    when they took so long to tabulate the scores! They were probably looking to white out all the 10-9 rounds they had scored for Clottey.

    I kinda thought that myself man. I quess they scored the fight based on how many times you get punched in the face or body. Clearly Cotto very busted up.

    Cotto got illgeally headbutted and had a horrible cut which was provoked by clottey targeting it. That's why he was "busted up".

    I thought it was fishy when it took them long too, reminded of all Valuev fights. Still whatever the result was, including a draw, I wouldn't have argued.

    Or they could have given Cotto the rounds due to the hammering he gave Clottey's gloves. Poor gloves, they sure got the hell kicked out of them. :yep

    What happened when Cotto thru Clottey down hit him in the nuts and punched him in the back of the head? Is that **** legal.

    The thread starter must be Emanuel Steward.

    Yeah, they fudge the scores every single time there is a delay.

    Just like Braddock-Baer.

    I would have. That is just plain wrong to deny a guy the victory he deserves. You put in that much work in for a fight only to get robbed by two dumb**** judges is disgusting.

    Yes it is. Clottey gave up his ibf belt to fight Cotto and he baet Cotto. HBO is biased as **** man.

    Yeah I agree there and have always said the same, these guys go through HELL literally in training camps only to get screwed by three old farts who are bribed in like 2 minutes. Still for this fight it was too close and could have gone either way so I won't really argue if anyone picked Cotto, Clottey or a draw in this case.
