It is not always about looking spectacular every fight. Especially when your opponent (Abby) goes into survival mode with his gloves up the entire night. Sometimes fighters just get those fights where you cannot land every shot clean. I was most impressed with his patience and composer. He knew Abby was just going to block everything in order to not get knocked out, yet Cotto was still selective and took his time. Cotto like a true pro decided to try to win on the cards while occassionally throwing nice power combos if he saw an opening. It is hard for any fighter to look great when their opponent just survives.
Foreman, one of the most feared punchers in history did not knock EVERYONE he faced and beat out.
I also like watching Cotto fight off the ropes the way he does. Would be interesting with him and Hatton. Cotto will be on the ropes, will be interesting to see if Hatton can keep him there and if Cotto can unload those combos on him. Kostya is not a combination puncher and not mobile. Cotto is.
