Today in 2007, Miguel Cotto retained the WBA welterweight belt by TKO in 11 rounds over Oktay Urkal. Despite clearly being on the tail end of his career, Urkal still presented a tough challenge for Cotto, as he constantly jabbed and offered up right hands while Cotto found it difficult to mount a serious offense. Getting rough inside, Urkal hurt his case in Cottos home territory of Puerto Rico by using his head a lot, and he was deducted a point in round 7 for using his head. Again in round 11, Urkal lost a point, which caused his trainer Ulli Wegner to throw in the towel, citing what he felt was unfair officiating.
