I agree 100%
A Middleweight fighting for a 140 lb Belt, its a disgrace and its killing boxing. Bad night for the guy we all saw as a future real world champion. In front of a hometown crowd and ref, who i thought was a disgrace. It was lucky for Cotto he was not in with a guy who knew how to finish a man when hurt. He best stay away from Tszyu, and i bet Ricky Hatton is smiling after this farce and starting to fancy his chances even more.
They desperately need to bring back the same day weigh in to put on competitive fights,because right now there digging a grave for the fight game.
