    Honestly, why was Cotto running without trying to fight let alone win?

    Cotto did the best he could, but what I do not get is that, you know you are not going to win, you know you will get KOed, why not go for broke and get stopped without embarrassment rather than get stopped while being booed after trying to play keep away when the other guy has six times your speed?.

      Tough to think like that in the ring. Survivial instincts take over...he was trying to survive. He wasn't going through his options saying "well if I go for broke maybe I'll save face and people will call me a warrior". What happened was the natural progression of the fight.

        He power boxed for the first three rounds. Tried to box on his toes for the next three, and then gave up all together and booked it without even trying. I honestly believe he should have said **** it and looked for a bomb, since he knew he wasn't making 12 rounds.

          Because at the beginning of the fight he was going all out and it wasn't working.

            Evidently, not everyone has the same ideals.

            Ah well.

              he was catching PAC with some clean shot................but PAC's relentlesness and chin held up..................his bombs did land(left hook to the body).......according to PAC it did hurt him

                He was just trying to make it to the 12th without being knocked out and looking silly.

                Imo that was pretty much a cowardly move even though he ended up taking more punishment.
