    Gay guy: welcome home champ to us u are the champ how r you feeling?
    Cotto: very well im all healed up from the beating I took.
    Gay guy: did you recuperate from your arm?
    Cotto: everything is ok
    Gay: when you were in the ring alot of things worried me, they were giving it to you hard and I wanted to ask you if at any point in the fight you felt you were loosing the battle?
    Cotto:The first part of the fight we were winning, however I started feeling gassed out from the shots. Its better to be safe than sorry I have alot more years left to box, thats why I decided to give a knee.
    Gay guy: I know its hard to give up, did you give up or did your korner?
    Cotto: I did you know with my family being there.
    Gay guy: did your family affect you?
    Cotto:This is my job, but they arent used to seeing this. I had one bad day but im sure plenty of good ones will come.
    Gay: is it harder to get inside the ring or to give the knee?
    Cotto: Give the knee. Loosing sucks but I want to live.
    Gay:Do you care that people are criticising you for taking that knee?
    Cotto: I was %100 percent prepared margarito was the better man that night

    Gay guy: people said you were going out and drinking is that true?
    Cotto: Yes I do go out frequently but in my vacations time only Im very responsible with that.
    Gay: what will you change now?
    Cotto:This isnt finished im 27 im gonna take a long break and ill see what happens. But there will be no changes in my corner, this wasnt one persons fault it was the whole groups mistake.

    The translation wasn't exact but most was correct. He didn't say beating and he didn't say he quit.

    By listening to this interview with Cotto I feel like he hasnt completely healed phsycologically. When the "gay guy" asked him "so how do u feel"? Sounds like Cotto responded "I feel fine a bit...then quickly changed it to "I am completely recuperated.........Cotto is a class act and surely will make a succesfull return to boxing, his next fight will be very interesting to watch

    I think this goes to show that this kid wasn't beat up physically very bad at all. Mentally he folded up.
