    I never seen the fight but it showed a clip were Paulie seemed to rock Cotto back on his heels was he stunned and we Know Paulie has feather fists so what does it tell (Im A Cotto fan so im not dissing him so lets have sensible debate please)

    I'd like to know as well. That's probably the only Cotto fight I've missed in quite a few years, and some say that he was only knocked back off balance while others say he was actually hurt. What exactly is the truth? Was he hurt or not?

    This was Cotto's last fight at 140 and imo looked like a zombie at the weigh in. I think he was very weight drained which is why Paulie's punches got Cotto's attention a few times through this fight.

    As mentioned, Cotto was weight-drained, but I don't think he was ever hurt, per se, by Malignaggi's punches. Paulie did catch him with some very fast and flush shots which took Cotto by surprise but I would not say he hurt him.

    Paulie never hurt Cotto, but he damn sure got his attention a few times! Plus, it was a great fight; very entertaining

    I've seen the fight 5 or 6 times and other than being off balance once, I never saw him hurt.

    Nah. They bumped knees and Cotto lost his balance right as Paulie landed a right hand.

    This reminds me of the Hatton fans claiming Hatton almost knocked Floyd down in the 1st when Floyd tripped over Ricky's right foot.
