The morning after the fight i posted in a thread that Cotto did NOT quit.
However after watching the fight 3 more times since it is clear that after the 2nd knockdown Cotto shook his head and said "no" in the direction of his corner. Seconds later the towel was thrown in and the fight waved off.
This indicates to me that YES Cotto did indeed quit.
I almost felt sorry for the guy to be honest, Tony broke his heart and spirit as well as his face.
In my opinion, telling his corner he couldnt take any more was probably a sensible thing to do and my respect for him as a boxer has not diminished because of that.
Did anyone else see this?
