I bet the judge that scored the fight 116-111 has an ESB account since June 2008. I can't explain it otherwise. :blood
Some Close Rounds were: Round 10 & Round 12; So if you gave those to Clottey it would be 6 rounds to 6 rounds plus knock down for Cotto, 114 - 113 Cotto.
Lol what dont you agree with? tell me which rounds? I've already addressed that round 10 and 12 couldve possibly gone to Clottey being close rounds. . but Cotto still would've gotten 114 - 113.
And peoples perspectives are worlds apart, I saw those rounds for Cotto earning him a 116 - 111. . BUT if someone was to see it go the opposite way 114 - 113 Cotto. No arguments on those scores, But Clottey being up on a scorecard. . I dont see it. :think Maybe there was another close round I missed? Otherwise only two possible scores I see.
I had it 114-113 for Cotto, but I had doubts for one round, where Clottey landed 16 punches to Cotto's 7 or 8 if I remember correctly (I think it was the 9th), but I still gave it to Cotto cause he finished in style with too hard left hooks to the head. So I wouldn't ***** about a possible 114-113 score for Clottey, it was a close fight. PS: You're sure you're not Don Trella? :blood
Hmmm, I'll watch round 9 again in a few. . If it is as you say then maybe a 114 - 113 Clottey would be reasonable. . That being said it all comes down to a person perspective, It was indeed a good fight and let me take this chance to say that if Cotto's eye was functional it wouldve been a clear fight for Cotto.

I basically had it the same as lederman 114-113 Cotto with a few rounds switched around. Very close fight.
You had the same scorecard as me, so this means you can judge fights pretty well. :yep A great mentality booster for Cotto it was.
