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

[FLY TY]

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!

there was 1 round, ROUND 4, after watching it a second time, maybe ROUND 11, that could've gone either way.....i gave both to cotto anyway, and he still loses 114-113....

all the other rounds, if you watch for punches landed, were pretty clear cut.

any way you slice it, 115-112 is highly questionable......116-111, the judge must've slept his way through that great fight, and decided to wake up at the end and give cotto an 8-4 victory.

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

no he did NOT win 5 more than he won 4, where u get this from?

different judges look for different things-and can be influenced by outside stuff i know a few good examples

I had Clottey winning 114-113 based on him landing the cleaner more effective punches. Cotto was busier but Clotteys shell took care of that for the most part. At the end of the day Clottey didn't take care of businesses and handed Cotto the last two round by chasing him around and counter punching instead of landing first as he did most of the fight.

No, it was crazy and anyone having it that far, ****e anyone having it further than two points for Cotto, has no idea what they're watching.

There is no way you could have had that fight more than two points, and that's being generous, for Cotto.

It was 114-113 for Cotto, maybe 115-112. 116-111 was ridiculous.

How can you give Clottey rounds 2 through 4 (Cotto won 2 of those, at least) and how can you give Cotto the 9th? Clottey clearly took rounds 7 through 10.

[hookoutofhell]

clottey has only himself to blame for losing to cotto, he gave away the last few rounds imo by simply not doing enough, cotto was there for the taking, he was hurt, damaged and one strong push from the ghanian would have left cotto with another KO/TKO on his record. instead he simply didn't do enough and cotto's movement and flurries won him the last few rounds.

one point that is often overlooked is the first half KD, again this was a mistake on clotteys part.

im a big fan of clottey and i was rooting for him but even i scored the fight narrowly for cotto - 114-113 i think.

[Swoosh]

It is easy for judges on the take to score close rounds for their fighter without su****ions ever being made. Happens all the time.

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???

Yep, Clottey blew it and I think the body shot and jabs wore CLOTTEY down to not do well at end. Cotto might not look very good in fight but his body shots wear fighters down.
