-England vs Puerto Rico, here's one you don't see too often. The pro-Puerto Rican crowd in the Garden almost totally drowned away the English soccer medleys so often heard at English events.

 

-Jennings is quick. Miguel stalks. Though Cotto didn't do much in the 1st round he seems to be breathing a bit heavy in the corner afterwards.

 

-Cotto begins to find the range with his jab on the ever-moving Jennings in the 2nd. :10 left in round 2 Cotto traps Jennings on the ropes and digs rib shots.

 

-Cotto has trouble getting close to Jennings early in the 3rd and misses plenty. Jennings hasn't slowed Cotto's aggression down any up to this point. Cotto gets closer, lands more in 3rd round. A hard stiff straight left snaps Jennings head back to close round 3, Cotto's best round yet. Jennings is falling about 3 inches short with his right hands. Left hook lands by Cotto that rocks Jennings - he stumbles to a corner and goes down.  :37 seconds left and he's reeling.  He stumbles to another corner and goes down again, :13 and Cotto pummels him.  Saved by the bell.

 

-Round 5 and Jennings legs look shaky.  He doesn't move as swiftly. Jennings doesn't "slip" punches, he knocks them all down or moves away. Jennings lands a hard right on Cotto.  Cotto persists. :33 Jennings is down again in a corner he reeled to from another barrage and this time he doesn't beat the count.
