San Francisco (GaeaTimes.com) The Yankee Stadium has seen a match in over 30 years when Miguel Cotto and Yuri Foreman fought tonight amongst lively crowd. Cotto was the most favorite among the crowd though Foreman also had some supporters for himself. As Foreman entered he had to endure some boo’s which clearly showed that Cotto’s supporters clearly outnumbered Foreman’s. The fate of the game seemed to be decided at that moment and it came out with Cotto winning by TKO in Round 9.

In the third round a cut opened up above Foreman’s eye and it did not seem to bode well for him. In the fourth round Foreman started mounting an offense at Cotto’s bloodying face. Cotto came back and dominated the second half of the round. The fifth round was another close round. Cotto seemed to be punching harder in that round and in the seventh round Foreman slipped and fell which seemed like a knee injury. He kept fighting but he fell again. Withstanding the trouble staying on his feet Foreman kept fighting. Cotto kept his advantage and landed a nice uppercut. Foreman still continued which showed his great stamina. Though Foreman could not do any footwork and falling down again and again, the ref did not allow the fight to end. He cleared the ring and continued the fight as Foreman insisted not to quit. The fight restarted and the round went to Cotto. At the beginning of the ninth round, Cotto threw a right and a left body shot which put Foreman on one knee. The fight was stopped and ruled a TKO by Cotto at ninth round.
