Cotto was able to trap Floyd
against the ropes much of the fight and dig to the body, and eventually that opened up hard shots to the head that did draw blood from the nose of «Money.»
Instead, he figured out the best strategy was to lay back
against the
ropes, lean back as far as he could, cover his face with his gloves and as
much of his body as he could with his arms and let Foreman pound at him.
