I just watched it also and I scored it 114-113 Clottey. Round 1 10-8 Cotto Round 2 10-9 Clottey Round 3 10-9 Clottey Round 4 10-9 Cotto Round 5 10-9 Clottey Round 6 10-9 Cotto Round 7 10-9 Clottey Round 8 10-9 Clottey Round 9 10-9 Clottey Round 10 10-9 Clottey Round 11 10-9 Cotto Round 12 10-9 Cotto I think Clottey landed the more effective punches and that **** Cotto pulled in the 12th should have got him a point taken away.I picked Cotto to win by UD but Clottey took this one on my card. And if Cotto fights Pac......Cotto get's his ass whooped. __________________
i had it cotto 114-113....if clottey stays on his feet he probably wins 115-113.....or gets a draw at the worse.....I did think overall clottey was the BETTER boxer.....but in boxing we judge by individual rounds.
114-113 Cotto The determining factor was the 1st round extra point for the knockdown. I had clottey winning that round up until that point, if he wouldn't have gone down the fight was his.
114-113 Cotto 1 10-8 Cotto 2 10-9 Clottey 3 10-9 Cotto 4 10-9 Clottey 5 10-9 Cotto 6 10-9 Cotto 7 10-9 Clottey 8 10-9 Clottey 9 10-9 Clottey 10 10-9 Clottey 11 10-9 Cotto 12 10-9 Cotto gave close rounds (2, 4, 9) to Clottey
Cotto was more aggressive at the beginning, thrown some good body punches. Later Clottey connected few clear shots to the head which gave him the lead. After the tackle I found Cotto again more aggressive fighter who landed good bodyshots. I won't mind that someone gave that round to Clottey, but in my eyes Cotto deserves it more.
What everyone seems to overlook is that Cotto could have said at the end of the 4th that he couldn't see **** and would have won the TD. So with fight being so close I give him the nod based on his guts and on the osme of the weak arse **** Clottey pulled in the fight.
I think this was my scorecard exactly. I thought the fact that Clottey looked like the physically more imposing fighter who kept backing Cotto up won him many rounds.
