Whats the big deal? you are supposed to get your hardest work in sparring

That **** happens everytime with him and is my biggest concern. He bruises even with headgear on and that is a product of the first Margarito fight. After that fight his faces gets marked up easily even against light punching opponents. All you have to do is land a shot from a weird angle and he bruises.

I think cotto loses and loses bad to Canelo but him being busted up means nothing and if he cared he wouldent have gone out in public if he did.

It's not only his face. Roach spoke about Frankie Gomez during his fight on friday and revealed that Gomez is resposible for Cotto's marks:

"To me he [Frankie Gomez] is the best prospect in the world today. He spars with Manny Pacquiao, sparred with Miguel Cotto a couple days ago. He [Gomez] beats him [Cotto] up sometimes, he holds his own. He is a future superstar. I think he's my next champion, he'll be great."
