Kostya Tszyu was already a world Champion by his 19th pro fight and was fighting at a much higher level. Also that KO was more to do with Tszyu punching himself out than Vince Phillips going in and taking it.
That wasnt the only right hook landed on Cotto last night. In fact, Cotto was getting hit a lot by Corley..he just has very little power.
but you're right, Cotto needs to start slower like usual and stalk his opponent more.
I think Cotto has a poor defence, he stands in range to often just holding his hands up, he's pretty poor backed up too. But with his normal style its not a major problems, he just need to fight smart.
