Margarito starts getting to Cotto its over. And Cotto said that antonio had the plaster here.
The second fight is EXACTLY the same,Cotto winning on points until Margarito gets him in the later rounds. he was going to knock Cotto again until they stopped the fight.
no plaster and same result ( ignoring the bs stopagge)
@@carlosgaleotegandara7812 Dont argue with those idiots. Margarito never loaded his gloves.
@@carlosgaleotegandara7812 Exactly! Finally someone with good reasoning, just look at Cotto's face in the 10 round of second fight, all bruised and he struggles breathing.
@@carlosgaleotegandara7812 You're so full of shit. This fight is far different from the 2nd one. Cotto is obviously taking a beating and reacting to every shot in this bout whereas he puts an absolute beating on Margarito in the 2nd fight. Margarito was a straight up bum without his plaster.
@@ivanoliver9532 Cotto's face in the 2nd fight looks nothing like his face in the first. Also why did Margarito fall off so hard then? The moment he got caught he gets destroyed by an old Mosley/Pacquiao & Cotto then wrecks him. Margarito was a club fighter with a good chin. That's all he was until PoP.
Antonio Margarito, es un fajon, buena quijada, aguanta golpes, no se cansa fuerte de piernas pero no puedo pensar que es un pegador. Con 50 peleas 41 ganadas 8 perdidas 1 no contest y solo 27 knock outs, deja muchas dudas que fortalecen la teoria del vendaje ilegal. Cuando alguien tiene este tipo de vendaje VA haciendo da~o poco a poco, lastimando round por round. No es que da un golpe fulminante. Es muy probable que de esos 27 knock outs quizas la mitad no fueran legales.
Margarito never KO'ed an opponent after they started to watch his wrapping closely. No plaster, no power.
They always watch wraps closely lol
Knowing something wasn't right with this fight when i first watched it, makes it a lil hard to watch now. This fight had an affect on Cotto's career.
Nah you didn’t lol
@@THISISLolesh Lol good humor

No You didn't know that nothing was ever proven for this fight as a matter of fact margarito nvr USED key word USED margarito NEVER USED loaded gloves in a fight he was caught TRYING to use loaded gloves BEFORE BEFORE the fight vs Mosley he was caught trying to cheat was nvr caught actually cheating and he was only caught once of doin that
Those gloves were definitely loaded for this fight and I'd wager for his fight against Paul Williams as well.
Loaded gloves or no, Cotto would have won this fight had he attacked the body more. He was tee'ing off on Tony.
I'm not 100% sure regarding the plaster situation. I don't want to touch on that subject as of this moment. But Margarito kept Cotto at the end of all his punches, and he looked massive in the ring during this fight. Cotto also got hit more than he should've been hit, and for whatever reason Margarito just seemed to have a mental edge over Cotto in this fight, and didn't respect Cotto's power.
It's really hard to beat a bigger man if you let the bigger man get full extension on his punches. Plus, when that bigger man doesn't respect your power, and has world class punch resistance, and stamina-things can get quite complicated in there. The plaster situation robbed us from what could've been a legendary series of fights, because these two fighters have styles that create entertaining fights.
I agree with All you said. Well said
Once you heard about it and watch from the 2nd round..you can tell Margarito definitely had loaded hand wraps…Cotto was backing up already from just regular places punches
This is a stupid comment, the confidence that comes with loaded gloves will give you is also an immeasurable advantage. You would know keep your gaurd tight and push forward, you dont have to land anything clean or even in registered stricking zones. Just touch him on the shoulder, anywhere on the arms, hip etc etc knowing you're going to hurt him. Even if you get hurt you're confidence is to be "thats fine, just push forward he'll wear down". Its almost like you're saying being on epo's wont give you a mental advantage, as well as ever time cotto got touched it hurt and caused damage.
Cotto got beat fair and square it was never proven that Margarito cheated on this fight Cotto just felt that power and couldn’t handle the pressure coming from Margarito
@@mundoo8779its proven what a shame
This was a fight that made me a fan of Margarito… the next fight was also the fight that made me hate Margarito also
Miguel Cotto is fighting for the world Boxing champion's and fighting for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and that's why we love Miguel cotto
Good Evening Santos....
