It also depends on what type of fighter or what the fighter is trying to achieve. If a guy is boxing then he may be punching to score points and win rounds, some guys throw punches to cause damage to wear a guy out, ideally you want to be doing both but that is a different argument. If there is a round where both guys land exactly the same or a similar amount of punches then of course the guy who landed the 'cleaner' higher quality punches, and damage may come into that will get the round.

Originally posted by JmH Reborn View PostI think Canelo won - but those score cards were filled out before the fight started.
I had it 7-5 - when Cotto was on the toes, Canelo landed nothing. Most of the fight he landed 1-2 big punches a round. The compubox numbers seemed off. Cotto was landing 8-10 jabs a round plus the body work.
No matter what Cotto did, he was going to lose the fight. He was too old, too small, gave up nearly 20lbs and Golden Boy certainly had everything in his favor.
In time, this fight will look favorably for Cotto despite the L. He stayed in the trenches and fought him and stood his ground and when he stayed on his toes, Canelo could do nothing.
Lets be honest - if that was Floyd in there, he would have gotten a much more benefit of the doubt than Cotto did. We all knew what would be the outcome...once Canelo got that scorecard against Floyd, the establishment were going to pull any strings to ensure he wins.
I don't mind Cotto losing, because although he's my favorite fighter, he's leaving the sport on a high note I believe, not getting KTFO, quitting on the stool and standing his ground against the sport's new golden child. He represented Puerto Rico proudly.
And can we please stop talking about his chin - his beard might be the most underrated aspect of his game
**** Cotto.

Then he gets his azz thoroughly beat and leaves again without giving an interview. Did he even do the post fight press conference?
**** Cotto.

Interesting, I watched the boxnation one, maybe thats why I was worried canelo was going to loose and thought that he would. I didnt track rounds but thought cotto had a big lead before the 8th round. I think boxnation wasnt trying to favor cotto in their broadcast but it ends up that way because dont even have a spanish translator for canelo's corner inbetween rounds. IDK why theyre so cheap, its one of the most common languages in the world, Im sure they can find a guy named pedro who will do it for them for a 6 pack.

Thought he was being slick by giving up the belt he supposedly doesn't care for, then gets his azz beat for 12 rounds and walks out like a broner. I can't respect fighters who don't respect their opponents or the fans who pay for their lifestyle. You're a worthless stan if you support poor sportsmanship from a b1tch like that. Its pretty much every time he loses too. Why should he get a pass when its customary to give a post fight interview?
