Cotto-Mosley Fight Revisited

I don't know the R-B-R breakdown, but I remember having it 115-113 for Cotto.

Shane did better than I expected.

 

Im a Shane fan also and had Cotto winning a close but clear decision.

While Cotto did backpeddle the last few rounds, he did not run. . . his counter punches had some hurt intentions on them - they were NOT pitter pat and run type punches.

 

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't see this fight until relatively recently. Let's just say I was very, very impressed with what Cotto was able to do while moving backwards, and also very, very impressed by Shane's late round charge. But the only sane way to view that fight was a Cotto win. He absolutely dominated the middle rounds, and was effective enough to stop Shane's momentum in the championship rounds.

 

same

the irony though is that Cotto thought he had the fight in the bag going into the championship

 

This was an incredible fight.

I had it 7-5 Cotto but could understand it if someone had it a draw. But i don't think Mosley won. He didn't win 7 rounds.

 

Good post, i also had it 8-4 Cotto. A clear win. It just goes to show that some people have NO idea how to score fights on this forum.

 

I had it 7-4-1. I've watched it 4 times. I like Mosley and consider myself unbiased when it comes to judging a fight. I just cant see how Mosley wins. I challenge someone who thinks mosley won the fight to give an analysis the way Benny did.

 

very good statement. while i dont think it was a draw, i for sure cant see at all how anyone could give mosley 7 rounds. that is ridiculous.

 

Exactly. They got it right. 7-5 for Cotto no matter how many times you watch it IMO.

 

I had it 115-113 Cotto

 

Cotto seemed to either get tired or he was hurt late in the fight. I never saw the shot if he got hurt. Either way, he still fought well when Mosley was chasing him. In fact, he won those last rnds.
