Good stuff I thought he would be.I seen him from a distance yesterday I was wondering and even told my girl that I hope he would be good.That was a good fight the crowd was great and we all gave it up to yuri at the end of the fight.

cotto looked great and comfortable at 154, he wasnt forced to weight drain at some bs catchweight

wait for the so-called Pac-Cotto 2 and be disappointed cuz as sure as the sun rises tomorrow Pac-Cotto 2 will be a catchweight title fight. it happened before it'll happen again.

BIGPOPPAPUMP's article is a terrible review of the fight. Cotto was winning comfortably, had landed the more frequent harder shots. Foreman had gotten the occasional sharp right in but never looked to have hurt Cotto. It was pretty one sided, a story told by both Foreman's face at the end of round 6 and the judges score cards.

Yes, the injury cut the fight short, but Foreman was taking punishment long before his leg gave out on him, and did not have the skills or seemingly speed to trouble Cotto who was patiently outboxing Foreman. It was looking like either a lopsided points victory or late KO until the injury. I also thought the referee did the right thing. Foreman can hold his head up high. He was still firing until the final body shot.
