Here we take a look at one of the sports most infamous rivalries. A two-fight collision between a tough, relentless Mexican fighter and his skilled, patient Puerto Rican rival. 🎙 Narration Credit: www.fiverr.com/share/QGYp
He wasn't robbed he was beat the 2nd fight was headed the same way he was gassed because no matter what he hit margarito with margarito kept coming and he started to gas luckily for cotto the ref stopped it after the 9th cuz margarito was coming again
Margarita and his team all should be in Prison right now. Just like Resto for cheating against Billy Collins. Panama Lewis is gone. But shoulve been locked up for what he did against a 22 year old man in what was just starting out as a great career. Panama Lewis, karma will catch your family for your tactics. God has you in his hand an is slowly squeezing it...
Is nobody mentioning the look of anger and rage on Sugar Shane's face with every punch he threw? It's like 'you tried to kill, me? Imma fuck you up now boy'
alot of people were believing that maybe margarito didnt know and when pacquiao clowned him like that you can feel people feeling dumb af. he really put it into perspective lol
bad breeds every race everywhere. thats why im not to big on pride if all born pride was gone the world would be a better place. we should be prideful of who loves us and what we accomplish not what we are born into. cheers🤟🏽
We got dirt bags everywhere bud. Mexican fighters are some of the classiest, hard working and tough guys to do it. 1 bad apple , in this case , doesn't ruin the bunch. Chavez, Marquez, morralles, canelo and many more cemented an undeniable reputation in boxing that 100% of fighters and fans respect.
As a Mexican I felt pretty great about Margarito's victory, he was one of my favorites. After the cement gloves I felt so embarrassed and betrayed, damn
@necrowolf77…. SADDEST thing about it as well is: How can Margarito now Teach his son, (including nephews & nieces) how NOT to cheat?? Margarito’s desire to fame got him BLINDED!! He forgot he had a SON who would definitely learn somehow of his Dad’s “short cut” to fame?? I pray Margarito thinks of an ACCEPTABLE & VALID REASON to tell his Son - especially when his son reaches the Age of Proper Adult Reasoning 🦋🙏🦋 OR ….. Margarito “Better be a Sinner Turn to Saint!” lifestyle THAN “A Saint Turn to a Sinner!”
@@nabilhernandez9456 AGREE - to some degree🥲 Such is the sad thing with a SPORTSMAN (or any one who catches the public eye). SADLY, social media has Highlighted the wrongdoing. Back where i come from, he’d be branded as “B.I.” (Bad Influence). Let’s NOT CONDONE Him-rather, we should condone only his wrongdoing. Better yet, let’s pray that Margarito’s thoughts be “Enlightened” & his Heart be “Softened” by Divine Intervention. I’m sure there’s the good side of him🤞🤞
@@nabilhernandez9456 He's still a disgrace, even if he didn't cheat. He's unsportsmanlike and disrespectful, unlike Cotto or Pacquio who are respectful and humble.
Agreed. That loss changed the trajectory of Cotto's career. He took permanent physical and mental damage (hurting his confidence). I was so happy that all the top fighters went on to abuse Margarito.
As a Puertorican I can confirm that watching the first fight made us cry of pure sadness, but we were still proud of Cotto’s effort, but going into the rematch, watching Cotto dominate Margarito from the start was amazing...we were basically crying out of joy midway through the fight, and when they stopped the fight and announced Cotto as the winner, we all instantly the happiness rush through our bodies, some of us definitely cried that night out of pure joy, Margarito basically disrespected Cotto in that first fight and to watch Cotto get revenge was amazing, definitely a fight to remember, I even got goosebumps when I saw that they stopped it in this video, it almost made me cry again, vamos arriba Boricua🇵🇷
@@jonnygranville281 HI Jonny, I like How Cotto showed Manny Much respect before their fight. Manny TOTALLY Dominated Margarito from the first round.Manny even looked at the judge Twice, if the fight should be stopped. Cotto the the Heart the to totally go the full 12 rounds with Manny. It was the judge in the ring to stop the fight, before the round was over.
That was huge though that very easily could have gone unnoticed, he literally helped change and even right history that night by doing his job thoroughly.
I agree, whenever I watch interviews with Shane Mosley now I think he sounds abit punch drunk, which I hate to see from anybody who fought in boxing for a career, imagine if Margarito got in with Mosley with the wraps on.
Cotto was never the same after that first Margarito fight. I was a fan of Cotto, but it was only after Margarito was exposed as a cheating fraud with Mosley that I understood just how much of a warrior he was during that fight against Margarito and his loaded gloves. Margarito was a cheating coward and should have been permanently banned after his loaded gloves were discovered. Loaded gloves should end your career because you are putting the other fighter's actual life, future health and mental faculties, and their entire career at risk to give yourself an unfair brutal advantage.
