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

      He landed very very few meaningful punches, none had ANY real damage on the ginger

      Whats more, the one sequence Cotto unleashed a combo Canelo went full Chavez sr and spectacularly blocked or avoided everyone

      Too big, too young, too responsible for Cotto. No shame in that

        We are not talking about eye catching moments, we are talking about the fact that Cotto did land some punches that either Roy,Max & Ledderman either were all wet over Canelo, or they just were completely terriblr bias broadcasters. Canelo did win the fight, but do we really need broadcasters like that? All i'm saying call the fight right. If so & so landed a shot say it, don't start telling me what he should be doing etc....

            His punches had no snap on them. and he landed less. Also why would they show highlights of Cotto in between rounds when Canelo was the one landing all the clean punches? Should HBO give an indication to the viewers that Cotto was winning rounds? Because he wasnt.

              if im not mistaken lampley and rjj did call the shots cotto was landing too. Canelo was just landing the cleaner more powerful shots, cant blame them for doing what they get paid to do. Its the cotto fans who are having a difficult time accepting canelo was just the better man yesterday night.

                    Canelo studied a lot of Chavez's fights and really wanted to make an effort to go to the body and I think that's what lead to the knockout in the 12th round.

                      Same. I think Roy is part of the script now and doesn't seem to be the independent voice he once was. Though I had Canelo winning, it was a struggle to score fairly because of how biased the commentary and audience were. At times I wondered what the hell was going on because they were blatantly ignoring so much of what Cotto was doing.

                      My wife got confused because she thought Cotto was winning but kept hearing them talk up Canelo. At one point she thought she was getting their names wrong.
