    Just rewatched Cotto v Mosley, and I forgot how good this bout was.

    The first time I watched and scored this bout I had Cotto winning by 2 rounds I think. Well after rewatching it, I scored it 6 rounds to 5 in favour of Cotto, with 1 round even. It definitely wasn't a draw like i've heard a few people say in the past.

    How did everyone else score it...if you can remember...:good
     
  2. That fight will be a classic i think.

    Great welter fight, sickening punishment from both men and 6-5.
    Mosley started smoking but not soon enough i suppose.

    When I first watched it , I thought Cotto won comfortably .. Then I rewatched with the volumn turned off and I had cotto winning by 1 round .. With a couple of toss up rounds . Really good fight

    I didn't catch the fight live the first time round, so when I first watched it...it was with American commentators who were very biased towards Cotto.

    I watched it with the volume turned off before, still had Cotto winning a close bout, but my opinion on some of the exchanges were far less influenced.

    That's a bout where I was truly impressed with Cotto and his boxing ability but on the other hand I was equally disappointed by the way Mosley fought it out....

    I was sure Mosley would outbox Cotto all night, often overwhelming Cotto with his combination punching and power-box style. He seemed content to look for big punches all night instead of just letting his combos go....

    You first scored it 7-5, then 6-5-1, yet you claim it definately wasn't a draw? I scored it a draw.

    But you were clearly unsure of your first scorecard. You also had a tossup round and your second scorecard which why you have an even round. There's a lot of uncertainy in both your scorecards. Given this, how are you going to say there definately wasn't a a draw?

    My first score card had no influence whatsoever, like I pointed out, I forgot not only how good this bout was, but also how this bout played out. So my scoring first time round is irrelevant.

    How I scored it today was how I seen the bout today, no influence from the commentators or the crowd, etc. So when I say it definitely wasn't a draw, thats my opinion, thats how I scored it. The even round I gave was for the 10th I believe, not uncertainty, just a very even round were the tide changed about half way through the round.

    Shane is one of my all time favorites but this fight is what made me a Cotto fan. I've never seen my boy Shane hit with such clean, accurate shots. Hell Yeah this fight is a classic!!! It was close but i'd say Cotto won with those clean accurate shots.
