    That's what I was thinking.

    In 2/3 fights time Chris Eubank Jr is also up there.

    I had the same score. But god Alvarez stamina is atrocious at that weight. I hope that it will get better at 160. He will need a lot more steam against GGG. If it was GGG tonight he would've KOed him by the mid rounds.

    Please fight Golovkin and get your s*it pushed back in Canelo.

    Look, you may think Cotto won more than 2 rounds...but he sure as hell didn't win 7 or more.

    Wide scores, but the right fighter won.

    I can't believe they're talking about catch weight at 157

    Could have gone either way, but Cotto clearly landed more punches and Canelo missed all night. He landed the harder shots by virtue of being the bigger guy. Canelo the future of the sport, Cotto on his way out, scorecards were ridiculous.

    Sadly it will happen in 2018 once GGG fades some.

    :yepExactly! Rousey vs Holm was 10x better than this & Holly would kick the sh*t out of PBF.

    This is how the duck will happen. The Canelo/Cotto PPV number will come in.
    Much more than GGG PPV numbers.
    Oscar will bull**** about how blah bla blah need made bigger etc.

    Yes, but the rounds were differently close. It wasn't like each round was identically close. To score it 119-109 you have to only be watching one of the fighters.

    Not a robbery, could have gone either way for me - I had it for Cotto - but 119-109 is atrocious.

    I had it a draw, or 7-5 Canelo. With a couple either way rounds. The scores were despicable. No way in hell can you get those scores from what happened in the ring, unless every shot Canelo landed was worth triple the points. lol Decent fight though.

    3 judges seeing a 7-5 type of fight 10-2 type of fight is a problem IMO.

    Even the 3 or 4 rounds Cotto won were extremely close. The only people who think Cotto won or that it was close must be watching on ****ty streams. Broke ass *****es.
