From the evidence i've seen and heard I would have to say Marg cheated against Cotto.
Kind of reminds me of the Assault in the ring Video by HBO. Except not such a devastating ending!

Richardson was the one who spotted something odd, when the commissioner who was also standing right there hadn't noticed anything. Its very possible that we may not have been able see anything once the wraps were in place.
End of the day I hope he never fights again, he doesn't deserve to make another cent of the sport he disrespected
The bricks were hidden under the wraps as inside the wraps. Did you miss the way Tony was caught? Tony already had his hands wrapped and approved by the commission when Richardson asked if he could touch them and then Richardson said they feel hard, can we have them removed? And when they were removed, out fell the plaster bricks so how would any one with a camera be able to see what is under the wraps if the commission that was standing there supposedly doing there job missed it. Does HBO have xray camera machines now?
They just supervise they don't really inspect the wraps. I'm no handwrap expert but I really doubt the inspector would have any reason to call over and feel the knucklepad out to make sure everything is legit.
Theres more reason to believe Tony cheated than he didnt
Why you going to use plaster against an old man when your an overwhelming favorite? But not use it in your previous fight when the roles were reversed?
What if the commission came into the ring and inspected the gloves and wraps after a fight, as well as observing the hand wrapping? I know it would be after the fact, but if it was known they would be checked...

He probably did have loaded wraps... we can (and have) speculate as much and for as long as we want to but only 1-2 people will ever know for certain.
Cotto's fans are just going to have to accept the outcome and move on.
out and out cheat!! should be in jail instead of wanting rematches
