Cotto, who
won a decision over Molsey in 2007, said his ex-foe put forth the perfect
gameplan to win the fight with Margarito.
"He
did the right thing and the outcome was in their favor. He made a great fight
and used his experience and speed to neutralize Margarito," Cotto told El
Nuevo Dia.
Prior to
Margarito's bout with Mosley, a member of the California State Athletic
Commission found a plaster-like substance in the wraps of Margarito, deemed
them illegal. Margarito had to re-wrap his hands three times. The HBO
announcers continued to wonder if Margarito had the same kind of wraps for his
win over Mosley. Evangelista Cotto, uncle and trainer of Miguel, said he didn't
notice anything unusual during the fight.
"At
that time we were not aware of anything," said Evangelista.
Miguel was
happy with the way the CSAC handled the situation and he plans to keep a close
eye on the investigation into the substance in Margarito's gloves. He praised
Mosley's trainer, Nazim Richardson, who saw something strange in the shape of
Margarito's wraps and made a commission member take off the wraps.
"He
did the right thing. They saw something unusual in the process and ordered for
bandages to get removed. I understand that there will be an investigation and
we will see what happens. Margarito and his group are responsible for the
outcome of the commission," Cotto said.
