Theres no point speculating about whether he had the straps against Cotto because it is just speculation and we'll probably never find out. Who knows what might have been going on behind the scenes that made his team think that the dodgy straps might be needed for the 1st time against Mosley.

The way the fight ended up would suggest he might have had them on though the way he steamrollered Cotto in the 2nd half of it.
