      The early knock down saved cotto.. I had it 114-113 cotto.. Very close fight.. U could also make a case for clottey winning vs margs..

      Both the cotto and margs fights were super close

          Cotto absolutely won that fight. He needed to win 7-5 with the KD in the 1st and he didn't. I had it 7-5 Cotto, but even a draw goes to Cotto with the KD.

            Watched the fight plenty of times, Clottey could have had it but did not act like a champion in the 12th. I can bring myself to scoring it even all the way up to that round, but can never give him the 12th. There were some marginal fouls but it was the last round - looking to the ref and walking away from Cotto isn't the best way to close out a championship fight. Cotto finished like the champ

              It was a close fight but Cotto won it. Clottey just didn't let his hands go when it mattered. That's how I saw it.

                I remember watching it and i never expected it to be that competitive. I thought Cotto would win a decision or perhaps stop him via body shot. Props to Clottey.
