WHOA.
Everytime I think about this fight I remember how much money I could've made out of it.

See I'm originally from the metropolitan area or north east reagion of the island, close to San Juan and also to Caguas which is Cotto's hometown. So I knew all about Cotto and been following him for a while.

Then I move to the west side of the island near Moca, which is where Quintana is from. And EVERYBODY in town knew, I mean they were dead certain that Quintana would beat up Cotto. They were putting all kinds of money on the line, I'm talking thousands of dollars on Quintana. I was looking at all thes people like..." you are kidding right? Cotto's gonna kill this kid" But I didn't have much money and I was never a gambler so I missed out. A buddy of mine did make $2500 though....
