Manny Pacquiao
On November 14th 2009 Manny Pacquiao faced Miguel Cotto for the WBO Welterweight title. Pacquiao defeated Cotto by a twelfth round technical knockout. The loss was just the second in 36 career fights for Cotto.
At the time the fight was called in the final round, Pacquiao was well ahead on the judges scorecards. Adelaide Byrd had Pacquiao ahead 109-99, Duane Ford scored the fight 108-99 and Dave Moretti had it 108-100 in favor of Pacquiao. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?cat=boxer&human_id=6129
Pacquiao knocked Cotto down once in the third round and again in the fourth round. After the fourth round knockdown, Cotto's offense was no longer a factor as he was trying to stay upright and fight off Pacquiao's relentless attack. From the fifth round on until referee Kenny Bayless stopped the fight at the 55 second mark of round twelve, Cotto landed less than 10 power punches per round. http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news?slug=ki-pacmanwins111409&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
With the victory Pacquiao became the first boxer in history to win seven championship titles in seven different weight classes.http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4656400
