    116-111 for Cotto wasn't that crazy of a score

    There were a number of rounds that could've gone either way. Especially the 4th round, which I gave to Cotto. So, 116-111 is not shady. It was a close 116-111

    The thing is, there were rounds were Clottey was landing the cleaner punches, but Cotto was much busier. You can't just land 3-5 clean, crisp punches and think that alone was gonna win the round, unless the opponent wasn't doing much of anything.

    i had it 116-111, some rounds were really tough to score and maybe I should've given it a draw, the 4th round was the toughest one for me. And Cotto pulled away on the championship rounds, all blame goes to Clottey for that one.

    It wasn't so much that Cotto was doing a great job of winning rounds, but Clottey needs to wake up and know that you win fights by actually punching!

    Yeah. It's a bit lopsided, but I can see it.

    The judge obviously gave round one as a 10-8 and then gave Cotto the rounds at the end where he boxed Clottey + Cotto definitely won 5, and arguably 4

    Disclaimer: I may be getting all the rounds wrong as I've only seen the fight once so far

      That score card was to off and I don't know what fight the judge saw but he could have given Cotto 8 rounds and justify it becouse of how close the fight was.

        That was the gift, a bull**** judge. It's like the judge wanted to make it obvious. 200 - 5 for Cotto

          You're right, it wasn't really so far off.

          Kellerman was upset by that score because he was obviously rooting for Clottey.

            Ermm, it was way off IMO, and Lederman's was dodgy as anything as well. Will have to rewatch R2 which a lot gave to cotto but I can just remember clottey out landing cotto with better quality punches.

            It's a shame that the cut changed the fight as I think cotto would have won otherwise, but as it was, I gave it to Clottey 114-113, with r11 being pretty close.

                bull****.....the only way EITHER guy wins 116-111, is if you're openly rooting for him, or openly influenced by crowd noise.....and in that case, you shouldn't be judging.

                i gave cotto rounds 1, 4 (generously), 6, 11, 12......clottey won this fight.

                  When you support somebody, you don't even look what the other has done. If Cotto looked good so the round it's a Cotto round ignoring the fact Clottey had a better round 'cause you just can't see what he has done.

                  It's normal...

                  116 - 111 wasn't crazy, it was tendencious.

                    Umm, if you look at my sig, you'd know who I was pulling for. And how the f**k do you give Cotto the 11 & 12 round. The guy couldn't cut off the ring if his life was in danger. Clottey blew the f**kin' fight more than anything else. Where was the jab to do more damage to Cotto's eye???
