Crowd's reaction when Cotto caught that right hook = priceless....

[spinksjinx]

Corley was on his way to being soundly defeated before the premature stoppage. Some people are grossly overreacting to the shots Cotto weathered in the 3rd round.

I agree, I didnt see Corley winning the later rounds especially if it went to the cards (which is what I expected would have happened) but Corley shown enough in the fight that it should have kept going, It was pretty even.

Also Corley's shots did look like pillows...He was throwing combinations and I was like is he that slow? It looked like he got nothing off on a lot of them. But who am I to judge? He did stun Cotto pretty bad and thats all that matters. Fortunately enough their was a rematch clause, but that wont get exercised.

He did stun Cotto pretty bad

Yeah that was a perfect punch. I'll tell you why it hurt Cotto so badly.

Cotto had just generated hella leverage and was coming in with a big left hook, and right when the leverage moved through his torso and he was coming up with the punch, he caught the shot from Corely, resulting in his leverage+corely's leverage+corely's punch applied to his head. I watched that punch like 12 times in a row after the fight last night, just to see exactly how it went down.

Sneaky southpaws are always fun to watch ^^
