Coliseo Roberto Clemente, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The big "Wild Bull of the Pampas" is down in the 1st round from a thudding body shot and Cotto takes the round, 20-1. Firpo comes back in the 2nd and lands a right cross that has Cotto hurt, 16-4, Firpo in the 2nd. The big Argentinian's height and length seem to be causing Cotto problems, 11-10, Firpo in the 3rd. 13-9, Firpo in the 4th. Cotto gets inside of Firpo's reach and lands some nice body shots, 16-3, Cotto in the 5th.
