    Cotto is not proven to me yet, it was impressive, but we need to see his pace by the 8th round..

      That was Gangsta.
      Everybody doubting him, even us loyal fans, the most were picking him on points or late on but he comes out no music - "Im just here to Fight!", brings the old intensity and lets rip to the body getting himself a KO finish real early in the 3rd round! Brilliant.

        This is true and it remains to be seen if that intensity of attack costs him vs bigger punching fighters. In truth he still has all the problems he had before Rodriguez - His scar tissue and tendency to swell, the fact that he's so short at the weight and despite still having good pop in his shots not as much as in previous divisions imo. His confidence must be high right now and he looked reinvigorated with Freddie Roach. Big tests and questions lay ahead and knowing Miguel he wont be wasting his last few fights in anything less than the first class contests that have been the staple of his great career. Wat a fighter....

          Just watched the fight last night and cotto really put a beating on Delvin. Rodriguez was out of his league and it showed he couldn't do anything. IMO he was done after taking those shots in the second round his body language in his corner indicated to me he wanted so I say it was a good stoppage by the ref. definetely a motivating win for cotto hopefully they can work out a Canelo fight or a Martinez match up

              They mentioned during the fight that the venue was sold out don't know how big the venue is but I'm guessing around 15k

                11,912. More seating was made available two weeks before and it still sold out.

                  It was packed full and very loud..Cotto's following is almost that of a fighter like Hatton so you can imagine how crazy loud it was

                    Cotto vs Rodriguez does 1.55m, the second highest HBO non-PPV ever. This was only second to Miguel's vs Trout fight!

                      His drawing power is as high as ever. A lot of people are going to see him make history against Maravilla in NYC.
