Miguel Cotto vs. DeMarcus Corley

Miguel Cotto vs. DeMarcus Corley was a professional boxing match contested on February 26, 2005, for the WBO junior welterweight championship.

The then recently inaugurated Tren Urbano had to be specially enabled for this fight, as fans had overcrowded the parking area with their cars the last time Cotto had a fight in Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican tourism department saw this event as a perfect occasion to demonstrate the new railway's conveniences to fans across the island.

It was a somewhat unusual move by the referee: usually they give boxers a number of warnings before actually deducting a point for illegal fighting tactics.

The third knockdown, however, would become the subject of a small controversy, as, instead of counting on Corley, Quinones Falu decided to stop the fight at that moment, giving Cotto the victory by a fifth-round technical knockout.

HBO's instant replays showed that none of the punches that Cotto threw before Corley decided to take a knee had actually landed.

Soon after the fight was stopped, HBO analyzers were quick to signal the result as a "hometown stoppage", especially Larry Merchant.