Mr. Alex's company.... Again.... Thanks NYPD
Had to come back and watch this fight because I had a couple random thoughts about it. It's an odd way to think about things but I think Margarito was especially deadly with loaded gloves compared to other fighters. Great stamina and a legendary chin and never stopped throwing, how could you even stop him from getting hits on you? Also, regardless of the gloves I think Mosley was always a worse matchup for Marg than Cotto style-wise. Mosley's hard right hand was way better at keeping Marg off balance and at the right range than Cotto's left hook. Mosley was also really strong and one of the toughest guys in any weight class both mentally and physically.
Nice clean fight! Excellent knock out!
Ohhhh my , thanks for this upload
Boxing is a masterful expression of the mastery in humanity
the fight that stole cottos soul. after everybody ducked marg, even mayweather retired....only cotto was honorable enough to give him a shot.

Best fight that I can remember. By far
I think this Version of Miguel would have beaten May jr.
mayweather was supposed to fight cotto....there was interview that MONEY mayweather did in which commentators were asking/pressuring him to fight cotto...it was the fight everyone wanted to see....money may said "i wont let boxing retire me i will retire from the sport of boxing" while he was YOUNG AND IN HIS PRIME HE RETIRED....cotto then went on to face a margarito...lost...
mayweather came out of retirement .... am i the only one that can do math here?

As a PR, I was a fan of Margarito. I was at this fight and remember thinking these are two warriors fighting. I thought Cotto would win by decision because eventually I thought Antonio would get frustrated and just start chasing Cotto around. I, at the time, did not think Margarito was a hard puncher, I just thought Cintron was soft and with the exception of Williams, Margarito’s competition was soft as well. Loaded gloves, or the perception of, never came to mind until the Mosley fight. It’s unfortunate that we may never know the truth.

This like watching Astros 2017 highlights
If this was a fare fight I would have some respect for Marqarito, but as it turned out he was using tampered gloves loaded with a substance called "Plaster Of Paris". Margarito was banned for a year, but he should've faced criminal charges bc he could've killed Cotto.
Thank God for boxing trainer Naazim Richardson (R.I.P) for catching this cheater (Marqarito) in the Shane Mosley fight.
I'm just glad Cotto was able to get his revenge on Marqarito in their 2nd fight & Marqarito NEVER boxed again after that fight. 👏🏾 👏🏾
1. It was a fare fight no evidence of plaster in this fight. He got caught in the Mosley so you just assuming he did in this fight too.Also in the 2nd when cotto was asked how hard did margarito hit comparison to the first fight he said it was the same and cottos face looked the same by end of the 2nd fight too
2. uhh margarito was coming out of an eye surgery that’s why his eye got inflamed like it did for the fight for cotto but that was margaritos mistake.
3. He actually kept boxing after that he had a couple of more fights.
@@Linxz_FL there is evidence of plaster in this fight, there’s cotto outboxing margarito for 6 rounds and then out of nowhere getting hit with punches that are doing a lot of damage, there’s photos of margaritos wraps after this fight with tears that look like cement or plaster, and there is a second fight where margarito didn’t do NEARLY as much damage as he was doing in this fight AFTERR he was caught cheating against Mosley, make it make sense
@Linxz_FL , yeah, Marqarito fought 3 more times after the Cotto fight, but once a cheat, always a cheat.
He gets NO respect from the Boxing world & I'm glad Sugar Shane Mosley beat the Shit outta him ! ! !
He knew he couldn't beat Shane man to man so he tried loading his gloves to get the upper hand & was caught doing so.
I remember losing 100 dollars on this fight. I knew something was up with this fight when I was watching it live becuz we all as boxing fans knew margarito wasn’t better than Cotto and Cotto was coming into himself as one of the best fighters pound of pound in his weight class. I took that bet becuz I knew there was no way Margarito could beat him and the way Cotto was taking knees in the 11th I was like come on something isn’t right and margarito punches weren’t even thrown with heat, he was slow and he kept stalking as if he knew something we didn’t and then what do u know approximately 7 to 8 months later he fight Mosley and the scandal came out and it all made sense and then I went back and watched the Paul Williams fight and was like yeah he had loaded gloves in that fight as well.
