I was disappointed with Cotto's trainer.

Yeah, letting the fight continue after the 9th is foolish on the part of Cotto's corner. Showed a lot of the inexperience that Roach has been ponting out prior to the fight.

Foolish, as there was a situation from the previous night (Z Gorres), resulting in a fighter being severely damaged from head trauma in a fight less brutal in nature than the one stated above.

As if this trauma case of Friday night can serve a lesson in handling future matters such as these beatings atop the ring, it still failed, as amature night in Cotto's camp, particularly with the head trainer, was in full display.

I agree it should have been stopped after the 9th, you could see he wasn't going to win on points and didn't show any signs of having the power left to deliver a KO. That said he wasn't too bad in the 10th and 11th but that is what Cotto will use as an argument to justify his wanting to go on.

His trainer was a shocker, he just didn't know what instructions to give Cotto, again however although he wasn't a fighter himself that doesn't really go for too much, some great trainers were either never fighters themselves or not very good. They did however spend about every waking moment in the gym and it's in their blood.

Cotto has plenty left I believe, he just needs as stated to work on boxing more, listen to others and employ the right people in his team . he was working well off the jab but just seemed to get drawn into a brawl to show how macho he is. Sometimes a corner can't control a fighter , I mean look at Hatton, all those great new ideas he spoke of and he just wades in, Ali trains for speed and footwork and lies on the ropes ! for some it works I guess.

He should have at least stopped it in the 12th, Cotto didnt even know he had to come out for another round and thought he was done.

A small detail, but a huge danger sign for a boxer in action that went unnoticed by a novice cornerman.

Felix Trinidad Sr. apparently did not appreciate Santiago's "training"....

Although I don't agree with the part about Cotto needing to stay with Evangilista, sure he was a good trainer and they had a good run together but in the Margarito fight Evangilista really dropped the ball!

I'm not sure who the old guy was in Cotto's corner but when he told him "we are here for you" man that was some emotional shit. Only in boxing
