*In Your Opinion* Was Cotto-Mosley a "hometown" decision?

[cashdon]

Voted No. I thought it was close I would have to watch it again. ThI remember being frustrated at Mosley for not throwing uppercuts which Cotto has always been open for. I thought if he threw some he could have changed the tide of the fight. I thought the ref stopping the fight in round 10 after Mosley hurt Cotto to clean up water was BULL**** at the time. You wait till there is a lull in action to call time. Watch it again, that gave Cotto time to recover. Sometimes you have to watch a fight with your eyes more than your ears. Because HBO commentators will always highlight punches by the guy they are supporting which in this case would have been Cotto. His opponent could hit him with a three punch combo with Cotto throwing a punch and they will mention the punch that Cotto threw even if it was clearly blocked or missed LOL.

I think Cotto won the fight BUT since cotto won that fight then De La Hoya should have won his fight against Trinidad only Cotto was worse he won less rounds then de la hoya but also ran for more rounds then de la hoya..if im not mistaken Mosley was the aggressor for the last 4 rounds and cotto was on his bike that was way worse than DLH-Trinidad and Cotto Still got the decision..Both fights were crazy but i think Cotto edged out Mosley regardless just like DLH should have gotten that win over trinidad..Mosley-Cotto could have been a draw and no one could have complained about it..but good for mosley for not complaining after the fight and taking it like a man although he felt it was closer than what the judges scored it..a rematch would be great

How dare you compare the trinidad fight with the cotto fight?!?!?it was no way near as close as dlh fight.Cotto ran but fought backwards.Dlh??? he didnt fight back while back pedaling so watch the fight again meathead!!!

there's nothing wrong with saying cotto won a close fight but in a place other than NYC the result might have been different... the possibility is still open that the result might be the same. the only way to find out is for cotto to rematch mosley away from NYC.

There would be no difference IMO...Cotto would still be given the win.

I'm basing this off the fight itself, not who had the home court. I could see if the fight was an all out nail biter and you don't know who won. But once that bell rang after the 12th, people know who REALLY won the fight. Even Mosley himself gave the grin and nod for the loss.

Cotto win for sure in my book! Great fight competitive All the way every round but in the end Cotto won a few more rounds for a tough but clear UD IMO

When Cotto started BOXING off the backfoot NOT RUNNING but BOXING he was still landing the cleaner harder shots, Cotto can actually Beat u Up off of the backfoot

I'm Mexican...who do you think I had winning?

You're the exception to the rule. You know this right?

It was a fair timeout..Mosley started moon walking slippin and sliding..so the ref called time to dry that corner up..Cotto was hurt tho..Mosley was just pressing the attack..but stopped when he started to slip and the ref called time..

that's because mosley knew it was a close fight that could go either way, and because mosley is gracious in defeat. Mosley could've went on a rant like Bhop but he didn't.

either way we both agree that the fight has to happen on neutral ground

Thought it was a draw at most, so yeah, a hometown decision...

What did Mosley do in your opinion that gave him a bigger edge than what the judges scored?
