Question About Cotto - Clottey Round 1...

I think the round has to be a lot clearer in Clottey's favour to not be a 10 - 8 to Cotto.

Didn't Cunningham batter Adamek one round, but got floored during it and still lost it 10 - 8?

 

No. You are fine with your score. I scored it 9-9 as well.

 

I always thought a kd resulted in an automatic 10-8, though based on the commentators it seems that doesnt 100% have to be the case. But I've never see a round where it wasnt scored a 10-8 for the person who socred the kd, regardless of how the rest of the action went.

 

It was a caught off balance/jab KD. It wasn't like Cotto caught him with a big left hook or right hand. That will Clottey was winning the round made it 9-9 for me.

 

The round was fairly close,even razor thin,both guys were boxing,Clottey was slightly ahead.

With the KD it's Cotto 10-8.

 

i had clottey winning the round but i gave it 10-9 cotto after the kd

 

Every judge had it 10-8 obviously.

 

AFAIK, if it's a flash KD or a questionable call in a round the knocked down fighter was clearly winning, you can make the round even or a 10-9.

Since this was neither and the round was extremely close, I scored it 10-8 Cotto.

 

Clottey didn't have nothing ''clearly win''.
A clear round is Cotto's 6th or Clottey's 7th.
I'm 100% every judge had it 10-8 Cotto.

 

I would've scored the round even without the knockdown.. and then Clottey got dropped which automatically gave the round to Cotto plus and extra point for the knockdown made it, BOOM, a 10-8 round for Cotto.

What a difference a knockdown makes.

 

By that reasoning it would have made it a 10-9 round for Cotto. Learn how to score a round big guy.
