    I had it 114-113 for Cotto. Gonna have to watch it again and I could change my mind to giving it to Clottey. Close fight and I thought that 116-111 was ridiculous.

        I had it 114-113 Cotto

        Clottey lost himself the fight in my eyes by doing nothing in the last two rounds. The fight was his to win. All he had to do was finish strong.


        Cotto showed pure grit though fighting on with that nasty cut. I think the fight would have been even more in his favor if not for that cut. The cut bothered him more than Clottey did.

        I think what caused Clottey to stop throwing punches late was because Cotto started catching him big time him in exchanges.

        Cotto gutted it out.

              I gave it to Clottey but it was close. Big mistake on his part to not do anything on the 11th and 12th. Kellerman's right there's no way Cotto, or Clottey, won by 116-111, that's crazy.

              I think the decision was fair because it was a close fight, but I don't like that 116-111, that needs to be checked.

              Would love to see a rematch, but first I think Cotto should get a rematch with Mosley, he deserves it.

                  clottey won that fight. if we are judging according to the rules of course. when you are in madison square garden the rules seem to fly out the window.

                  clottey landed almost all of the clean punches and showed great defense cause cotto couldn't get through his guard all while backing cotto up. effective agression doesn't matter anymore i guess. hit and not be hit doesnt matter anymore i guess. it's all about throwing loads of ineffective punches.

                      THis is how you can tell boxing fans are ******. You get an action/drama packed fight, that is razor thin and one guy obviousl has to win. (Barring a draw.) And people cry robbery, as opposed to manning up and saying, 'Well, close fights go that way some times.'

                      114-113, Cotto.
