So did Cotto tear his bicep in the 7th round?

You could tell something was wrong when his left arm was hanging by his side for the last bunch of rounds. He was in a tough fight and I think he would have pulled it out.sucks to have to go out with a loss and get injured.

He did and when you look at the judges scores... 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112 he probably would have won had he not. Yeah he was turning the fight around and ali was falling behind, then the injury. It cost him the fight, he could not even use his arm in the last 3 rds. Even though Ali hurt him early Cotto started winning the fight. The only fighter I have seen fight well despite a torn bicep was James Toney, but he was against a fighter whowas no threat. That bicep of Cotto's looked like a severe tear. No matter if you like Cotto or not he was the 3rd biggest fighter of the last 10yrs after Paq and Floyd.

... "Oscar De La Hoya, the head of Golden Boy Promotions, announced at the end of Ali's news conference that Cotto had suffered a tear in the biceps muscle that will require surgery."

He did but you know how these forums roll.

Cotto is also not known for looking good in the late rounds. OP are you trying to relay a message that you are Puerto Rican?

He was getting rocked before the 7th round
