just rewatched and did round by round scoring for cotto-clottey

By the way the 4th was close but clear win for Cotto. He just outworked Clottey.

i recommend you watch that 6th round again bro. clottey wasnt hurt in the least COTTO WAS THE ONE THAT WAS HURT when clottey exploded with a combination and cottos knees buckled. watch the fight again Cotto was hit while he was trying to slip. It was a very solid punch, but he went back on the offensive. Clottey on the other hand took a clean left hook early in the 6th round that sent him back to the ropes. It obviously hurt him because he immediately went on the defensive and eventually backed himself into the corner.

i had it 9 rounds to 3 for clottey..my score was 116-110..and i watched this thoroughly..i gave cotto round 1(obviously) round 6 and round 12..something else i would like to point out, i think one of the judges scored the 6th round a 10-8 round for cotto. well i dont see how that is possible because clottey was firing combinations back when he was in the corner..and he was landing flush shots and actually hurt cotto. but i gave that round to cotto for ring generalship and workrate...and i will repeat myself once again I WATCHED EVERY SINGLE ROUND THOROUGHLY!! the story of the fight was cotto throwing shots at clottey's guard and clottey firing back and landing the effective punches. cotto COULD of been given the 11nth round for the two left hooks he landed at the end of the round but i gave it to clottey because he controlled the round and landed more shots than cotto. if you diasagree with me, EXPLAIN why dont just say "your retarded" blah blah..give me a reason why im wrong. I think the reason you scored that fight hte way you did was because you saw it like this http://www.baylinerownersclub.org/albums/album519/head_up_your_ass.jpg

When you have a handicapped man infront of you, and you can't finish the fight, then you should only blame yourself.

I'm one of these people that think this fight was a robbery, not because the victory went to Cotto. But because of the way that the judges had the scorecards in favor of Cotto regardless of who would pull the championship rounds out. And Teddy Atlas made a good point of how Clottey isn't this beast that people make him out to be. He really did himself a disservice in round six and just let Cotto tee off on him. Elite fighters don't go that long without launching some kind of attack. If you want my honest opinion, I don't even think Clottey could beat Pacquiao or Marquez. It might sound crazy to some people, but it really is the truth. If you don't have one punch knockout power, you need to make up for it with volume. And Clottey doesn't do that. And the fact that Cotto went life and death with him, tells me that Cotto's time at the top is coming to a close.

I think I had Clottey winning by 2 points (my opinion). I just thought that after the 1st half of the fight Clottey was more effective. Cotto threw more but Clottey was more precise down the stretch of that fight.

I had almost the same score for Clottey. The Numbers don't lie. He out landed Cotto in just about every round.

listen clottey is one of my favorite fighters BUT i am a hardcore boxing fan who is very objective. this fight was not as close as some people make it out to be, and there was not as many swing rounds as made out either. i recommend watching a HIGH QUALITY version of this fight and score it round by round. and i gurantee you will see what i am talking about I did watch it on high quality several times and let me say it was 6 rds a piece and the the knockdown made the difference...Cotto won and we can argue about this left and right but it's in the books now so it's a mute point. Just like Pacquiao won v Marquez II 6 rounds a piece and the deciding factor was the knockdown Pacquiao scored on Marquez. As far as the books, hell I can argue all day long how Castillo beat Mayweather or Quartey defeated Hoya, or Hoya over Trinidad or Santa over Casamayor, etc, etc, etc, but you know what...it's in the books point blank and simple...so get over it homie and continue your support for boxing cause it's the greatest sport.

you cant score for shit........ HAHA, ok then smart ass. tell me why i am so wrong??? how about you watch the fight and give me your round by round and PROVE me wrong, sorry i dont listen to the bullshit jim lampley was spewing. put the volume on mute and watch the fight and score it, peace

you cant score for shit........

LMAO LAMO LMAO they should have had a shot of Arums hand going in Lampleys pocket and stuffing bills in with the spin doctoring Lampley was doing for Cotto. I love Lampley but he was outright shameless with his babying and excuse making for Cotto. "Great Body Slam By Cotto" or "Cotto accidently hit Clottey on the back of the head in the heat of the moment". Thread starter is right Clottey won that fight by alot and the only reason it wasn't stopped on the cut was because Cotto Arum and even HBO thought he was way behind on the cards, which he should have been. HBO & Top Rank needed Cotto to win that fight to set up a MEGA fight which isn't all that mega. It's a Top Rank card that already has excuses written all over it, no matter who wins it will be drama and finger pointing and bullshit. The Clottey fight was such bullshit because in order for this circus to happen with Pac Vs Cotto when theres no need for that fight at all, Clottey had to fall and he was the perfect guy for it too. They played him and us like fools and tried to use emotional bullshit to sell Cotto as a warrior with courage. they sell us that because the unbeaten skilled fighter shit went out the window awhile ago, he proved against Jennings and Clottey that his skills are almost as overarted as his will and stamina, so now they make him seem like he's here on sheer will alone. 9-3 is reasonable. Exactly, probably the best post ive seen about this fight on this forum PERIOD.. ALSO I WANT TO REPLY TO ANIMALISTIC about cotto winning rounds 10,11,12..clottey clearly won the 10th round 2 left hooks at the end dont make up for 2 minutes and 40 seconds of the round where your getting ripped with combinations..and i just watched the 12th round again and it could of went to clottey because he landed a combination at the end of the round and he was chasing cotto around for most of the round and landing punches. look I AM NOT QUESTIONING COTTOS HEART BUT FIGHTS ARE NOT SCORED ON HEART AND DETERMINATION, SORRY.

116-111 :rofl:

9-3 is way too wide. I might rewatch and rescore it later tonite, but I think I had it 114-113 Cotto.

I thought Clottey clearly won also. I mean it was a close fight, but I think Clottey did more than enough to win that fight. And it was all Arum's fault why he lost it.

I don't see how you could give Clottey 9 rounds...

You scorecards are wrong. It cant be 116-110 if you saw 9-3 for CLOTTEY and you gave first round 10-8 to COTTO. PLS EXPLAIN ME HOW YOU COME UP WITH 116-110 scorecard? i already corrected myself twice in this thread, I MENT TO SAY 116-111

cotto didn't win the fight clottey lost it he was jus to complacent and to trusting of the judges.

clottey won the ****ing fight ...but cotto got the dec thats a;; that maters
