Cotto-Clottey: The Ringside Post-Fight Report Card

[Silencers]

6, 11, 12, right?

I had him winning 1, 3, 6, 11, 12.
114-113 clottey. Could have easily been 115-112, which was my first
score.. but i gave cotto 11th after i rewatched

I took him to mean last 6 as in rounds 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. I had Cotto winning the last 3, thought he stole the 10th.

I'm glad this writer had the same score as me. 115-112 for Clottey.

Same score here. Watched it twice, same score both times. Clottey is the man.

THIS JUST IN!!!!!







Clottey lost it's official....aww to bad.

And Holyfield got a draw in the first Lewis fight. "Official" doesnt mean ****.

How did he clearly win it. And don't say because compubox said he landed more punches...its a round by round fight, that's how it's scored. I wanna know how you think it was so clear. Now don't get me wrong I think it could have gone either way. I had it 114 113 Cotto. Clottey ruined it for himself. he didn't do **** to win the CHAMPIONSHIP rounds. But I am getting tired of hearing robbery when you HAVE to take the belt off the champion....not ****in just hope your going to get the decision.

clottey is the real champ. he at least had to beat judah to get his belt not michael jennings lol! then he had to give up his belt unjustly just to land this fight.

I had it the exact same as you. There were a few close rounds I had to go and rewatch a couple times including watching certain exchanges in slow motion. I can't fault someone for scoring it for 114-113 for Clottey, though.

[Pullcounter]

it was a close fight, but I have to give it to cotto because of the knock down and clottey gave away the 12th.

Good scoring. You really thought Cotto lost the third and clottey the fourth?
I felt cotto worked ALOT in the third and it compensated for the few clottey
threw/landed, thought it was a clear round for him though, and definitely felt
clottey dominated the fourth as did cotto the third.

What got me though, when watching it the second time, was I gave clottey
the 10th because he did great work and Cottos 2 left hooks at the end didn't
steal the round for me, not at all..those were like the only things he landed.

and the first time i watched I had clottey winning the eleventh, i felt like
it was even and kept telling myself someoen had to take the round
in the final seconds to win it, then clottey lands 2 right hands, then wins
the exchange before the bell, which sealed it for me.

So initially i had it 115-112 Clottey, but the second time I watched, the eleventh round exchange that I had clottey stealing the round on, just wasn't as good as i thought it was. After my third time watching it though, i feel as though the 11th round is the only spin round.. but I personally cant give cotto more than 5 rounds.

I had Cotto winnig but can understand the argument for Clottey winning. Either way it was a great fight in which both guys showed heart, something that it is missing from boxing these days. As both men said before the fight we the fans are the real winner since they gave us all they had for a terrific battle.

Before the fight I liked Clottey although I was a bigger Cotto fan; now Clottey has a new fan in myself. He deserves a rematch.

[TOBYLEE1]

Lots of ebb and flow in the fight, exciting till the end with both fighters facing injuries and continued fighting thru. Clottey fights in spurts and didn't fight in the last 2 rounds. These two guys will hopefully meet somewhere down the road. Cotto has to get a real trainer that he respects so they can come up and follow a game plan. Instructions in his corner where not good and the cut man left a lot to be desired.

I thought Clottey outboxed Cotto in the third and landed the most meaningful punches, the fourth was a close round, could have gone either way to me.

I felt that those 2 left hooks at the end of the 10th were better than anything Clottey landed throughout the round but I actually haven't rewatched the fight so I'm just going by memory.
