Did anyone see the Cotto vs Pacquiao fight?

If you didn't here is the basics caution SPOILER

first couple of rounds, actual viable boxing match where Cotto and Pacquiao were in a somewhat even match, though Pacquiao was getting the better of it.

Next couple of rounds, Cotto was basically a moving punching bag for Pacquiao

Last round, same as the other rounds, except the ref stupidly stopped the fight instead of giving Cotto the dignaty of going the full 12 rounds. Real shame that Cotto has that KO on his record now, because he should of been allowed to go the full 12 rounds.

All the props in the world to the top pound for pound boxer in the world.

Ok, first of all, they protect their fighter. I am all about Pacquiao, but if the fighter cannot intelligently defend themselves, they risk brain damage, etc... In which the fight will be stopped. It isn't UFC. That's how things are done, and it protects the dignity of the fighter rather than him saying "I want to quit". Now him running away, was a natural instinct I believe, as he knew he had the power to knock Pacquiao to the mat, however, there was not an opportunity. So his instincts told him to move, as in his mind, he felt it was possible. Manny Pacquiao now holds 7 title belts, which is obvious that he is going into the hall of fame, as many opponents he defeated were/are nominated for the hall of fame. To Manny Pacquiao: Ang galing mo!
