Cotto -vs- Clottey.. Who won Poll?

[RRICAN]

i think what got some people mad is the wide 116-111. that score is simply ridiculous if the scores would have been closer i bet you a lot less people will be arguing about cotto victory today. btw i had it 114-113 Cotto. clottey didnot do anything in the last 2 rds

If you score the fight round by round, ignoring the Compubox stats, you should have Cotto as the winner, because fights aren't scored on who lands more, that's the amateur system of scoring, if we are going to score fights like that we better get Cotto and Clottey some headgear and the gloves with the with stripe, but like I said fights are won by who wants it more and who proves that, Clottey said he wanted it more but in the end he didn't prove that because he did nothing down the stretch in the championship rounds.

Cotto won but it was thanks por the knockdown in the first round 114-113 Cotto

Clottey,

he landed the cleaner more accurate shots, Cotto landed **** all for most of the fight

It's 10 in the morning... that's really hard to ignore

I'll make sure to bump this again later, but what different group will be on later that would have an effect on these results?

I say this.

Clottey doesn't deserve to win because he new what was at stake and let left his faith in the judges hand. Cotto doesn't deserve to win because he he let Clottey back into fight after the knock down. It should be a draw and know one walks away with a lost.

Im with this guy. You have to convincingly beat the champ and clottey didnt do that, he let cotto stay in the fight with the bloody eye and all. Cotto stayed in the fight with his bloody eye.

This is what I said earlier in thread. You have to score round by round. Not cumulative totals. If I'm not mistaken, Dan Rafael had it 116-111. He might be a jackass as well.

I scored the fight 114-113 for Cotto both times I watched the fight, the 10th round was a very, very close round for me, the closest of the fight but I thought Cotto stole it with those 2 big left hooks right before the bell, he kept himself in the round throughout.

Here's a link to Dan Rafael's card and Atlas' analysis. Rafael may have gone a little overboard.. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=4257215

I was rooting for Cotto, but there is no way I can say he won.

Joshua had the more effective punches and did more total damage. He looked like he could have gone another 12 if need be whereas Miguel was more than happy it wasn't a 15 rounder.

There is a reason why it took longer than usual to tally up the cards.

They had to sort out the rounds to give Cotto the victory.

I was disappointed in the official outcome as it seemed pretty clear to me as to who the victor was.
