    Watched the fight again. That was actually a close fight. (Cotto/Canelo)

    First time i watched it i got swayed by the commentators and thought canelo won. but after watching it again, I can truly say cotto wasn't given justice by the judges. Cotto was able to land his combos and stiff jabs, but off course a 20lb weight advantage for canelo can easily absorb those punches. Still those were scoring blows that seems to be non existent to the judges eyes.

    Size disparity is evident. In this case canelo was the bigger man and should have man handled cotto with his 20lb advantage. Even with that cotto landed more throughout the match. Canelo just threw the heavier blows, but less.

    I can see either man winning here. No wonder cotto walked out and didn't go to the post fight press. Judges didn't give him a fair shake. It should have been at least a close score card.

    I'm fine with Canelo winning, but the score cards it's just too obviously biased. Reeks corruption that is clearly influenced by money. It wasn't a lopsided fight.

    Only in Vegas.

    I scored the fight 7-5 Canelo. I thought Cotto did some good work, especially in rounds 9 and 10 i think it was, where Canelo did very little.

      I don't think so. Cotto was only able to land jabs, otherwise everything else was blocked and controlled very well by Canelo.

      Canelo did excellent, VIVA MEXICO!

        Watch it again cotto landed clean combos to the body and the head of Canelo. I've realized in boxing to be able to see the whole fight in a better perspective and a clearer picture of what transpired. You need to watch it again.

        Cotto landed more. Canelo landed less but connected with the more heavier shots which he should he is after all 20lbs bigger.

                I dont know wtf you guys were watching, can watch it a 1000's times still a clear cut victory for Canelo. I had it 9-3 but ill give you 8-4 but thats it TOPS (and that giving cotto a gift round).

                  119-109 is too wide but Cenelo won that much I agree with if you give Cotto more than 4 rounds you should make more of an effort to learn how to score a fight

                    i have a clear win for Canelo, but it was a close

                    i could see a draw, but Canelo looked superior in the fight he also looked like the winner, i couldnt give that a draw

                    Cotto did good, size did matter a bit, but Canelo has improved

                    8-4 7-5 Nelo

                    the judging was crazy, seems like WBC made sure of that, thats why Mayweather would had WBC in his corner
