Cotto steamrolled Paulie without knocking him out. I mean, a broken jaw, cheekbone, and nose? Paulie lasted because he did something no other opponent has done against Cotto: hold. The only thing Paulie did well was jab and throw quick pitty-pat combinations, yet they were NOT effective. The rest of the time Paulie held. In fact, Cotto had a more accurate and effective jab, while Paulie had an "active" jab. Cotto's jab is deadly, but it disappeared in the middle rounds. Also, Cotto scored a lot of points while Paulie was holding. Paulie absorbed a lot of body shots in those holding sessions. Cotto even looked a lot like Hatton and Tszyu on the inside, except better all around. His double left was a thing of beauty and caught Paulie on numerous occasions. The last two rounds, the championship rounds, Cotto came through and showed once again that when the pressure is on, he produces!! Now that Cotto has fought practically all the styles out there, after fighting in the olympics, and after an extensive amateur career, one that has earned him the title of Puerto Rico's best amateur ever, it is time he fights one of the big boys. It seems like it will be Castillo. Cotto is ready !!
