If boxing is about doing damage, Clottey should've won the Pacquaio fight?

[Larry the boss]

Why ppl don't give Cotto credit for fighting with one eye for 9 rds? They say Lucas would have beat Danny had his eye not gotten closed up. Not fair bro!

Certain excuses only apply to certain fighters man, you should have learned that by now

Damage is certainly considered in the scoring of professional bouts.

But black eyes like that mean nothing. Similar to a guy in the NFL getting rug burned or scratched. Nothing....... Rockin'

Whether it's considered or not is another question.

It's not a scoring criteria.

The scoring criteria as I'm sure you know are; Clean Punching, Ring Generalship, Affective Aggression and Defense.

Nope, Damage>>>>>>>everything else

[IronDanHamza]

also found that comment bizarre

the guy that dishes out the most punishment(via punches) usually wins the rounds

That's not what I said.

Damage is not a scoring criteria.

Obviously the fighter with the most damage is usually likely to be the loser of the fight but again, it's not a part of the scoring criteria.

Yeah I know but still it has to be addressed.

i getcha....

some ppl just bruise up or cut easier. I've seen some guys look all bruised to the body (see Ruiz vs Toney), but it's less common than seeing their faces busted up.

Clottey is a skilled fighter, but something is wrong with him mentally. He choked again his fights with baldo, plasterito, and Cotto, and seemed to freeze up under the spotlight against Pac. and also he goes into a defensive shell.

It's about winning rounds. Pacquiao won many more than Clottey.

[noStylez]

Clottey is one strong mofo.

Hey, never took credit away Cotto. Showed true heart. I'm only speaking from what the final result was. Cotto technically won, but a lot of people thought Clottey won.

[boliodogs]

Well guess what, it's not about doing damage and it never will be. It's about landing the most punches and the best punches. Pacquiao threw and landed about 5 times as many punches and he clearly won every round by a mile. Are you really so ****** and screwed up that you think Clottey should win a fight in which Pacquiao made Clottey his personal punching bag? Clottey never complained about the loss. Clottey actually has a brain and can think logically.
