If the fight was set on Las Vegas?
- Since MSG is like a hometown advantage for Cotto
If Joe Cortez was the referee?
- Since Cortez is known for instant deduction if fighter hits back of the head, low blows or the wrestling did by Cotto
If they had proper judge like Jerry Roth et al?
- Since the other judge scored "116-111"

I'm not a Cotto hater, I was just not convinced with his win. :D
Clottey would have won if the venue was not PR dominant.
Regardless of the fouls. I wont count them. Shady but not counting them. Cotto would lose because of the criteria of boxing.
Ring Generalship: Clottey
Punches Landed: Clottey
Power Punches Landed: Clottey
Jabs landed: Cotto (55-53 close much?)
Even by round, Clottey won the criteria. His percentage of landed shots was always more than Cotto's. Cotto only put the pressure on Clottey in the 3rd and 5th rounds.
Clottey wins if the fight was ANYWHERE else, except for PR.
