    Yuri was doing good before the injury, he deserve a rematch

    we would never know how would the fight play out without the injury
    I do believe Yuri would have taken control in the later rounds

      It called running when they hate the fighter. Smart boxing if they like him

        All 3 judges had Cotto winning by at least 3 rounds.

        Yuri was losing on all the scorecards even before the knee injury and Cotto was picking up steam.

          LOL I guess.

          The fact that I rooted Cotto, Yuri did well moving despite Cotto known for cutting the ring effectively.

            4-2 isn't something you can't come back from, and Cotto wasn't being all that effective, he was just doing a little better then Foreman who wasn't doing much himself. I'm not saying that Cotto wouldn't have won the fight without Foreman getting injured, i honestly think that Cotto is hard to outbox, you gotta walk him down to make him uncomfortable and Foreman wasn't doing that so i wouldn't use this fight to see where Cotto is at right now.

                I cant remember what round the injury happened but I had cotto up, yuri won 2 rounds for me, so I think it was 4-2 or 5-2 when the injury happened. We all know cotto fades later on in a fight, yuri could certainly defeat cotto if they fought again, he had a poor game plan, needs to be very busy in throwing his punches

                  The Scores were: 79-73 Cotto,79-73 Cotto, and 79-74 Cotto.

                  It was pretty clear where the fight was heading, especially with yuri's nose bleeding and losing stamina.

                  The knee injury just brought the inevitable that much closer.

                      Losing stamina?????
                      Yuri is known to have excellent stamina and conditioning,
                      and he never had any problem in that department.
