The first round was a very close round and neither guy did anything, so with the knockdown it becomes a clear Cotto 10-8 round.

 

I hope it was worth the trip. :thumbsup

 

Clottey would have to dominate more to get a 9-9. But I agree I mean he was unlucky. He jumped in and got caught in the air. He must have been so angry at himself.

 

the question is not who you thought won the round apart from the knockdown, but rather who won the round with the knockdown. If that answer is still Clottey, then 10-10 is the right score. If the answer is even, then the score is 10-9 Cotto. If its Cotto then its 10-8

I thought it was 10-8 Cotto, 10-9 Cotto at worst.

 

Cotto squeaked his rounds (apart from 6) more so that Clottey, who did a lot of damage in the rounds he won. Probably why he feels so hard done by. Still it was a split decision and so reflected how close the fight was.

Considering that brutal gash, I'm glad Cotto won.

 

This is spot on and what some people need to realise. It was a CLEAR 10-8 Cotto round.

 

My understanding is that If a fighter is winning a round then it would (usually) be scored 10 - 9. However, if the fighter suffers a KD, yet out boxes his opponent in that round, then you can argue that the KD evens the round up to 10 -10.

For some reason though this seems to rarely happen as a guy can box someones head off for 2 minutes 59 seconds, suffer the briefest of flash knock downs and the judges automatically score it a 10 - 8 round.

 

i dont think some people relize it doesnt matter if clottey was winning the round when any fighter gets knocked down it goes in the favor for the fighter that knocked the other down thats why it is a automatic 10-8 cotto round

 

No no no. You have gone too far. Read the other post again.

 

I agree that Clottey was winning, but it's not like he had the round in the bag, it was a close round that could have gone to Clottey but the knockdown was the only real significant thing that happened in the whole round.
So it goes to Cotto 10-8.

 

which one

 

EXACTLEY:good

 

"the question is not who you thought won the round apart from the knockdown, but rather who won the round with the knockdown."

Translation: The knockdown doesn't AUTOMATICALLY swing it for the fighter who scored the KD. It does however radically favour them to win the round in the eyes of the judges....

 

yes, this is correct. Close round. Clottey edging it. Gets put on his arse: 10-8 round.
