Margarito and the wraps

[TitoFan]

Whilst I believe Marg did cheat I was impressed by his performance against Pac Man and believe he does deserve to fight Cotto.

I think Cotto takes him apart this time!

Loaded wraps or not, Cotto couldn't even make Margarito flinch with all the punches he received straight to his face and body. Unless Margarito dipped himself in plaster before the fight.

You have a point. However.... I think the reason the punches had little effect is the way Cotto threw them. He never really committed to the punches.... they were thrown from the back foot. Compare that to Mosley, who took Margarito apart by throwing himself into his punches. Hopefully, Emanuel Stewart will have corrected that strategy, and Cotto's punches will be more effective. After all, Cotto does not have a history of being a soft puncher. The one thing that worries me is the mental aspect.... as Cotto suffered a lot of punishment in their first fight, probably as a result of the loaded wraps. How else to explain the abnormal damage to Cotto's face? A bit of sweet justice was handed out by Pacquaio, who proceeded to bust up Margacheato's face WITHOUT the use of suspect wraps. Cotto's pretty strong mentally, so.... although Margacheato does not DESERVE a 2nd fight.... you can't rule Cotto out.
