Comments Thread For: Alvarez Outpoints Cotto, Claims Middleweight Crown

Alvarez won but the scoring was again way out, far too wide....a joke.

Whatever I think about the scorecards, Alvarez continues to prove himself as a pretty good fighter. Great win for him.

I thought it was a good fight, too. Both guys showed a high level of skill and didn't do any of the spoilery **** that can ruin fights.

Levels to boxing! Canelo came in having faced the better recent comp and it showed. "Reborn" Cottos wins were heavily hyped..the truth came out in the ring.

Canelos definately a very experienced fighter now, look at the run hes on. Dudes consistently fought tough fights since he proved hinself against Trout. Mayweather, Angulo. Lara, Kirkland...and now Cotto. Hell yeah. What im inpressed with is the different styles hes went in against and hes only getn better...bring on GGG next.

the scorecards were scandalous....congratz to Nelo though, the kid did his thing....fight was far more competitive than those fraudulent crooked ass judges had it though....the fix was in....Cotto and RocNation got played...RN got welcomed to the boxing BUSINESS....Nelo vs Little G will be interesting...especially if Nelo get to make boss man stipulations at the negotiation table

Exactly...at the end of the day, Nelo deserves proper credit...the kid is good!!

cotto was the MW fraud and I say canelo got paid extra to carry him and not KO him

Canelo looked really good. He was mostly in control. I thought he won 8-9 rounds. Cotto just looked so much smaller. His punches did no damage at all. He had some moments. Im surprised people thought it was that close.

Biggest suprises for me were Cotto's chin and Canelo's defense. Both were better than I thought coming in.

Still think Canelo will have a hard time once he fights bigger guys. I don't know what Cotto can do from here. Maybe a Bradley fight?

bigger guys?? canelo bigger then GGG

So much 4 the syrategy of the over rated Roach...I gdoubt Alcarez fights genyine MW's && sccording 2 WBC GGG is next, no discussion...he can't make '55 & this is a champ, Alvarez????

MUCH LOVE for Cotto but DAMN!!!! His ***** wanted nothing to do with him after the fight??? I only call her that for the way she disrespected her man like that. At first I thought she was stalling because of the shoes. Then I saw he had to drag her practically into the dressing room...

What exactly happened? I must've missed it.

It's not like Cotto looked like crap. He was simply in there with a bigger & stronger guy and I'm sure early on he saw that Canelo was taking his shots like they were nothing.

A little upset Cotto didn't stick around after the fight as he's usually a good sport and a good interview afterwards.
