I want to preface this by saying I thought Canelo won by two rounds. Too big, too tough for Cotto.
Compubox was complete trash tonight. More than usual. Cotto would land glancing blows or half blocked shots and would be ignored by compubox.
Meanwhile Canelo lands a glancing shot or half parried blow and it gets marked down.
You have Jim Lampley knobgobbling Canelo like he's the savior of boxing while Max, a supposed scholar of the sweet science, goes on a tirade about Cotto using his movement and boxing skills as if it were a bad thing.
So many things about the broadcast tonight seemed to be less about the fight and more about shoving the "future" of boxing down our throats. I guess this is what we have to look forward to in the post Pacquiao/Mayweather era.
