    115-113 Cotto.

    For what it's worth, Mosley didn't even believe he won. He thought it was a close win for Cotto or a draw.

    On fight night I was rooting for Mosley so I gave him few close rounds ended up with draw. But rewatched that fight 3 more times, it was close and clear W for Cotto, I see tho how Mosley could win that fight now with different game plan, he looked small in that fight compared how he looked against Margo.

    Thanks for bringing some sense into this Doomas. Cotto clearly won in a close fight. Even Sugar Clinch Balco and everyone thought so. Lets not try now and re write history.

    No way in hell Mosley won the 11th. Cotto landed the harder shots and outboxed Mosley, even made him look foolish at one point.

    Agreed. Clear win for Junito against Sugar Shane Balco.

    I had Mosely on the night of the fight, but I badly wanted Sugar to win.

    I've watched the fight since, and it's pretty clear that Cotto won this one. I rewatched HBO's commentary, Top Ranks, and with no sound, and I still score this bout 7-5 in favor of Miguel Cotto. Style's make fights, Cotto wasnt as available for punishment as Margarito was, and imposed his jab from the outset, landed the nights better shots.

    I get the sense that the scores for this bout rewatched now are going to be skewed to Shane, as we are all in awe of his master class. But, Miguel Cotto defeated Shane Mosely that night.

    :lol: Ridiculous. FYI, we aren't 'real' judges. We're ****ing fans. :lol:

    Based on what you're saying here you're not at all interested in knowing who actually won the fight. Just who seemed to win the fight. Personally, that's a waste of my time, and of no benefit to my bank of knowledge and future abilities as a fight-picker and boxing-bettor. Go ahead and waste your own effort having a mock go around as a 'fake' boxing judge. :rofl

    I had this fight the same way 115-113 for Cotto..It was a close fight but I believe Cotto won fair and square in the end!:good He was able to outbox Shane for a while it seemed! Juss goes to show why boxing is so sick! Styles make the fights!:thumbsup

    AS IT RELATES, Einstein. :lol: The color stuff isn't what we're talking about, bub. It's the "...Huge left hook by Cotto!.." SCORING related commentary that we're referring to here.. I love having someone tell ME what I'm talking about. That's always helpful.

    Yeah i gave the 11th to Cotto due to his counterpunching.

    But like i said before it seems that the 7th is the one a lot of people disagree with.

    AGAIN - Oh, but it is! :lol: You don't know the point, the purpose, or the manner in which I rewatched these rounds. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY. Interesting to hear how your brain works though.. You must have struggled to find the keys to type this. ^

    115-113 Cotto sounds about right.
    I predicted & wanted SSM to win this fight but he did not, nobody should score it for Mosely IMO but Id pick Shane in a rematch. I dont rate Cotto as much as most.
    Mosely had an off night, he is a greater fighter than Cotto.

    Heh. I think Mosley won the 7th, but it was a lot closer than the 11th.
