Mayorga vs. Rubio

[DavilaJones]

By the way, why was he holding up his glove when Cotto threw that perfect check hook to KO him? I kept seeing him hold out his glove. He didn't even deflect the punch so it could not have been broken. It was a very strange sight for a guy to fight with such bravery and all of a sudden to do that.

Mayorga never does anything by the book. Remember he offered his chin to Tito, one of the hardest punchers of our generation, and nearly got knocked out.

Yes quitting in the 12th against Cotto due to being exhausted and hurt was heart breaking to watch as a huge Mayorga fan. He had fought such a good fight up til that point, I hoped he could least go the distance.
