    forgot how good and close this fight was. Both of them were throwing with bad intentions.

    I had the fight 7 rounds to 5 for Cotto. (115-113)

    Cotto put the first and the middle rounds in the bank but Mosley came back strong towards the end. I did see Mosley fatigued around the 7th round and his face did end up very puffy.

    Overall it was a great fight.

    Any of you remember what score you had for the fight?

    This was one of the best big fight in recent memory IMO. A lot of momentum switches and action. I had it 115-113 Cotto. Close but clear.

    I was just saying we need to rescore this fight. This is the thread then.

    I'll watch it again tonight and bump this.

    Cotto most definitely won..and won most of his rounds a little bigger.

    But when he got tired late Shane came back with a vengence and pushed him all the way.

    115-114 Cotto, incredibly close fight, if Cotto wasn't champion we may have gotten an MD, SD or a draw.

    Cotto clearly won a close fight. Whoever found 7 rounds to give to Sugar Balco Mosley is smoking some good ****.

    Cotto won, but Mosely let this fight slide away from him at vital stages. He just wasnt up to it on the night, but i believe he would win a rematch as i dont rate Cotto.

    Round 10: Mosley 10-9
    Round 11: Mosley 10-9
    Round 12: Mosley 10-9

    Mosley 115-113

    Some may need to watch this one with the sound off. The always astute Puerto Rican crowd was doing a brilliant job of lifting Cotto. Mosley would nail Cotto with a series of shots and there would be nothing. Cotto would come back with a single jab or a combination and the crowd would go OOOHH!! OOOH!! OOOHHH!!!! :lol: They were HYPIN it. The HBO commentary wasn't terrible, but it was definately pro Cotto. Anyways, I'd say this was pretty clear for Mosley. I had to rewatch several rounds multiple times to be certain because some were very tight. It became clear eventually.

    On to the issue of people "not knowing how to score if the had Mosley winning" or "must be smoking some good **** if they had Mosley winning" - that's hilarious. This was a close fight. It could have gone either way, and I scored it for Cotto live - though I'll admit the crowd got to me a bit. Still, it could have gone either way. If there's anything that's glaring on the scorecards of some of those who scored it for Cotto, I would say it's the 7th round. They must be smoking some good ****..
