The main reason Tony was able to keep throwing was because he wasn't hurt and that's how Cotto is effective he counters fighters they stop throwing and he then steps on the gas and knocks them out or wears them down to where their offense is ineffective
Its all apples and Oranges,I thought that Cotto's most realistic chance going in the fight at hurting Tony was Miguels killer Body attack....Head shots were secondary but would be tempting.If that was taken away and made ineffective due to Tony's Defense to body,using his rangy arms tucked into sides or the fact that he was putting punches on Cottos own body and squaring Cotto on the ropes.I think his under appreciated Offense was the winning factor....but an awesome chin did not hurt