Margarito should have been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. People die in the ring without loaded gloves. And yes, this fight ruined Cotto, gave him alot of scar tissue which opens up easier and broke his confidence. Cotto still had a successful career but when he was up and coming he had potential to be one of the greats. Margarito robbed us of that, he is a shit human being.
@@carlosbarboza6826 Good point. Unless that person is loco. Hell, I know I wouldn't do it. . I remember when that story broke but I can't recall clearly the details. I believe it also involved someone hurling a concrete block thru the windshield of someone else's car?
Cotto has long been on of my favorite fighters. I think that the story between the two of them, and the revenge that indeed up happening was so incredible, that I honestly think It should be made into a movie. the moment when he goes over to margaritos corner and just looks at the defeated man on the stool, and dosent say a word! That was one of the most bad ass, and satisfying revenge moments in recent boxing history.
I understand if he would of finished him or at least dropped him once, but no I thought that was dumb af if anything cotto lucky docs stopped the fight marg was coming strong late which he always does an cotto was starting to breathe heavy which he always does. 🥊
@@5kwattz Cotto landed more punches, had double the accuracy, landed more power punches and hit Margarito more than 80 times in the right eye. If anything, Margarito was lucky, cause his shots didnt land as much and was weaker overall and his face was really messed up. Cotto proved that Margarito was a cheater, as he held his ground for 9 rounds and almost didn't bleed at all, vs gushing blood all over the place in 5 rounds and dropping in the end in the first fight. He also won the fight, doesnt matter how, but he did it.
@@5kwattz you say you would've understand, but I don't think you can relate at all. You probably couldn't even face a guy if that happened to you let alone rise to the occasion and stay calm and precise. You sound like you're looking for things to dislike. You supported the mexican fighter didn't you?
Cotto was never the same after that first fight with the 🐍. His face would always swell up easily and bleed quickly afterwards. A damn shame😔 Loved his fights. True champion. True legend.
And the little dude named Manny punished all three guys Margarito, Cotto, and Mosley. These are three guys that Mayweather ducked during the peek time in their careers. This tells you how great Manny really is compared to Mayweather.
Mosley thoughts about Margarito: How can he beat the one who just beat me? Margarito after removing gloves and hand wraps. Nazim Richardson noticed the hand wraps "is that hand wraps filled with plaster?" Mosley: So, that's why?
I liked Coto and Margarito BUT I lost all respect for Antonio that night in July or shortly after. I've always wondered why there were no criminal charges against Margarito. After all thats assault.
Pretty sure he got a fat fine. He got suspended. And look.. he ended up fighting in mexico. Couldn’t get anymore fights in the US. A lot happened to his cheating ass.
Imagine what Cotto's Career couldve been if that first Margarito fight hadnt happened. He was never quite the same after that first one. He still made it into boxing history but that hurt his confidence a bit it seemed.
@@hugo.nieves787 thanks for the kind words, means a lot, again I really cherish my time in P.R. and rock my Miguel Cotto Wildcard t-shirt any chance I get ^^
everyone had a beating in pacquiao's prime lmao, he lost focus when he started in politics and being involved with several women....regained his focus when jinkee almost left his ass with their kids and he became a born again christian to repent, that KO by marquez was a good thing to have him regain his focus too
I really feel the verge of tears of Jim Lampley at the end. He feels what kind of pain that Cotto absorbed after the fight. It is not just normal beating for f*ck sake!!!
NO DOUBT, LAMPLEY WAS GETTING CHOKED UP. COTTO = 100% CLASS. A REAL CREDIT TO THE SPORT. AN EXAMPLE TO THE YOUNG KIDS ON HOW "NOT" TO BE ARROGANT ARSE.
I have to say this video covers the story much better than others I've seen. I had no idea mosleys team actually discovered the wraps were tampered with. In a video I watched about it all they showed was cotto reviewing fagarito's wraps where they had busted and it made it seem like it was all speculation until they rematched. Pretty crucial info that was left out so thanks for covering ALL the details
Now the question is "How many of Margarito's wins came through cheating? Was the first Cotto fight the first time Margarito cheated? Or the twenty-first time?"
I think Motividia presentations should be hired by the promotional companies in doing a fight presentation. This dude always does exceptional video that is worth watching until the end!
For sure Cottos fight changed his life ,he had to feel like shitt and ambarise for life,even in his oun country,Mexico,they got to be like ok we got a loser first class of boxing ,look at him his right here,ghet under your bed and don't come out
I remember watching this fight live and being shocked at just how calm and collected Cotto was considering everything that had happened - a true professional.
As A half Mexican half Colombian boxing fan. Cotto was always one of my favorite boxers to watch as a kid. Always put up a good fight, had heart and an absolute class act. One of my favorite PR boxers to watch that wasn’t a prime Trinidad
Cotto's always been a fighter I respected. I remember watching him during his match with Pacquiao and being blown away that he was able to stand after that.
