im surprised that he gave Cotto 2 rounds out of the first four rounds if I recall correctly that Floyd won rounds 1-4
These people who scored the fight for Cotto are apparently the same people who scored the fight for Manny against JMM in their 3rd fight. People you have to realize that if a fighter is aggressive yet ineffective then their aggression does not really hold merit.
Just re-watched it on mute and gave Cotto rounds 3, 8, and 9 and I scored round 5 even. 10-9 10-9 9-10 10-9 10-10 10-9 10-9 9-10 9-10 10-9 10-9 10-9 117-112

How did Cotto win round 9 when he took that round off to rest from all the work he did in round 8? Cotto barley threw any punches this round
cotto won the 6th round & the 8th round mayweather won every other round Hats off to miguel tho he was getting countered then trying to counter back trying to solve the puzzle he was pressuring well & not recklessly but floyd was landing cleanly whenever he wanted he was throwing combinations we havnt seen him throw in years Respect to miguels chin & durabillity !
Why has a fight with a clear winner got so much debate about the scorecards ? :huh Let me guess, its another floyd/pac fucfest.... I just hope these 2 ***s fight soon so that this embarrassing **** stops on here... but my guess is they won`t fight & this is all we`re gonna get for the next 20 ****in years :-( fmj won clearly, there`s nothing to discuss here.
i actualy agreed with Tasco i had it 116-112 gave Cotto 3 5 6 and 8 with 3 i think being a round where i thought could have gone either way but i gave it to Cotto.... so 117-111 is not bad either....
^ 3 , 6 , and 8 were clear Cotto rounds from what I can remember. 5 was a close one, but I thought Cotto did enough to win it.
