Why didn't HBO showcase Cotto's landed punches?

    HBO, WBC and GBP all had mud in their hands right now. SHameful. I think I'll find a way to get Boxnation - everyone seems a bit more happy with their commentary.
    I thought their commentary was terrible. Barry Jones was giving Cotto every round early on and then it was like he suddenly realised he was being a tard and started saying Canelo was winning

    Haven't seen HBO yet.

      Don't bother. No need to hear that nonsense.

      RJJ made a fool of himself.

        Actually, I felt like they showed a decent amount of Cotto's punches. After round 8 they showed Cotto's hits meanwhile Canelo gave him some stiff work in that round.

        Also, I don't think the commentary was too pro Canelo. What I gathered was that they fed off the momentum in the fight. And yeah, Canelo was relaxed, super confident, in control and sometimes carrying/toying with Cotto. Made it look a bit easy. If he would have shown less respect like he did in the 12th he could have possibly finished the fight earlier.

          SUGAR RAY LENRD:
          Dude, when they are mentioning all Canelo,s shots even when they were blocked & they don't mention Cotto's , and instead they start commenting on what he should do, all the while the guy is landing, not just one shot but several....that is terrible broadcasting & yes pro -canelo (maybe not purposely) but that's why it is terrible/horrible broadcasting

            I'm saying that Cotto didn't land any punches from rounds 1-12.

                Cotto landed like 3 or 4 clean eye-catching punches the entire fight lol

                    I'm pretty good at noticing how many punches are landed per round and,I can safely say than Miguel Cotto did not land a single punch over the course of that fight. I actually used to work for Compubox.
