Miguel Cotto used a furious start to win the WBC middleweight championship as title-holder Sergio Martinez of Argentina surrendered the crown when he did not answer the bell for the 10th round. Cotto, with a ferocious left hook and punishing combinations, knocked Martinez down three times in the first round, and continued the dominate the scheduled 12-round bout at Madison Square Garden. Martinez’s corner waved an end to the fight as the bell rang for round 10. With the win, Cotto became the first Puerto Rican ever to win titles in four different weight divisions after previously holding the junior welterweight, welterweight, and super welterweight crowns. -- Mornings @ ANC, June 9, 2014.
