I dont like this fight.... once cotto was sicked on gomez, its hard to watch such a ruthless, one sided beating with the guy having NO shot but wanting it that bad.... i dont like this at all.
I said the moment this fight was made that an early stoppage is in Gomez's best interest because the longer he lasts the more years will be taken off his career. I don't like being right when it comes to this but the writing was on the wall. Gomez had absolutely no chance of winning this fight and his career was drastically shortened tonight. He'll never be the same again. Larry Merchant once made a quote in which he referred to Henry Tillman as "a frog being fed to a snake" when he faced off with Mike Tyson. He could have dusted that quote off and used it again tonight.
It looked like Cotto was sparring the whole fight.. Gomez' defense sucked.. his stanced sucked.. he got beat badly.. Gomez tried to give all his heart but he couldnt do nothing.. Cotto was impressive.. Surprised they didnt stop the fight sooner
WTF was Gomez's corner thinking? The dude didn't deserve to get beat down that long. Cotto would've killed him by the time they actually threw the towel in.
It was actually pretty cool to see a cocky side of Miguel Cotto. I'm not surprised to see it now since he's beaten Mosley. The ring is Cotto's home and he knows he's a badass. Might as well show it.
Cotto showed his softer side that last round, he didn't want to hurt Gomez badly. Honestly, a very classy move. He could of just destroyed him, and he knew it.
