lack of reality on this board is sad

[freedom213]

there are some users who get it, they are pretty much unbiased, understand how to score boxing rounds, what counts what doesnt and more importantly a real boxing fan understands the fact that these guys are human beings and as a fight unfolds what happens in the ring affects each fighter and their performance. I am saying this to make a specific point: two guys fought a very gutsy tough fight last night, had Cotto not been horribly cut that fight would have been completely different. Not saying Cotto blows Clottey out but he would have been more aggressive, not have eaten so many rights and punches he could have seen and had more energy. That said many of these people need to accept that fact. Understand that is a dynamic of boxing and understand that Clottey couldn't or didnt make the decsion to recognize the situation and step it up to take Cotto out. Atlas nailed it in his statements he gets it other people need to learn form his outlook.

Agreed, hardly anyone looks from a non biased point of view...

And of course the cut effected him, it would have effected anyone...it still would have been a close fight...but after the 9th round i said.."This is clotteys to lose" and i dont think he did enough to win...when im sure he looked like he had enough stamina to go and win each round from then on...Guess u have to take ur chances!

I agree with everything but the bold. You have to judge rounds on what is going on, not on what happened the last round. You sound like you are having sympathy for Cotto because of his cut, and to be unbiased, you can't have sympathy you have to be realistic about each and every round.
