In my mind I saw the fight 115 - 113 for Cotto. The round I bolded out were close rounds and could have went either way. Round 2 Clottey landing those upper cuts did it for me in that round but Cotto was still active and fought a close contention. I scored Round 10 for the Champion Cotto he hit Clottey with some good body work and out did Clottey's late left hook with a better one near the bell. I thought Clottey did NOT do enough in the last 3 rounds to win any of them. In the 12th round Clottey did more complaining to Mercante then he did fighting. If he would have stepped it up sooner in the round rather then in the last 30 seconds or so he may have won the fight. I agree it was a close decision and the 166-111 was off but 114-113 and the 115-112 were pretty much in the ball park depending on hw you scored rounds 2 and 10. Anyone ne else have anything to add????Lefty

114-113 Cotto...

I had Clottey winning 10-9 until the knockdown. To go from 10-9 Clottey to 10-8 Cotto is a three point turnaround. I could see that if Clottey was flattened and truly hurt. But not all knockdowns are the same. This particular knockdown - IMO - doesn't call for a 10-8 Cotto round.

I think it can be flaw in the scoring, especially when the kd is more of a trip.

In this case it was a perfectly timed punch while his opponent was walking in. You deserve an extra point with a kd like that.

And I don't think Clottey was winning the round before that either. It was pretty much even.

I agree. I scored it 10-8 Cotto. However, it's not absolutely necessary to score a round 10-8 because someone is knocked down.

In some cases it's necessary to just score it 9-9. Like when Barrera was beat up against Marquez in the 7th, and knocked him down late in the round.

115-112 Clottey

Round 4, I have watched the fight several times now and waiver on this round to Cotto or Clottey, but even giving it to Cotto it's 114-112 Clottey. I don't see any other point where Cotto could have won a round. Granted Clottey could've thrown more punches to secure the win, but Cotto didn't do anything to actually win the fight.

He caught him with a hard jab at the perfect time and scored a legitimate knockdown. If you don't give him the 10/8 round, you're screwing him out of something he earned, and giving Clottey something he didn't. ****ty thing to do in any world. I had Cotto ahead by 2. He took the win, but not by the 5 points the morons who scored the fight thought he did. Shameful.

Interestingly enough, I had it that way on the night of the fight...but I watched it again last night minus all the Cazadores and saw the fight much differently.
