How does my Alvarez vs. Cotto scorecard conpare to yours?

[BOXEO _]

I had it 7-5 Canelo too. The scorecards were way off.

[Larry the boss]

I think Cotto won the 1st and the 2nd rounds and maybe you could have given him 2 more...4 rounds is the most i could give him

[Scipio2009]

1. Cotto (could have easily went to Alvarez)
2. Cotto (Lederman gave to Alvarez, how?)
3. Alvarez
4. Cotto
5. Alvarez
6. Cotto (could have easily went to Alvarez)
7. Alvarez
8. Alvarez
9. Alvarez
10. Cotto
11. Alvarez
12. Alvarez

I had it 7-5 Alvarez, but could have easily been at least 8-4 Alvarez or even, 9-3 Alvarez. I gave Cotto swing rounds on my card to even out my bias of being a huge Canelo fan.


Like in the Lara fight there comes a point when the opposition in front of Canelo finally gets so caught up in moving they forget there's a FIGHT that needs to be won and usually get dogged out in the second half of the fight.

It was a close fight but most definitely they got the decision right. Lederman is legally blind, in convinced. Comoubox was a joke. Cotto did what he could without staying in harm's way (arms reach of Canelo) like everyone else does. Survives in some sense.

Thoughts?

Watched the fight at the bar that I usually head to for fights. Scored the first round 10-10, flipped between the two for the next couple rounds than honestly stopped scoring; my sense of things was that Canelo was winning the fight, Cotto was keeping things close, and I was watching to see when Canelo would start to fade late, to be honest (fade started to happen at about Round 10, if I remember correctly and in my opinion).

Heading into Round 10, i think my thought was that Canelo needed to decisively pick up one of 10/11/12 to lock up the fight, but I had him not really doing enough to be all the way sure (Once Cotto saw Canelo start to tire, he picked up his business/activity, Canelo stalked his way in/around, needing to close the round strong to overcome the early buildup.

7-5/8-4 Canelo seems about how the fight was going to me, 9-3 if you want to be a homer about it; anything beyond that was just bad scoring to me.

Well scored, that's how I saw it as well.

[PeasantCrusha]

I seem to be the only one who saw Cotto KO Canelo in the 6th.


I don't get the controversy...
