Cotto clearly won that fight, but he was robbed by the judges.

Cotto edged that fight but the scorecards were already filled out before the fight started.

That was a good fight. Actually, much better than what I was expecting.

What surprised me the most was Alvarez's great defense, it has improved quite a lot.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Those who say Cotto won that fight are sick. This fight was not even that good. Canelo destroyed him. It was a no contest.

[DuttyAlacrity]

8-4 Canelo!!!! Excellent excellent fight. AND he said he's ready for ggg right now!!!!!

[CatchAndShoot]

GGG will kill this kid. No questions asked.

Me too. Surprising. If Canelo can't hurt Cotto he ain't hurting GGG.

No, you see let me correct you.

He did not "clearly" win that fight. It was another could've gone either way fight, where us moderates will call it as such, while the extreme fans of either one will look for confirmation bias to say that their guy clearly won.

But at the end of the day, for the good of boxing, the right guy won. It looks like young Canelo will fight GGG, whereas Cotto wasn't gonna do much else with his victory, besides calling out a retired Floyd.

Watching the replays between rounds halfway thru the fight I already know that Cotto will be robbed. HBO was manipulating it by showing replays of Canelo's 1-2 landed punches for each round. Clearly if you score the fight fairly Cotto would've won.
