Cotto-Clottey: Who won?

[Khalid X]

it was a close fight, but clottey got knocked down and he lost the 12th.

I don't think clottey got robbed.

I had clottey winning going into the eleventh round by a point. No matter what I think every one would agree it was either an even fight or clottey or cotto by 1 point prior to the 11th.

The real question is who won the championship rounds which were the 11th & 12th.

I had cotto taken the 11th because while they both landed the same amount, I felt cotto was the aggressor.

The 12th round cotto easily won because that was a bull**** round by clottey and he knows it. the guy did everything in his power to not fight and coast through the round

In the end it was 114-113 for Cotto on my card. Clottey gave that the last two rounds away.

Also I think judges should be held accountable by some type of sancioning body and scores like the two we say tonight should get them either banned or suspended from scoring boxing matches.

I look at it this way. Clottey has no one to blame but himself. He should have been more offensive-minded and thrown more punches. How many times did he have Cotto against the ropes and Cotto got the first punch off? How many times did he hit Cotto and back off instead of continuing the assault? He knew what he was up against with Cotto basically fighting in his second home. He knew he had to be really impressive to win a decision and on top of that he had a slightly handicapped fighter in front of him. Where were the right hand leads and why didn't he even attempt to go to the body since he felt that Cotto was running? Bottom line it was a close fight and in the 12th with the fight on the table he did jack squat. He deserves what he got.

[P4P Opinion]

I had Cotto by a single round. 114-113 - same score as Lederman, although I got there a different way.

It was a very, very close fight, but I felt Clottey threw it away with his performance in the final three rounds. He barely threw any punches, yet he didn't seem fatigued. Cotto was still there for the taking with right hands and Clottey didn't take the advantage.

I thought both the Judges who scored for Cotto were way out and must have been swayed by the Rican crowd.

I was impressed with the way Cotto dealt with the cut, but I wasn't that impressed by the performance as a whole. The jury is still out on whether he can get back to the very top again.

Very close fight though.

This was my exact scorecard.

[Clint650]

pretty mush had it 114-113 for Clottey but i had to factor in the KD and the fact that Cotto was handicapped from rd 4 on so i definately need to rescore this one,

props to both fighters.

[The Scientist]

114-113 Cotto. KD in the first round being Cotto's saving grace.

[Pollo Boricua]

I saw it 114-113 for Cotto, but it definetly was a very very close fight and I have respect for both warriors.

Man I thought CLottey was gonna stop him....SMFH.....Clottey is one lazy mutha****a dog...He could've , Should've but he didn't....Miguel Cotto earned that ****..he outworked him and he won the last round. The knockdown, workrate, and last rlound won him the fight...Clottey gave away the last round, and could've won if he would've just thrown more punches, he was thinking so defensively that he lost...when he fought Judah, Judah was winning til it was stopped due to the cut. Why, workrate...he gets lazy. Either way it was close but Miguel earned it.

Now it's gonna be Cotto vs Pacquaio because Bob arum wont wanna give Floyd 60/40 and Floyd ain't taking 40 or 50 50...I expect Cotto to beat Pacman and it be Cotto vs Mayweather.

As for CLottey...Mosley, Berto, or MArgarito.
