A horrible tragic story...
You should do more research on it. I could easily paste links and stuff but it's more exciting when you do the search yourself...
There's a doc. film on the event, the fight is on YouTube if your interested in seeing it. I haven't and there's loads of pictures of what Collins face looked like after the fight.
Done a bit of research on it this moring. Jesus wept, his face at the end of the fight.What I found hard to believe was when his father realised he had padding out of his gloves, he called in the commissioner but then didn't seem to do much else. Then Resto was all smiles and dancing around the ring. I am surpised his father didn't try to throttle him after seeing the damage it had done to his face. What annoys me is, Resto got two years in prison along with his trainer, that is what should have happened to Margarito. Fair enough he didn't fight with the plaster but the intent was there and he would've worn them into the bout had they not been discovered by Nazim Richardson. He could've done the same, if not worse, damage to Mosley. Even Cotto's face was reminiscent of Collin's face after the Resto fight.
Margarito dominated Cotto and gave him a beating. That would have boosted his ego and self-confidence.
His next fight was against Mosley who had been beaten by the boxer he just busted. Why would he then use loaded gloves in that fight when he didn't need it before? It just doesn't make sense.
Conclusion: He was already 'dirty' in the Cotto fight.
Cotto vs Margarito II will put them in an even playing field.
Perhaps because mosley had never been stopped before, had a solid chin, only been hurt once in his entire career...
Get over it!!! Margarito kicked the shit out of Cotto fair and square, anyone who watched Cotto run from mosley the last three rounds knew he wasn't going to get away from Margarito. In fact that's why some people on here changed their pick from Cotto to Margarito after seeing Miquel run from Mosley.

You mean Margarito loaded his gloves to stop Mosley. He did not need to stop Mosley in order to beat him. Sugar Shane had already 4 lost prior to that fight. It isn't like he is unbeatable.
Besides, any boxer whose face is being pummeled by bricks will be running the last three rounds, probably even earlier.
