Exactly, CC.. I thought Shane won that fight. He definetly took Cotto to a place he'd never been, and basically was the first opponent who was able to stand up to his attack and impose his will upon Cotto. By the end of that fight, he was the clear agressor, had better ring generalship, although it was close as far as clean punches. It just left me with the feeling that if the fight had gone much longer Shane would have really started to dominate, and over the second half of the fight it was evident that if anyone was getting stopped or KO'ed, it was Cotto. Great fight overall, I thought Mosley could have probably let his hands go and pressed the issue more in the late rounds, but I still thought he did just enough.
