Cotto Suspended for 45 Days Due to Cut

It was reported today that Miguel Cotto was put on a 45 day suspension by the Puerto Rican Boxing Commission due to a cut he suffered this past Saturday when he successfully defended his title against Oktay Urkal. This doesn't effect his June date with Zab Judah at MSG.

cc for the info, I wasnt too worried about the cut affecting the Judah fight, but you never know.

Well it wasn't a deep cut but it was a cut....

The 45 days are just precautionary.....

[The Boxer]

i thought they suspended you for a 100 days for a cut.

i thought they suspended you for a 100 days for a cut.

I believe that it depends on the Boxing commision. The medical suspensions can vary from place to place.

For those of you who said that those head buts weren't intensional

I admit that the last point taken was not necesary but it did compensate for the other 25 ones that it did

didnt look intentional. Looks that just his style to bend into Cotto when he punches caused their heads to clash.

I know you hate on Cotto and love Hatton and Judah but try not to be so delutional.
Let's see if there what neutral fans say.

For the record before you answer I like Hatton and Judah as well.

WOW.

I made this video and you of all people P.G.H Angel Eyes think he was not doing it intentionally? I took all that time to slow it down and yet you still say he was not being intentional? Did you watch Urkals fight against Kosta Tszyu? If you did then you would know that Kosta Tszyu keeps his head up and leans back instead of leaning down and crouched liked Cotto. Guess what? Urkal was still lunging, no not lunging FLYING with his head like a bullet. I found a video game made after Urkal. In Germany he is known as Zonk.

Here is Zonk in action:

the butts were accidental

[cockey cockney]

GOOD news that it wont affect the Judah fight as i gotta feeling its going to be a cracker! I havent seen the whole Cotto fight yet, but those headbutts wherre nasty!

[jbirdy]

there were too many head butts to be accidental. and urkal was even warned about it but carried on. he wasnt going to win the fight any other way.

[boozeboxer]

Zonk was very odd and wierd. I can't believe that was a real game.

[ono]

They sure did look intentional.

But what do you expect. Urkal had no chance in hell of beating Cotto especially in Puerto Rico. He's bound to want any help he can get. And if he can get away with cutting Cotto with a headbutt then thats what he will do. It's just that his style didn't make them look like obvious headbutts....so he got away with more.

To be honest i know i'm going to get flamed for this but Cotto shouldn't be fighting Oktay Urkal. If you fight over the hill limited fighters, you should expect a little bit of experienced naughties. Hatton's had the same problem fighting the same kind of fighters but once you step up the level of the opposition you fight guys who can let their skills do the talking. It's not a rant at Cotto, on paper it looked like a decent keep busy fight but lets just hope the cuts aren't so bad it effects his training for the Judah blow out.

Looks like a couple of those head butts were UNintentional.

Urkal mastered the counterbutt. It is much more efficient than counter punching, and also allows you to keep your guard up and less likely to get hit!!! Masterful.

By the way anyone know what was going on outside the ring in the ninth? The crowd was responding and even Urkal pointed
