Cotto knocks out Geale
Print Edition
PUERTO Rican champion Miguel Cotto dominated from the opening bell to retain his World Boxing Council middleweight world title with a crushing victory over Australia’s Daniel Geale on Saturday.
Cotto knocked down Geale twice in the fourth round before referee Harvey Dock stopped the bout at 1:28 of the fourth in front of a frenzied crowd of 12,100 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 34-year-old Cotto improved to 40-4 with 33 knockouts and the win now sets up a likely showdown with Mexico’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, possibly later this year. Alvarez scored a third-round KO of James Kirkland in last month’s super welterweight fight. Geale, 34, fell to 31-4 with 16 KOs. The former world champion suffered a third defeat in his last five fights.
