The score cards at the end of this fight read 115-113 two judges had it for Cotto and 116-113 all in favor for Cotto, but when I tell you the scores didn’t tell the story of this epic fight it will not be a lie.

This fight was labeled Fast and Furious and the first 5 rounds that’s what it was both fighters were trading blows in the middle of the ring sending the MSG crowd in a frenzy.  The 6th round it seemed the younger and stronger Cotto started to charge of the fight with more sharper punches and beating Mosley to the punch.  Cotto had this fight all under his control then in the 9th round Mosley showing that great vetern heart hit Cotto with and over hand right and Cotto looked to be in trouble.  Mosley had to change his style up a bit and stop going toe to toe with Cotto started to stick and move and started catching Cotto and even stun him a few time, but the younger Cotto was able to handle the offense of his oppenet and he slugged his way to a victory.  Cotto is now 31-0-25 K0’s Mosley dropped to 44-5-37 K0’s hinted this might be his last fight and wants to get into training young fighters.  If this was his last fight Mosley can walk away with his head held high because he represented himself as a true champion inside and outside of the ring.
