Miguel 'The Merciful' Cotto.

Miguel showed nothing but MERCI.

Too bad Alfalfa did not have the agallas to come off his stool.

I wonder if Alfonso still thinks Cotto took short cuts?

Don't be harsh on the kid Danny...He went for his...He showed more heart them many of these grunts out there...Just doesn't have the god given tools to get in with that caliber....I thought he would make a decent showing of himself and not be manhandled so easily but what are ya gonna do...

At least he did not cry like a certain former champion named Cintron

No doubt. I'd rather see a kat picked up game and lose than watch a rough cur win. Cintron wouldn't even look up at Tony when he was on the canvas. At least Gomez never quit; his body got owned, but not his mind. Hats off to Gomez for giving it his all.

i would have called time on it after the 4th, no pint letting gomez go out and continue taking punishment. gomez did well against a shot gatti but my goodness cotto took it all out of him. bad call by his corner letting it go beyond the 4th

Gomez has a ton of heart and it wasn't all his fault that the fight got stopped.


I like it when Miguel fights like that, he was slow, deliberate, and effective. When he forces things, that's when he gets hurt.

Okay, I wasn't going to say anything at first, because I didn't want to be critical, but phuck it, after watching the fight for the 3rd time, I'm pissed that Gomez Sr did not stop that fight.

That fight should have been stopped much earlier, probably in the fourth when Alfonso was taking a lot of punishment.

I know he believes in his son, and that Alfonso always says that he would die in the ring if he had to, but phuck that, and phuck pride in this situation. That is your son out there, and is pride worth your sons life, or having him receive any permanent damage? Could Sr live with himself if something terrible happened to Alfonso, and he did nothing to prevent it?

And I couldn't believe when the doctor told his corner that he was stopping the fight, they were saying to give him one more round. What the hell were they thinking?

Can you imagine what damage would have been done if the fight continued? Thank God for that doctor for doing what his father should have done, and that's stopping the fight.

Alfonso is also extremely lucky that Miguel decided to be more of a boxer last night, instead of a brawler, that beating would have been worse if Miguel would have done the seek & destroy like he did against Judah.
