This film is one sided bollocks
Not excusing Margarito one bit but there is no proof he had modified wraps against Cotto
Did you see the Cotto Fight, Cottos Nose was smashed from a clash of heads this affected Cottos stamina Margarito then walked through 6 rounds of pounding before Cotto slowed enough for Margarito to catch him
I saw no proof in that fight that hand-wraps would have made and difference in that fight

Can you please post the clash of heads.
Also, Roach said it clearly, we have no proof, but fans are not that stupid. Tony was caught trying to use plaster against an old man whom most thought he had no chance. Why would you use plaster against an old man and yet not try to do it against an undefeated young fighter in his prime? Is there any logic to it? Not in my book. That is like fighting the king of the school yard fair fight and then going out and beating up girls with brass knuckles![]()
That's it Sonny, we'll never know unless someone at some point comes forward and admits Margarito plastered for Cotto. But there will forever be speculation because he is a known cheat now and cannot be trusted. He deserves the scorn and taint on his record in my opinion. (I know not everyone will agree). But I'd love to see an asterisk beside his name in any records of history. Just to let future people know, this sport has no place for that kinda thing. People are dying from and living with brain injuries as it is, without the help of a cheat with no concern for rules or others safety.
Dam cheater...He tried cheatin on the Mosley fight
But i Agree with Sonny theres no proof that he cheated on Cotto.![]()
I am not so sure if he cheated against Cotto. How can we explain Margarito walking forward like a tank against a swarm of mosquitoes (Cotto's punches)? Did he put plaster on his face? Also, if Margarito was cheating that night, it would be a bit dumb of him to be parading his fists up high in victory walking around the ring, in front of all cameras, during the interviews after the fight, etc. Those kind of things make me wonder if he cheated or not.
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 Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
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?
out and out cheat!! should be in jail instead of wanting rematches
Everyone can believe what they want. I don't buy that Margacheato would start cheating at that particular juncture of his career. There is no way anyone can convince me that he had never done that before the Mosley fight. There is no way you are going to take that kind of risk unless you are reasonably confident you are going to get away with it.
I'm glad to see Freddie Roach has come to his senses. It made me sick when he came out and said he believed Margacheato and was going to try to help him get back on his feet, just because Margacheato told him he didn't do it.
