You shouldn't rag on poor ol' Roy....but Jones' head has been bouncing off the canvas a lot over the last couple of years.
This fight is really separating the idiots from logical folks. Anyone having Cotto winning more than 3 rounds at most, is a moron and should give up scoring fights from now.
I disagree. I think people who deny the closeness of rounds are simply preoccupied with making Floyd's victory look easy.You can't make a blanket statement like that when lots of people have 4 rounds, and some have 5.
Round 2 was indeed close, but it was a Floyd round. Gander had round 2 in favor of Cotto due to body work, but later changed it after re-watching it again. :thumbsup
Lemme ask this: Being the champion, shouldn't Floyd have taken the title away and there4 all close rounds should be given to the champ?
LMFAO...And 99% of the media had Floyd winning the fight...easy fight to score really..I had it 8-3-1 even for Floyd.
cotto got no love from HBO or the judges for his bodywork and I think that is why he was po'd about the scoring. I do not blame him at all. I say lets see a rematch in Puerto Rico...
USA Today? DKSAB! 9-3 8-4 if you are generous Those scores don't really tell the story of how competitive Cotto was though.
