Like I sid in another thread, boxing needs guys like Larry Hazzard who arent afraid to take action when no one else will. Hopefully We didnt watch years taken off Cottos career last night.....

Cotto fought well, but that was the most arrogant/cocky ive seen him and im not sure thats a good thing. I think his win over Mosley went to his head a little too much.
How does Cotto's corner have anything to do with when a fight gets stopped. If anything, Cotto was merciful when he knocked Gomez down with a jab and didn't really go in for the kill - giving Gomez's corner or the ref a chance to stop it on the stool. Gomez's corner should have stopped the fight the round before. I don't even blame the ref much. It's the job of the corner to protect the fighter.
