    Bob Arum: "Yuri's Injury Left Enough Doubt To Justify A Rematch"

    Even promoter Bob Arum, for whom Cotto has been a huge draw in the loyal Hispanic boxing market, acknowledged that Foreman's injury left just enough doubt to justify a rematch.
    Cotto wins battle of wounded knee on bizarre fight night at Yankee Stadium.


    WTF? and the whole article is bs. The dude said he had the fight even going in to the 7 round!!! WTF is that?

    But that can wait till after Cotto fights Margarito

        I think he needs to check the scorecards for the rounds before the injury..

          rematch is fine.

          maybe not immediate.

          i'd rather see cotto with foreman at 154 again than say pwill or martinez.

          or hell even vanes.

          cotto is too small for 154.

              I didn't think the fight was that close outside of a few rounds early on...Yuri really was doing little...outside of jabbing, just constant movement...Cotto seemed to block almost everything...

                  Did Cotto appear tired to you stalking nonstop? Cotto gave no indication at all that he wasnt properly conditioned..
