115-114 Cotto - I watched this fight again at the weekend, both gave it their all in what was an awesome fight!
The thing that really impressed me about this fight was how Cotto changed from Brawler to boxer in the end. Impressive.
Man, if you had to watch several times to make it clear, it aint clear. I'm gonna have to rewatch this later. I believe I had Cotto winning by a round if I remember correctly.
I watched it again and it seemed even more clearer how Cotto won, The most rounds I could give Sugar Balco were 5. Cotto clearly outboxed him in a great performance.
If you want a good laugh on Dan Rafael's 115-113 scorecard in favour of Cotto he scored Round 9 in favour for....Cotto. Makes me sad
It seems that the people that posted their scorecards have the 7th round as the round that could be the deciding one depending on who you gave it too. Here is round 7 and 8 [YT]3uIgv4xBfxY[/YT]
Interesting anaysis....although i dont agree with turning the sound off as if you were in the position of being a 'real' boxing judge- youd have to 'deal' with the crowd. Also i dont particularly agree with rewatching several rounds multipe times.
