I got Canelo by 2 rounds. Cotto did not do enough. You can't win a fight with just jabs.
It was a good fight but you could just feel the bias from HBO and the fix was on any how.
Fair post.

I had it for canelo could see 117-111 but more like 116-112, he made cotto miss a lot of shots and countered effectively with the more telling shots. He slipped, bobbed and weaved a lot of shots which impressed me whilst maintaining his distance.
Canelo won.
Cotto today fans are like Pac fans after the Floyd fight. Just blatantly refusing to accept their guy lost.
Cotto was just too small, Canelo is clearly a MW and looked a whole weight division bigger than him at last.
The score cards were too wide though, especially that last one. It must have been filled in before the fight started. Proof that Roc Nation has no power in boxing.
Fight wasnt close. Canelo put a beating on this man and made him gunshy. Everything Cotto landed was partially blocked, rolled with and countered with the exception of like 4 shots.
i had cotto winning 2 rounds, 3 if im being generous. I just dont see what you cotto fans see.
Link the gifs where cotto landed please. Im genuinely interested
Close but clear Canelo win. 7-5
Scorecards were bs
Imo the powers-that-be had an axe to grind
against the insolent rican who didn't pay his fees.
Canelo clearly won.
but even if he didn't, they were going to shaft Cotto
People acting like it was a whipe out. Ya need to get educated on scoring.
8-4 Canelo with like 3 close swing round that you could've scored 7-5 cotto or even a draw or 7-5 canelo
Canelo made it look real easy.
116-112 Canelo.
Also, I'll give props to Cotto. Fighter a younger, heavier (by around 15 pounds), taller, longer reach opponent is respectable. Coming in he had to have known he was not the favorite.
This shouldn't even be controversial other than the two retarded judges' lopsided scores. Cotto easily won more than two rounds.
Canelo started strong and landed the better punches that clearly effected Cotto. Cotto looked pretty good himself and landed a lot of shots to keep it close and stole some of the later rounds.
I had it 116-112 Canelo.
Canelo, there's no disputing that the right guy got the decision, the scorecards were just a little wide is all, not a robbery by any stretch of imagination though.
I had it 9-3 or 8-4, can't remember which rounds I gave who, I just remember watching it thinking that Cotto won 3-4 rounds. Cotto made a lot of rounds competitive and in terms of punches landed it didn't look like there was a lot in it, but Canelo was just bigger and sharper and it was noticeable in the exchanges, when Canelo landed it was eye catching, so he managed to take the rounds because of that.
That's why I'm curious on how Canelo fares at 160, when hes not able to bully his opponents as much it will be interesting to see how he and his team switches his tactics, hes definitely improved since Mayweather though, I think that loss may have helped him.
I had it 116-112 for Canelo.
To me it seems that Cotto was doing his best Mayweather impression to try and outpoint Canelo and it simply didn't work because, well.... Cotto is not as good as Mayweather.
BUT, it was definitely a competitive fight though nonetheless nothing the way the judges made it out to be needless to say...

8-4 Canelo with like 3 close swing round that you could've scored 7-5 cotto or even a draw or 7-5 canelo
