    Exactly. Clottey lost the fight for himself by throwing nothing that last 3 rounds. You can't win championships that way.

    On first watch, I thought Cotto edged it round wise, but I honestly thought Clottey won his rounds more convincingly and beat him up.

    You can if you've banked enough rounds. It's a 10 point scoring system used in professional boxing.

    The last 3 rounds aren't worth more points than the first 3 rounds.

    I watched this fight yesterday and scored it.

    Round 1 - Cotto (10-8 )
    Round 2 - Even (leaning Clottey)
    Round 3 - Cotto (close)
    Round 4 - Cotto
    Round 5 - Clottey (should've been 10-8 )
    Round 6 - Cotto
    Round 7 - Clottey
    Round 8 - Clottey
    Round 9 - Even (leaning Clottey)
    Round 10 - Cotto
    Round 11 - Even (leaning Cotto)
    Round 12 - Cotto (close)


    My score: 117- 113 in favor of Cotto, 6-3 in rounds with 3 even.

    If you want no even rounds: 115-112 in favor of Cotto

    If you want to take the point off Cotto for throwing, it's 114-113

    I think they got the right winner and I think he'd have won even more clearly without the cut.

    Close fight. Not a robbery. Could have called it a point win for either man if I recall. (Or a draw for that matter) Fight was competitive and close. I also recall Clottey fading down the stretch, and that cost him.

    Clottey was doing really well but he gave that fight away in the last 2 rounds. Could not cut the ring off.

    Clottey choked as he often does.
