[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Cotto defeats Mosley! By Matt Richardson at ringside Unbeaten WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (31-0, 25 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over former three-time world champion Shane Mosley (44-5, 37 KOs) on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Cotto landed the better shots in round one and most of round two, however Mosley landed some good rights at the end of the second. Both landed big shots in round three Cotto momentarily rocked by a right hand. More good exchanges in the fourth, slight edge to Cotto. Round five was close, but Cotto appeared to be taking control in the sixth. Mosley adjusted and tried boxing from the outside in a sloppy seventh round. The boxing continued in the eighth as Mosley moved and Cotto pursued...close round. Mosley hurt Cotto in the ninth round but Cotto fought back gamely at the end of the round. Mosley dominated the first half of the tenth, but Cotto rallied in the second half. Mosley pressed in the eleventh, but Cotto landed some great counterpunches to win the round. Possibly thinking he had the fight won, Cotto was staying out of range in the twelfth, although he landed two good rights. Scores were 115-113, 115-113, 116-113.[/FONT]
The winner of Pbf vs Hatton probably aint too fazed by Miguel Cotto at all. His last 5rounds were woeful for a supposed terminator.
I had it a draw going into the final round and gave the last round to mosley by cotto just running away thinking the fight was one. Very good fight, very close fight, a lot of early and middle rounds could have been draws or gone either way..... alll in all I'd love to see a rematch cause shane won this fight
