    Why does everything you post have to be all about your agenda.

    Didn't you yourself score it 116-112 - and Mayweather was "getting tooled"?

    Where do you even come up with your stuff.

    He got 6 & 8 clearly for me...I have no issues with people that scored round 9 for him but his highlight of a shoving jab i don't think did it for me both times i saw it

    I gave Cotto round 3 which was close. I also gave him 6 and 8 which he won clearly. I don't see how Cotto won round 9. He didn't do enough in the round for me and looked like he was getting tired.

    Rounds 3,6,8 and 9 were some of the clearest of the whole fight imo (12th THE clearest.) I also scored the 2nd even.

    Interesting. Much people gave Cotto 3-4 rounds but I was only able to give him 2 (6 and 8 ).

    I think I'll have to rewatch the fight.

    As long as I have watched boxing, the rounds that could go either way are scored for the champion. It's the challengers job to do more to win each round convincingly. Though I agree Mayweather won the fight, the scorecards in no way reflect the effort Cotto made in the ring.

    I would never score a close round in favor of the champion just because hes the champ. Made up rule, most casual fans who say 'u gotta beat the champ' dont even know what the 3 official rules are to scoring a fight. If the round was so close i really cant decide who won then ill score it even. No room for bias, champ or not.

    Im also against giving a round to a guy who did better 1 round than he had previous rounds, not doing ENOUGH to win the round but giving it to him just for the sake of it. Hbo commentators touched on this and i think it shouldnt be practiced.

    Yeah its really silly. I remember someone here posted an interview with a veteran judge and he mentioned that they are taught to never favor the champ. It was a really interesting interview, ill post it here if i find it.

    Damn this was a great fight. Going to watch it again now :bbb

    That's because 6 and 8 were the only CLEAR Miguel rounds.
