- W RSF 6 Randall Bailey (2004)
The hard-hitting Bailey was a stiff test for Cotto’s first defence of his WBO world light-welterweight crown, but the Puerto Rican handled him with class. A sharp right sent Bailey to his hands and knees in the second round and the American took a knee in the third after a nasty cut opened under his eye. Eventually, the ringside doctor advised referee Norm Budden to stop the contest due to the excessive bleeding around Bailey’s eyes.
