Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: Boxing in a Difficult Period of Controversial Decisions

[sammybee]

The boxers must also help settle this controversy by knocking out their opponents to avoid the judges decision.

Pac beat the crap out of Cotto when he was on that juice

For sure the Cotto-Canelo fight wasn't controversial. You can say Canelo won, but the 119-109 and 118-110 score cards were ridiculous.

With Canelo score cards are controversial.

Scorecards in the Trout 118-109, Mayweather 114-114, Lara 117-111 and Cotto 119-109, 118-110 fights were suspect.

and there's the problem. People tend to overlook that there may be corruption because the consensus of many is that the right guy still won the fight. But, there are "professional" judges who scored 36 of 48 rounds for canelo vs mayweather, trout, Lara and Cotto. That's absurd, and on those scorecards, barring 2-3 knockdowns, there's no way trout, lara or cotto would've won a decision on those judges cards. In my opinion I saw competitive fights but those scores said otherwise.

Well said! SUSPECT! 117-111 for Horn? VERY SUSPECT!

Absolutely.

Exactly, just because the right guy won doesn't mean scorecards of 11 rounds to 1 and 10 rounds to 2 are okay.

And in the case of Mayweather, they had it a draw when it was no where near a draw or close in any way. I also do not agree with the 116-112 scorecard for that Mayweather fight.


Canelo won over Chavez Jr. 12 rounds to 0. Which is a scorecard that I can agree with as well as pretty much everyone. But you mean to tell me that Canelo won 11 rounds to 1 over Cotto when we compare the fights Canelo had with Chavez and Cotto? So Canelo won 11 rounds or 10 rounds over Cotto and Cotto only won 1 or 2 rounds.


Yeah, the scorecards of the fights with Trout, Mayweather, Lara and Cotto are suspect. Let's prepare ourselves for September 16th, I know you guys will score the fight, let's see what the judges come up with if the fight goes 12 rounds and see if it matches what you saw and scored.

It was probably even worse back in the day when the mafia had control of it. This is nothing now.

Yeah, 117-111 was bogus. The whole decision for me was. I definitely had Pacquiao winning that fight.

Yes Mr. Cotto. Boxers like you who use their name recognition, and just fight cans to increase their bank account, puts boxing in a bad place.

I used to be a big fan, but you ran from golovkin like a little boy from a Catholic priest. Smh.

No problem for King Cotto, he will knock the fugg out the Sushi maker!
