    A little insight on the fight. Imported off of HBO.

    In a junior welterweight face-off, undefeated Miguel Cotto (25-0, 21 KOs) takes on top-ranked Gianluca Branco (36-1-1, 19 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round bout. Considered by many to be the biggest boxing sensation to emerge from Puerto Rico since Tito Trinidad, Cotto is taking the sport by storm. His victory streak includes 2005 KO wins over DeMarcus Corley, Mohamad Abdulaev and Ricardo Torres.
    Branco, who suffered his only loss in a hard-fought 12-round battle against Arturo Gatti in 2004, is on a four-fight winning streak. He looks to spoil Cotto's perfect record and capture a title.

    This fight is getting ready to start. I dont think this will last the full 12 rounds. Cotto should KO this guy around the 6th.

    Cotto was shutting Branco out on the score cards, and the Ref. stopped the fight in the 8th round. Seems Branco has a injured right shoulder/arm. Hell his jaw looked broken on the right side as well.
