Cotto Charges Again

           “This is the biggest achievement I've ever had in my career. Being here, Miguel Cotto, being here at Madison Square Garden, I feel very good. I told you that we had the most beautiful and the most outrageous camp in my career. I have to thank Freddie (Roach) and my group."- Miguel Cotto 

          Indeed, it was such an overwhelming performance by the three time champion challenger Miguel Cotto after scoring what was said as an overwhelming conquer over the champion, the 39- year old Sergio Martinez. Martinez has been knock down twice in his previous fights and successfully stood up then won the fight.

          However on his recent fight against the Puerto Rican superstar fighter, he was outclassed even at the start of the fight in which saw him floored thrice. Thus last Saturday, June 7th, the world saw him clearly outmatched by Miguel Cotto. It was so obvious that the fight was so one sided in favour of the Puerto Rican fighter that Martinez's trainer Pablo Sarmiento gave in the fight by throwing the towel before the start of the tenth round. 

          It was moreover a wise move by the trainer to prevent his fighter from acquiring further punishment. He had his right eye cut and it was severely swelling. The spirit of Martinez to fight was very much on yet the physical power was no longer present. Hence the world witnessed such a display of a boxing showcase by the much heralded and the only four division Puerto Rican champion, Miguel Cotto.
