In 2008, Antonio Margarito finally got his shot. He'd been prevented by Floyd Mayweather, Junior., on several occasions and was rightfully considered “the most prevented fighter on the planet.” He'd face the undefeated Miguel Cotto inside a ppv showdown and that he would beat the chances and batter the undefeated Puerto Rican celebrity into submission in 11 models. It had been an excellent moment for Margarito and displayed why boxing is really an excellent sport. Will could beat skill.
A couple of several weeks later, Margarito would get another much talked about match against Sugar Shane Mosley and that’s once the dark secret of his success was revealed. Margarito was using plaster of Paris in the hands systems to get at this level. Without them, Mosley easily knocked him out.
The thought reveal the Cotto victory. It grew to become quite apparent that Margarito loaded his mitts against him too and also the devastation that Cotto suffered permanently hurt his career. He's never been exactly the same also it can be associated with that evening in 2008, and today the 2 will get together again in December inside a long awaited rematch.
Cotto, 36-2, 29 KO’s, rebounded from his defeat, but he isn't exactly the same fighter. He was battered by Manny Pacquiao last year, but rebounded to win the WBA Light Middleweight Title having a stoppage of Yuri Foreman, then your final round knockout of Ricardo Mayorga. Despite the fact that he defeated Mayorga, he didn't look spectacular. He was gun shy and permitted a lot of incoming shots to land, which cost him very much with Pacquiao. The Margarito beating continues to be residual over his psyche.
The boxing world suspended Margarito, 38-7, 27 KO’s, after his cheating ways were uncovered however the energy of Bob Arum introduced him back and placed him right into a huge super showdown with Manny Pacquiao. Margarito was centered. Now he's immediately released into another large pay day …and they are saying that cheaters never win!
Arum is selling the great guy versus. the villain. Margarito even sports the devilish beard and it has followers that supports an “anything to win” approach. Cotto’s supporters need to see him avenge this defeat and shine a light, battering the spouse into submission, that is exactly what the first fight might have most likely been had there been no plaster involved. Despite the fact that Margarito will not be loading his mitts here, he's an advantage starting that one nevertheless.
The reminiscences which have haunted the career of Cotto come in full effect and it'll be a challenge to beat. The punches that land from Margarito will help remind him from the bricks he was hit within 2008, and the possible lack of confidence that Cotto now shows will hurt him here. Margarito, even without plaster, is definitely an imposing guy and can attempt to immediately intimidate Cotto, and when he works, he'll get another stoppage win.
Anticipation is the fact that Cotto is going to be psychologically right which the cash that Margarito is getting in will cease. He might have wiped out his competitors using the loaded mitts, but as lengthy because it lined his pockets, he didn’t care, but yet, Promoter Bob Arum doesn’t care either and was quick to create back his Mexican bad boy. A fighter with no marketing push could have been banned for existence.
On December 3rd, Cotto vs Margarito will happen again, and you’ll need to determine if seeing the spouse punished may be worth purchasing it. It’s difficult to support a celebration that benefits some people that have hurt the activity around he did.
