He took ONE big shot that round and immediately started feinting and moved around to avoid any incoming punches since when does a fight get stopped when both fighters are in the clinch!? It looked like Cotto was about to turn it up in that last round, who knows what would have happened if it wasn't stopped so prematurely
It was a bit premature in that it he got tagged with one shot and Bayless jumped in a situation in which I think Cotto could of shifted his feet and moved out of. I think it was a bit harsh because he wanted to see the bell. He wasn't going to win, but Cotto clearly wanted to try anyway and make the bell. If Bayless was going to stop it, he should of jumped in 2 rounds earlier.
1stly - I agree that this was a bull**** stoppage, terrible refereeing IMO. 2ndly - Cotto wasnt gonna do **** in that last rd except lose on pts wide, no way was he gonna KO Pacquiao.
