    Cotto had his number from the opening bell and put it on him in the first.

    Gotta give props to Sergio for showing heart and trying to look for something, anything to get him into the fight. Unfortunately for Sergio there was just too much Cotto.

    Dude shouldn't be ashamed. He's 39 years old, has had tons of injuries and has had a stellar career. Nobody can question his heart or his career.

    I hope he hangs up the gloves. He has nothing left to prove and it's obvious father time has caught up with him.

    His heart will always be in the fight, but his body can't be anymore.

    Yes, I think that's something that gets lost in the back and forth in regards to Sergio.

    We want to knock him and say he isn't even that good because he didn't start boxing until later in his life, but in reality, that should never have been a knock because the fact that he could reach the heights that he did despite starting later is pretty admirable and amazing.

    the guy is a definition of an iron-hearted warrior, hands broken multiple times, knees busted up, and still fought one of the best in the world who people gave no chance of winning, wars with Williams, Pavlik, Chavez Jr took a lot out of him
