    No backsies you piece of ****! The quote you responded to stands.

    As to the OP I chose my words carefully. I didn't say general public. I said general boxing public that is not by chance. That includes both fans and those who were scoring ringside. How would you define both fans and informed observers?

    Amongst the genral boxing public the vast majority scored the fight the same 115-113. That includes both the lay fan and expert ringside observer.

    I'll just let the facts speak for themselves.

    Here's a post for ESB's own gattiwarrior for putting in the work (link to post here)

    Next, here are the scores from blog (link above). Please pay attention to the most common score:

    In other words, the notion that Mayweather Cotto fight was universally seen as a 115-113 fight is backed up by any actual research or information of scores given by fans or ringside observers.

    But keep trying, Sparky.

    God you are a worthless piece of ****!

    I didn't say the Cotto fight was 115-113. I had that fight 116-112 which was the concensus. But I felt the 118-110 wasn't defensible. 117-111 was also a little far. You would think at least 1 judge would score it closer.

    Again you are trying to change the subject because you are a worthless piece of ****.

    Nobody supported Bradley beating Pacquiao in their first fight.

    Nobody.

    So what you say here just... doesn't apply.
