    Kellerman, Lampley and Lederman were not all wrong.

    I was at the fight directly behind press row and saw the fight really well. Clottey fought hard and did look good, but personally I think what made him look good and create all this controversy is that he came forward alot and threw many punches, many punches that were glancing but got a punch stat nod.
    The thing that gets me is that many people think they can over turn a decision by voicing a biased one.
    Cotto won and is now moving on to bigger better things. He fought another "most feared fighter", he fought through adversity with a bad cut from round three when he could have bailed early and had an easy win(the round 1 knock down would have assured that) but he fought on like a warrior and again gets crucified for doing the warrior route. A champion finds a way to win and Cotto did.....whether you like it or not. Kellerman, Lampley and Lederman were not all wrong.

    Lampley had Clottey Winning, and I forgot about what Max had scored it..

    But evenb if they had it all for Cotto, will you base that decision off thier scores?

      Men the HBO crew last night was horrible,

      Lampley was looked like a biitch when he almost cry, when Manny said that Cottto ws losing.

      Manny looked like a idiot, when he said COtto was losing tho, because that was the 6 round, and Cotto had 4 out of teh first 6 wth 2 10-8 rounds, no way to be losing at that point.

      And kellerman is a idiot, so no need to explain there!!!!!!!!

        Kellerman= Idiot
        Lampley=Cotto biatch lover
        Steward= The only one who is not an idiot or biased seemed to be favouring Clottey.

          Yeah I was at the fight too I had Cotto winning 114-113 but I gave Clottey the 10th and 11th. Listening to what people have been saying I'll have to look at my DVR recording and rescore it.
          And one of the benefits of going to fights is that you don't have to listen to those three idiots from HBO.

            Just because you write some BS about you being at the fight does'nt mean your going to change anyone's views. It's not like Clottey has some massive fanbase or something. Some people just know the differance between whats right and wrong. Those clowns you just mentioned don't know boxing. Stewart knows boxing and he had Clottey winning. Kellerman pretty much said that Clottey won but he's not allowed to because of HBO's rules.

              "Jim Lampley doesn't think the decision was questionable, but Kellerman thinks the 116-111 score was ridiculous." I thought 116-111 was crazy too....either way that scores is too much for either side.
              Steward was the only one that had an edge to Clottey.
              Whats good about these kind of decisions is THEY WILL NOT BE OVER TURNED SO LIVE WITH IT.

                  you get a better judgement on a fight from t.v,just cuz you were actually there doesnt mean you had some fight changing view no one else had
