How many rounds did Cotto win?

i gave him 4. im ****in wasted right now so i might have to rewatch

 

4 nad 2-3 even rounds =)

 

3 tops!

 

i thought 2 but one was close so it could be 3

 

3 or 4. but man when he won those 2-3 rds in a row, **** was exciting lol

 

That is how I see it.

Two rounds were obvious Cotto rounds in my eyes. I have two more that I thought Cotto did enough to take them. I have one or two more that I thought were fairly close (though I thought Mayweather probably won them); If I was being generous I could give one of those to Cotto...

Floyd won, I think most of us can agree on that. However, Cotto gave a pretty damn good showing.

I think Cotto should at the very least get three rounds; anything less means that every round that wasn't a dominant Cotto round went to Mayweather.

At the very most, if you are being SUPER generous, I guess you could give six rounds to Cotto. But I think that is a pretty large stretch. I don't see how anyone could give Cotto any more than 6; I hate to say it, but I can't take any score card seriously that gives Cotto the win.

Personally, I think the reasonable score cards should range from 117-111 to 115-113. Every score card outside of those numbers is favoring one fighter too much...

 

I think maybe 4. Maybe 5 at the most.

 

Could the people who gave him 7 rounds defend their position? I don't want to sling mud, I just want to know what rounds you think Cotto should get...

Also, anyone saying no more than three rounds is a total knob. There were enough close rounds to argue for more than that.

 

2, maybe 3

I can count on 1 hand the amount of flush punches cotto landed. Everything else was blocked. Jim lampley squealing like a pig when cotto was punching leather/forearm all night = priceless

 

Two rounds....Too much missing from Cotto. I don't score pure aggression.

 

Post of the thread here!

4 rounds to Cotto as well.

 

Of course, we all know what the Bladegunners of the forum are going to say. So it is best to ignore them... They don't understand the subjectivity of boxing a believe that every close round should always go to Floyd.

 

Max is 3.

 

I'm not sure, would have to rewatch, but the commentators were being overly gracious towards Floyd IMO and not mentioning the bodywork that landed for Miguel. I gave him the first 3 (thought the right-left-right combination against the ropes in the first won it, and edged the next two on jabs and body shots), gave Floyd two after that, and stopped trying to score after the 6th, too excited; but I remember coming away thinking Cotto won some more for sure.

I'll have to re-score when my bias as a fan and the excitement of Cotto's success doesn't cloud my view as much, but I think the judges and many posters are giving him too few. I'll come back when I have a legitimate scorecard.

 

3 rounds is what I gave him. Floyd's defense was on point tonight. That boy can see punches like nobody's business. The crazy thing is that Floyd could have just stayed on the outside and boxed for an easy shut out but he chose to go toe to toe like he said he would.
