Alfonso Gomez showed an incredible amount of toughness and courage Saturday night against Miguel Cotto; possibly too much courage. From the very beginning of the fight it was evident that Gomez was completely outclassed. Cotto felt Gomez's power and it was obvious that he did not feel that Gomez could hurt him because the entire night he boxed almost arrogantly. One of the commenters stated that it looked as though Cotto was in a sparring session, because Cotto was simply picking apart his opponent. Gomez was getting beaten up so bad that before the start of the sixth round the ring docter called the fight, giving Cotto the victory.
What's next for the sensational Puerto Rican boxer? Well this summer he is on a collision course with the other fighter that won Saturday night, Antonio Margarito. The fight would pair two extremely aggresive fighters that pack a lot of power, and would undoubtedly be a highly entertaining fight. Perhaps if Cotto were to win that fight then finally we would get a Cotto-Mayweather fight that we've all been waiting for.