Facts no head movement nothing just straight walking him down knowing all he need was one good shot
It was never proven on this fight your argument is just null.
💯 becuz I was like it ain’t no way and when u analyze those fights in particular, Paul Williams in this Cotto fight he was heating up in the later rounds coming forward with more pressure. That plaster of Paris was definitely solid by those later rounds.
He did it, I won’t go as far as saying every fight but against fighters who he knew could beat him I l believe he cheated. He definitely cheated against Cotto, I don’t care about no proof knowing what I know now I see it. Like I said I knew something was off when I watched that fight live.
@@eriklaguira there’s photo evidence of his wraps cracked bc of the plaster
By far the toughest fighter ever knowing what we now know. What a fight to watch in 2023. New fighters couldn’t compare to this history.
Felicitaciones a Margarito se le vio bien preparado, el error de Cotto quererse fajar con un tipo mas fuerte y pago caro esa osadía LO DEL VENDAJE? Me quedo con lo que dijo Evangelista Cotto que miro el vendaje de inicio a fin y dijo q no vio nada raro en el vendaje de Margarito y reconoció la victoria de Margarito aduciendo q jamás debió Cotto pararse a fajar con un peleador más fuerte, me quedo con eso felicitaciones Margarito
Primero asegúrate lo que dices, cajetillo el entrenador de margarita fue vetado por vida del box, fueron a corte y se comprobó todo. Lo malo que a margarita no lo sancionaron, se hizo el que no sabia. Fin
@@miguelverduzco2327 con todo respeto al que debe asegurarse de lo que dices usted, a Capetillo lo sancionan por la pelea con Mosley, ya que hay y su entrenador Zab Richardson dice que vio algo raro como una sustancia pastosa en el vendaje, por la primera pelea con Cotto no hubo Sanción alguna .
@@miguelverduzco2327 en el minuto 45:32 sale Evangelista Cotto su entrenador
@@miguelverduzco2327 Demuestranos que Margarito hizo trampa en esta pelea, saca la evidencia genio.
Margarito with those gloves 🤦🏻♂️
This fight only shows how tough and awesome Coto is....
Мигель Котто боксер который держать дистанцию и умеет бить точно в цель
Le metieron la riata a cotto y punto es imposible usar yeso se quebraría la mano además hay personas supervisando el vendaje es una estupidez, simplemente desprestigiaron a Margarito y eso cm fue gracias al que estaba con Mosley que era muy polémico de ahí cotto se agarro y si no me creen vean la segunda pelea a pesar que Margarito estaba casi retirado tenía todo cansado y golpeado a cotto, solo por que pac man literal lo retiro.
Eso es verdad te quebrarias la mano. Si usas yeso cuando peleas
@@yairvictoriano6675 you boys are obviously Mexicans. Bias is real, but it was proven his pads under his gloves were illegal and artificially hardened! Its EXACTLY like the documentary about the Irish kid who had his prime stolen by a journey man who cheated in the identical way about 10 - 15 years before this fight. Antonio may not have known at the time but just use google and you will see the truth.
..quebraria los huesos faciales..no la .mano...cotto es .mas viejo que .margarito
If you hit someone with bass knuckles ,it won't break your hands. The same is true with plaster
That's why he's smiling because he's looking at the damage the plaster wraps are doing
I’d give my respect to Cotto, all of it. Once I heard that Margarito fought this fight with plaster, and when he got busted with it before the fight against Shane Mosley, I was disappointed and mad. He was a cheater with concrete hands. You’ll always be a cheater, and a disgrace to boxing! 😡😤👎🏻
These announcers we're like a tale of two cities. Cotto this, Cotto that,....A-oh!! Down goes Cotto.
Margarito is just a fraud
pause at 0:43 and you will see two 666's. This fight was staged just like every other boxing match.
Why didn't Cotto's camp catch the hand wraps during the pre-fight? They did not see it? A lot of things don't make sense in this whole drama...
Usually someone from each camp comes over to the others camp to check the hand wrapping. What happened here?
IF COTTO WOULD HAVE FOUGHT ANYONE ELSE THAT NIGHT, HE WOULD HAVE WON.
