PRBF Title Fight - Hiram Bithorn Stadium, San Juan, Puerto Rico

[PRBF Champion] John Ruiz, Puerto Rico, 18-6-1 (18) vs [PRBF#1] Miguel Cotto, Puerto Rico, 10-1-0 (10)

A boisterous and emotional crowd has this stadium at decibels so high that I cannot hear myself speak! Miguel Cotto seems to be the fan favorite because of his punishing style. Cotto quietly goes about his business outside of the ring but unleashes punches with bad intentions inside of the ring, specifically a left hook to the body that often finds the mark. The champion, John Ruiz, has been waiting for this fight for a long time now and believes that Cotto is over-hyped and has come too far, too fast. Ruiz believes that Cotto doesnt belong in the same ring with him and aims to prove it here tonight. Cotto comes out like a charging bull that sees red and clobbers the champion with hard blows from both hands. Ruiz manages to clinch and holds on to survive the onslaught in the 1st round, 21-4. Ruiz regains his composure and is able to open up in the 2nd round, 19-10. Ruiz wins the exchanges, 11-8, in the 3rd round. Cotto commands the 4th, 23-4, as Ruiz's left eye begins to swell. The challenger works Ruiz's bad eye, 20-3, in the 5th. Another big round for Cotto, 23-6, in the 6th. 21-11, Cotto in the 7th. Ruiz's left eye looks bad entering the 8th. 22-2, Cotto, in command of the fight in the 8th. Ruiz is having serious problems in the 9th, 22-0, Cotto. An uppercut puts the champion down at the end of the 10th! Ruiz walks into the left hook and goes down for the 2nd time in this fight. Ruiz is trying to press the action because he is worried that the fight could be stopped due to his left eye. But Ruiz is being man-handled, and goes down again in the 13th. All Cotto has to do is stay away and he has this fight won. Ruiz will just not go away. We enter the last round. Ruiz needs a knockout to win. Cotto keeps Ruiz on the outside and the final bell rings!