Cotto is the most respectful and kind person I’ve ever met I met him when I was 12 my gym had a fight in Caguas PR and he was there i won by stopping the other kid from a body shot in the 3rd and after the match Cotto came to congratulate me and gave me advice about boxing me and my family were devastated when we saw him taking a knee against Margarito the first time I was so glad he beat Margarito the second time after he had cheated
@Jovan Flores true but his story was kinda inspired plus his style could have been loved by fans but relied on cheating so he got what he earned it was satisfying to see him lose.
Thankyou so much for this Motivedia I've been waiting for someone to shine the spotlight on what I believe to be one of the greatest boxing stories of the past 20 years beautiful drama tragedy loss and triumph in the face of evil the cotton revenge watching it live brought a tear to my eye. J
Yes he was...he only received a 1 year suspension and was still fighting in mexico. When hw came back, he fought Pacquiao who was the no 1 Pound for pound fighter at the time...makes you think about how corrupt boxing politics is
Well we don't even execute convicted pedophiles here anymore amazingly...they usually get 2-4 years then go out repeat offend. Get 2-4 more years. Get out do it again and then sometimes kill to....then maybe this time get 20-30 years.....and repeat...so that's likely why!. Granted that's a different department Boxing commission Politics not Government judicial Politics but still the corruption/deception bs tactics are the same.
@@applesauce0211 Great point and your absolutely correct Margarito did not"deserve/earn" that huge pay day/and chance to enhance his legacy in the way off chance he actually some would/could have upset Pacquiao...however see it more like this...God is always in control and in the end he always delivers justice even if systems fail which they so often do...in this case sure Margarito got few million bucks- means little when you have lost everyone's respect and trust by the way Money means nothing at that point! but he also got and received righteous justice and judgement in the form of Pacquaio not just shutting him out and proving once and for all that the Margarito boogeyman era was over forever! he also literally gave Margarito a Broken eye socket/orbital bone/ some even think a full on lost eye for life.-there are pictures which seem to potentially suggest Margarito may even flat out straight up have a fake eye now he very well might have literally lost his eye from that damage he took in that Pac fight! but bare minimum his eye is fucked his skull there and orbital bone fucked for life etc. Irreparable damage and pain! and that is for life! so make no mistake Justice in the end will be and was delivered fortunately ya know!.
@@applesauce0211 Why? Money. Mexican fighters brings in Mexican fans which brings in the most money of any fans. Any other fighter would be a lifetime ban.
Man just watching this video. Reminds me that boxing is missing something. That something is Mr. Jim Lampley. In my eyes the best commentator ever to call it. Gotta love the sweet science
i remember watching this fight...i was so happy when i saw cotto win that i cried. even after mosley and pacquiao beat margarito, and it was evident his punches werent nearly as hard, the boxing world needed to see cotto get his revenge.
Cotto one of my all time favorite fighters, even way past him prime he gave a prime Canelo problems. Dudes a legend am I glad to see him get recognized more in boxing media like this 👍🏼
SO HERE'S THE THING AYE!! I have watched the revenge couple times with other channels, but Maaahn.. When I saw it was MOTIVEDIA I clicked it so fast, I couldn't wait.. You're the best on RU-vid!! PERIOD!!!
I remember as a teenager going to other Puerto Rican houses to watch Cotto fight. It filled our hearts as Puerto Ricans with so much pride and love for Cotto. We never missed a fight. Boricua por siempre
I remember when this happened. I was very young and was still in middle school/elementary school. I’m Mexican so naturally we rooted for Margarito, but also liked Cotto because he’s from Rhode Island. We noticed towards the end of the fight that Margarito was fighting a bit too good, like one body shot or hook to the cheek was like taking a shot from thanos. Then we found out about the illegal hand wraps, and next thing you know, we were celebrating Cotto beating the absolute SHIT out of Margarito! Karma is amazing
I've watched videos about this whole disgusting saga before, but none have made me sit with a scowl for so long, and then smile so broadly. Great video - fantastic stuff, indeed.
Totally forgot about how stacked the Welterweight division was at that time and FMJ abruptly retiring when the heat got super hot to go do WWE, WTH!!! Anyways Margarito deserved that whooping.
@@steadyeddy6184 dodged the superfight (pac) and waited years later to fight. Fuck floyd. That guy didn't care about entertainment like he said. Otherwise the floyd v pac would of happened much sooner.
@@steadyeddy6184 Smart Ass, shut up use your brain. Boxing fan like us would have genrations like Four Kings: Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran but Gayweather retire. He retire hahaha haha ahhaha ahahahahaha hahahahah hahahaha hahahahahahaaa.
Motavedia is a fkin genius 🤣. Many people aren't gonna get the timing of this video but real ones know. This is why you're one of the best Motavedia 👌.
looking back, margarito could easily have become one of my favorite boxers...solid chin, fan-friendly style, never took a step back. what a shame he couldn't cut it without cheating
Seeing Cotto beating the crap Margarito was really satisfying to see. Pacquiao completely rearranging Margarito's face is probably the second most satisfying.
