IF you avoiding a punch you can bend as low as you want.
I agree however that Cortez was breaking them up to quickly when Hatton had Mayweather on the ropes, however IMO that was more to Hatton's advantage because Mayweather was kicking his ass off the ropes. Why should Mayweather be criticized when guys like Evander Holyfield, Bernard Hopkins both lead in with their heads their whole career. I mean Holyfield deserved to get his ear bit IMO he was clashing heads with Tyson on purpose and thats bs. Same with all the shit Hopkins does, but thats why the pros is different from the amateurs. Watch Pep vs Saddler, watch many of the old school fighters and you will see they were cheap as hell.
Also why are you guys still complaining about Mayweather and fighting a true welterweight, who would beat him ? Margarito? Williams? give me a fucking break they couldn't hit him if he had his hands tied behind his back at this point. Cotto has a chance, but its a very slim because Mayweather is so good. That being said Cotto is known for throwing plenty of low blows when the going gets tough, and he throws more kidney shots than anyone, though I love it.
