Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York - WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33KOs) retained his title for the first time with a fourth round stoppage of Daniel Geale (31-3, 16KOs), who reportedly was 182-pounds by the time he entered the ring after weighing 157-pounds at Friday's weighin.
Cotto was outboxing Geale from the outside and landing the more telling blows from the opening bell to sound round one. As promised, Cotto was targeting the body and landing good hooks to the head. Cotto continued his pattern of dominance in the second and started mixing up his shots with a jab to the body to keep Geale back at a distance. Geale would land an occasional good right hand, but Cotto was outpunching and outworking him.
