My two scorecards and what my African coach said

[We want Floyd]

Here's how my original scorecard

I gave Cotto rounds 1 thru 4, 6, and 10-12 which gave him a score of 116

I gave Clottey rounds 5 and 7 thru 9 which gave him a total of 111


I watched the replay and here's how it turned out

I gave Cotto rounds 1, 3, 6 and 10 thru 12 which gave him a total of 114

I gave Clottey rounds 2, 4, 5, and 7 thru 9 which gave him a total of 113

either way guys, Cotto won the fight!! Rounds 2 and 4 were the rounds I changed my scores. But I still stand by my original score over the second one!

Yes, Clottey landed the cleaner shots, but, you can't land 3-4 good shots and expect it to be good enough. 3-4 good, crisp , clean punches in a 3 minute round simply ain't enough against the workrate that Cotto put in, in each of those rounds.


Here's what my African coach said who happens to be from Ghana, he sounds just like Clottey but his accent ain't as thick, lol.

Anyway, he thought the fight could've gone either way, but he leaned towards Cotto. He saw it just like how many of us saw it, Clottey gave the fight away, and he also brought up Clottey's complaints throughout the fight ie the body slam, low blow and getting hit behind the head.

he said that it gave the impression that Clottey didn't want to be in there. Like he was banking more on the ref to take points away rather than work to win each round, I agree!

I stopped caring about your opinion when u said 116 to 111
and i gotta say this...cotto the one who gave me the impression that he wanted the fight stopped after he got the cut. He was running and kept touching the eye to catch the ref eye.

YOu can't get mad at the 116-111 because there was more than one round that could've gone either way, it just so happens that I gave it to Cotto.

I never claimed that Cotto was the clear cut winner even with a 116-111 score, because I could also see how Clottey could've taken those tough rounds.

Just to let you know my bets were for Clottey to pull the upset!

Cotto never complained ONCE in the fight and couldve ended it whenever he wanted to and get an easy victory but he WANTED to be there. Unlike Clottey, if he says he was "robbed" then why was he trying so hard to get a point deduction.

Cotto got handled in the first few rounds. You failed early with this post.

[MoneyMayFan]

And he failed trying to say clottey wasnt landing enough..He landed more than cotto most of the rounds
