118-110 was not bulls**t. There was about 2 rounds where Cotto clearly won.
118-110 if you favored Floyd for what he was doing.
117-111 is the most reasonable and neutral.
116-112 if you were really favoring Cotto when he had Floyd on the ropes.
119-109 too wide and 115-113 way way way way too close. I thought the jduges had it spot on, and the fight went the way I thought it would, only one thing aside. Floyd dominated the early rounds, and Cotto had his moments in the middle rounds, and Floyd clearly closed the show in the late rounds. I thought Cotto would start out stronger and have his moments in the early rounds, and Floyd would take control in the middle and late rounds, similar to what Pacquiao did.
That was the only difference. Caotto has his moments early on with Manny, and he had moments in the middle rounds with Floyd.
I was impressed with Floyd tonight and I think Miguel clearly proved he is not "shot" or "done". Mayweather had the same speed and skill that he had in the Mosley and Ortiz fights, and he was sharp as hell with his combo's, and Cotto did all he could. The difference with this fight and the Oscar fight was that the judges had it right this time. Against Oscar, the judges had it way too close.
118-110/117-111. I had it 118-110 live. Cotto won two rounds clearly to me. Even in the closer couple rounds, Floyd controlled much of the pace with his jab and his effective combo punching.
It was a good fight.
