    Round 3

    Martinez is sliding and jiving across the ring, cranking out high right jabs. Cotto is bossing the ring, cutting in straight on Martinez and hooking low. Cotto reaches up high and catches Martinez on the lip with the left jab, ducking through Martinez's southpaw jab. Martinez circles left, sliding backward. Cotto jumps in and throws hooks at the body in economical bursts, pulling out and resetting without punching himself out. Big left hook downstairs by Cotto, pulled halfway there as Martinez sidesteps. Left uppercut slicing the air by Cotto.

    10-9 Cotto

    30-24 Cotto

    Cotto should fight GGG. He is fighting a cripple and you people act like it is meaningful.

    Sheridan and Merchant saw Martinez coming back in that one.

    His best effort yet, but I think both of them fell into the old trap of scoring erroneously because someone "did better" relative to previous rounds, where they didn't actually do the better work if you view the round in a vacuum.

    (though I acknowledge that one might argue someone giving it to Cotto might be falling prey to exactly the opposite fallacy - scoring on 'momentum'...)

    Compared to this, Martinez looked prime against Murray. Even if he pulls out a hail mary KO he needs to retire.
