Nobody knew what a punk Cintron would turn out to be, that fight had HUGE implications and yes I believe Margarito loaded his wraps for that fight.

Look at what Cintron hit him with and ask yourself if the Margarito that got blasted out by Shane Mosley could have taken that!

I also give you another example of loading gloves seemingly helping a fighter's chin....look at Resto-Collins, is there any way Resto takes those punches from a big puncher like Billy Collins and goes the distance Resto had been KO'd 3 times in his career before fighting Collins, all vs some guys with DECENT not magnificent power...Collins was a big puncher 14 wins 11 KO's. You think Resto lasts the distance without those wraps?
Collins was not as big a puncher as his record indicated. He didn't possess great one punch power. He was stopping his opponents cuz they were pretty much over matched.
