Hopkins beat Calzaghe. Dirrell beat Froch. Clottey beat Cotto

They used to give credit to fighters for making their opponent's miss and for landing punches.

 

Cotto clearly won rounds 11 and 12. Mostly everyone feels this way.

 

He did. This dude is shitfaced.

 

You are a simple minded person to use that logic, especially given that Cotto face was more ****ed up from the big ass gash from a headbutt than Clottey's punches and by your logic I guess Kotelnik won cause he landed more in the fight and his face was clean compared to Alexander's who had a gash from a headbutt and had a bloody nose and bruising on his face.

Stop doing the "This guy's face was better than this guy's face." It's a terrible argument. It only works in extreme cases... like when people complain about Vitali vs Lewis. His face was literal torn to pieces.

Some fighter's just cut more easily. Doesn't change the reality of how the fight turned out.

Cotto vs Clottey was close. Dirrell vs Froch was close. Hopkins vs Calzaghe was relatively close too. AK vs AD wasn't close. You can't get out-landed and get your head-rocked with clean-punches and win.

 

:blabla

 

Being marked and being unmarked in your face proves NOTHING.

It just shows you that you were less defensive than the other guy.

You telling me Clottey won against Pacquiao just because Pacquiao risked more by throwing more shots and letting Clottey hit him in the face?

 

The earlier rounds were competitive, but the second half was clearer.

I think Alexander won rounds 2 and 4. There is zero way he was up 5-0 unless you gave every reason to give him those rounds.

 

No he really didn't.

First 6 rounds: AK 4-2, maybe 3-3 and maybe he got the 10th. Teeing off on gloves with pitty pat hand flicks doesn't count, most of the time he wasn't even reaching the gloves.

If you think DA won tonight but think Dirrell won, you are tapped. Froch lost to me, as did Alexander.
