    Against Margarito he should have been given the draw, and against Cotto he should have been given the W.

    I wouldnt blame him for being pissed off. He was the agressor, landed more punches, had the higher connect percentage and still LOST. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    Cotto was bleeding out his nostrils his ass, both eyes swollen and Clottey didnt have a mark on him. Unbelievable.

    Clottey lost. I had it a draw at best. Cotto edged him out

    It could be a draw, Cotto win or Clottey win and I won't argue with it.

    Edged him out by being out landed, lower connect percentage, running most of the second half, and generally being ripped with big shots several times in the fight. Got ya.

    It was a close fight FFS, not a robbery.

    How you can have him drawing with Margarito I have no idea!

    He won the first 4 rounds and won 2 rounds in the fight. Watch it, its not hard to give him 6 rounds on clean punching.

    I'll post my scorecard when the search function works again.

    Btw, 116-111 and 115-112 is a robbery no matter how you slice it. I could see 114-113 Cotto. I'd still think Clottey deserved it but atleast the job woudlnt have been so blatant.

    The right man won in each fight, but the scores were ridiculous.

    Maybe its clottey style of blocking punches with his gloves that confuses the judges.

    116-111 was insane. i'm a huge cotto fan, but that score was flat out wrong. I liked harold lederman;s card and that could have gone either way. TBH i don't blame clottey for being that pissed after the fight.

    i don't know. his defense looks pretty tight. at least to me, when he blocks punches it obvious nothing is getting through.

    116-111 was insane, yes.

    115-112 or 114-113 would be fine for Cotto, as would 114-113 for Clottey.

    Or a draw even.

    Anybody else feel that the round where Clottey laid on the ropes for all 3 minutes should have been a 10-8 round for Cotto. Cotto teed off on him and Clottey didnt do crap.
