Mexican press Cotto/Canelo round by round

LASVEGAS, Nevada, 21 November.- Judges defeated Miguel Cotto and they gifted the middleweight championship of the World Boxing Council to Mexico's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. Cotto, at 35 years old, surprised "Canelo" - 25 years old- who could never decipher the Puerto Rican strategy. The fight reached the 12 rounds the judges decided the robbery after scoring his 117-111, 119-109 and 118-110 all in favor of Alvarez cards. We hope the World Boxing Council, which a few days ago unrecognized Miguel Cotto as their champion, has a say and unrecognized the result of the fight. COTTO CAME WITH EVERYTHING Both fighters refused to a "study round" and launched some of tehir repertoire to show what they brought to the fight. Cotto began an offensive and was the one who hit the best shots, even putting Canelo on the ropes. For the second round, the cries of "Canelo", "Canelo" did not wait at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Again Puerto Rican boxer took the scores. Cotto applies extraordinary left-handed jabs, Alvarez cornered the Puerto Rican and applies left-right combination. Again "Canelo" fails another pair of hooks. Round to Cotto! Miguel surprised everyone looked much better and more accurate in every one of his combinations. The third round of new features was faster and hit better. A "Canelo" who could only connect with a right to the face, but it didn't faze the Puerto Rican boxer. The 35-year-old do not weigh down on Miguel Cotto, who was hitting and scoring points. For the fourth round "Canelo" began to awaken and though he had left the initiative to his opponent, he seems to be acknowledge that he needed to punch in order to win. In the fifth stroke "Canelo" and he had damaged his right cheekbone by the punishment of the veteran fighter. Cotto speed is higher, the Puerto Rican complains about a low blow. Both exchanged in short, Cotto takes the best part to punish the challenger soft areas. A left leg shook the Tricolor. BORICUA DOMAIN Halfway through the race agreed twelve rounds, "Canelo" was lost in the fight and seemed that the strategy was better. Miguel applies right-left combination and set back to "Canelo". Mexico already swollen right cheek. Another lethal combination falls squarely in the face Guadalajara. "Canelo" AWAKENS Saul Alvarez went all and applied couple of jabs that almost knockdown the Puerto Rican. People in the Mandalay bay rises from their seats and shout Mexico, México¡ It wakes up Canelo. Alvarez forgives his opponent and lets him breathe. Cotto recovers and applies few jabs. The ninth was also for Guadalajara. "Canelo" applied couple of left hooks filled with chloroform, the Puerto Rican does not fall. Another pair of Mexican impacts puts Cotto into trouble, but supports the punishment. For the tenth round it was demonstrated that the Mexican has no corner and Reynoso brothers don't know what not to say. In round eleven Miguel showed more hunger than Saul, and took the scores. Already in the last round Saul wanted to respond, but it was not enough and once again he dissapoints. And the judges had the final say. Robbery in Las Vegas.
