The fight ends like Cotto's other losses. Him quitting at the end.

He's lost two fights. One to a cheater, where he was smart enough to take a knee and avoid getting pummeled by plaster casts... and another where the REF stopped the fight. But what the hell am I doing even acknowledging your stupidity in this forum? You sure that baseball bat didn't actually hit you on the head?
This fight isn't going the distance, one way or another.. Cotto might quit on his knees again..
Contrary to popular belief? Nobody ever said floyd is a big puncher but one doesnt need to be a big puncher to score KOs..
Floyd's power comes from speed, timing, precision and punch placement which is more than enough to create knockouts.
punching power comes in many forms..
The ref stopping the fight was really just a technicality. Cotto had already quit a couple of rounds earlier. It's easy to tell when he's checked out of a fight. He starts backing up in a circular motion with his hands at his waist and tries to avoid punches by moving his upper body. Not that it ever helps. Cotto is one of the few fighters who can go into survival mode and still takes as much punishment if not more than when he's not in survival mode
Wow... all this wisdom gathered from watching a boxer with two WHOLE defeats in his career. And one to a plaster-gloved cheater. Amazing. I know you're hell-bent on declaring Cotto a "quitter" in your inmense boxing wisdom... but you (and your groupies) are in a distinct minority. Fact of the matter is... fighters go into "survival mode", as you put it, sometimes while they gather their wits and are coming up with a new game plan. And how a fighter goes into that mode varies from fighter to fighter. Unlike you'd have us all believe, not all fighters throw caution to the wind and let the chips fall where they may. Some clinch... some sway... some back up more... some resort to fouling. Part of boxing, my thuggish friend.
But what the hell. You're mind is made up... and so are the minds of the groupies that worship the ground you walk on.

Cotto isn't a quitter.
Anyone that is a quitter would have taken the easy out in the Clottey fight. Cotto dropped Clottey from a jab in round 1. Accidental butt, he had opportunity anytime after the 4th to complain about the cut and let it go to the scorecards which would have had him ahead. But he didn't.
