Cotto's mistake was thinking he was onto to something with this new backfoot thing and it failed him. He needs to keep Tony from punching by punching more and not moving back ever. He can and will do this.
It isn't new at all.

Go back and watch the Cotto/Ceballos fight and Cotto basicly faught Ceballos the same way. Not with all his might that he used against Tony though. I am sure they will find another game plan and maybe stay in the pocket more and clintch before Tony can get off any shots. Cotto tried it the tough man way and It failed, I am sure he will find a smarter way even if it means having to hug Tony for the last few rounds or running like Sugar Ray Leonard did against Duran II If running and hugging all night is good enough for the so called pound for pound king, then it should be ok for a limited fighter such as Miguel Cotto
