Thanks. I agree with most, but will re-watch the 3rd. That one was not clear at all IMHO. Looks like that round winds up deciding the fight; I gave it to MC and he won the Dec on my card.
Watched the fight again. Originally scored: 114 - 113 Clottey. Now: 115 - 112 Clottey notes: Cotto should have been deducted a point for the hit behind the head. Clottey totally could have taken the fight tward the end. His loss, literally.
that was CLEARLY accidental and honestly he barely touched him. clottey should have been given an academy award for best dramatic performance for that one. he looked like he was gonna cry for god's sake.
it appears to me the anti margarito pro mayweather group have pulled together here in support of Clottey, I am sure that Cotto being Latino has just about everything to do with it. this is pathetic, there is no way you can say Floyd Mayweather dominated DLH yet turn around and say Clottey was robbed especially after being floored early and fading late like that, and in plenty of spots Clottey would not even fight, Miguel would advance and Clottey would back away and go on the defensive with out throwing anything.
I had 114-113 for Clottey. After the fight I was pretty sure Clottey would run away with the decision, but after buffer read 116-111 I knew Cottey wouldn't get it. Everybody watching the fight with me thought it could go either way, and all were very suprised by that score.
very true. i didn't let it effect my judging, but it was hard to keep out of mind. he lost an avatar bet. guess which one...