No, Margarito at his peak>Cottos peak
If Margarito don't have the loaded gloves it would be a disaster for Tijuana Tornado because you can see Cotto landed a very good and solid shots and if cotto has the speed like Duran or Jones jr. and a skill he could beat manny pacquiao in a very tough fight
MARGARITO!!! Cotto has always been a fighter. With straight shots.
He almost loss with loaded gloves speaks volumes to the talents of cotto definitely hall of fame
My question is when they were preparing for margarito gloves before the fight how did one of cottos people did not catch him using loaded gloves?
It wasn’t the gloves in this fight, they say it was the handrwaps
Because He didn’t. The Las Vegas Commision wouldnt allow it to Happen And They Sit and Watch You Thru Everything even Cottos Uncle Said the Wraps Were fine. Cotto Always Had Something to say after a Loss.
@@Chris-np3li it's TRUE cotto makes so many excuses
Cotton was more like a ballet dancer than a boxer , for sure he couldn't even slow down margarito as much as he hit him .
Cotto looked really good, he was sharp, his punches accurate but we know now that he had no chance. His nose began bleeding middle of the 2nd round and you know that's not right. He was being hit with bricks in effect, it's really hard to watch.
Plaster takes About 6 To 7 Rounds For it to Harden.
If Antonio Margarito use load gloves and plaster why wasn’t it ever investigated by the Nevada state athletic commission in 2008 that same year and same day after the fight was over. How come it took a couple of months to find out about the load gloves with plaster inside Margarito Gloves .
No one knew about the loaded gloves until the Mosley fight a little bit over a year later
It's a shame that the whole Margarito hand wrap situation cast such a cloud over what, at face value, is one of the greatest welterweight fights you will ever see.
Margarito never cheated
@@Loganpaul8888 That will always be debatable, and there's just no way we'll ever know for sure.
Margarito se habría convertido en una leyenda si hubiera gana esta pelea justamente
No hay evidencia de que haya hecho trampa aqui, fuera de la chilladera de Cotto
@@fanofgodjimindiva2497 muy cierto, vi la segunda pelea y cotto terminó igual de jodido
@@SuperiorNegan Esa pelea la ganó Cotto gracias al trabajo de demolición que hizo Pacquiao en Margarito. y la detuvieron cuando Margarito (aun con un ojo) estaba comenzando a imponerse en la pelea, no fuera a ser que Cotto se fuera a rendir otra vez.
@@fanofgodjimindiva2497 exactamente, incluso en la estadística sale como la mayoría de los golpes de cotto fueron hacia el ojo dañado de margarito, cotto se aprovechó de eso
@@SuperiorNegan El trabajo destructivo que hizo Pacquiao a Margarito fue tan grande, que sirvio para producir dos victorias, una para Pac y otra para Cotto. de todos modos, lo que le dio la victoria a Margarito sobre Cotto en esta pelea fue su resistencia a los golpes y su condicion para no dejar de contestar los ataques de Cotto, quijada y condición superior, no ningunas vendas de yeso fantasmas.
Margarito was a terrific fighter, no matter how many punches he takes, he just keeps coming. He always gave everything he had everytime he fought. He was a problem for top fighters at 147 back then. It's just disappointing that he/his team chose to cheat despite of these traits
.
.
Except with Mosley where his defense of just banking on his chin and skull really backfired. He should have actually learned some defense instead of cheating.
Si fue una pelea fuera de serie. Xk cotto con tan gran desbentaja aguanto once rounds, y me pongo a pensar si ubiera sido pareja la pelea los dos con yeso en los guantes!! Cotto lo destroza,lo ubiera matado.. Margarito la verguenza mas grande del boxeo y k no diga k no sabia como chingados no bas a sentir eso en tus guantes porfabor!!
Best of luck in learning the English language, m/oron
Knowing what I know now, watching that 11th round is ROUGH.
Margarito was never proven to cheat in this fight though so..
Greatness
nunca me cansaré de mirar está joyita,,😎🇲🇽😁👍
How could you be proud of a cheater?
@dorianday5946 you need open your eyes.Shee🐑
Mejor fue la revancha
