A modern controversial fight revisited: Cotto vs. Clottey scorecard

[Exciterx30]

But what I'm saying is for every person that calls a fight a "robbery" there are people saying what you're saying....close fights are automatically not robberies.

Just cause a fight is close does not mean it's not a robbery.....that's what I'm saying. I used Cotto-Mosley as an example because everyone can agree it was a VERY close fight...but it was also pretty clear to just about everyone that Cotto deserved the nod.

I have to keep saying the same thing, you are misunderstanding my posts. I never said that. I am referring to fights that really could go either way but some fans want to call them robberies.

In no way or form have I intended to say say that all close fights are automatically not robberies.

I had Cotto just barely winning that fight, the 1st flash kd helped, plus Clottey let the championship rounds slip, letting Cotto looking like the aggressor, ending the fight with a great left hook to the jaw.

Pretty much how most others see it, apparently.

I had Cotto winning by one point. Clottey gave the fight away.

I just finished watching this fight for, from what I remember, the third time. The first time I did not score it, but the other two I did. I have noticed that both my scorecards read the same at the end and that was a 114-113 win for Cotto.

I could understand the fight going the other way, but I confirmed what I always believed and that was that Cotto earned a razor thin decision that was decided by a knockdown.

I would like to read some scorecards from other posters.

Had it the same as you, bro. I was a fairly big Clottey fan up until his disgraceful performance in the Pacquiao fight. The best I could see this one for him would be losing 114-113. I think I once had it 115-112 Cotto and once had it 114-113 Cotto. That jab in the first round was huge.

I had Cotto winning a very close decision. I don't remember my scorecard at the time though.

6-6 with the Knockdown making a difference.

I remember making a review for the fight, But it wasn't controversial...Although Clottey headbutted his way to make the fight close, He did blew it.
