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.
