This is sad....

He did deserve to get beat down for taking this fight. But so does Cotto, this fight should not have happened. I'll give Miguel a benefit of a doubt for now. Seems like this was a stay-busy-fight for him. Hope he fight Margo next and then PBF. He wins with Margo but Floyd will have his way with Cotto.

 

Thus the key words, "that long".

I think Gomez's corner knew damn well by the end of the 2nd that the fight was pretty much over. They should be grateful Cotto took it easy on him in that last round. Miguel could've ruined him.

As for the fight itself, I don't have a problem as long as we don't get another stay busy fight right after it. If the fight with Margo does indeed materialize, it's all good in the end. That's going to be a hell of a fight. I know Margo's got an iron chin...but he'll need an iron stomach for that one. :yep

 

Gomez is a good guy and everybody likes him, but we all predicted an early stoppage and had no business with Cotto.

I agree, it became painful to watch right around Round 4, where it was just punishment. Hopefully Gomez walked out with a very good bundle of cash at the very least.
