He didn't have to risk himself at that stage. He had it won clearly. Why attempt a KO when it's completely uneccesary? IMO, the judges were crap. Cotto won it by a clear 4 points! The mere fact that Mosely wasn't damaged further than he was, or KO'd, says a helluva lot for his own ability. For a man who is supposed be in the twilight of his career, he fared fantastically. Shrewd...because he saw very quickly that if he attempted to carry on slugging it out, he'd be KO'd for certain!
Two judges had him winning by two points, another by three points, yet you think they suck because you had him winning by four points? Sigh... utter ignorance.
it was clear as day bro. the last 2 rounds shane's face told the whole story, he had a look of discouragement on him as he was clearly gassed. clear win, the most you could say is that cotto won by a round, but the win was clear.
When Cotto became the counter puncher he was landing CLEAN hard shots on Mosley. Mosley barely landed any clean shots. Mosley did not move his head the whole fight. Cotto landed leather on him every single round. Clear win for Cotto. Cotto. The rounds when Shane was landing did you guys forget that Cotto was jabbing shane and landing his right hand and left hook before Shane got off his same right hand. Cotto won this hands down. Shane took way more punishment and got hit crystal clean a million times. Shane never landed anything in combination but Cotto would jab and knock the daylights out of Shane with the right hand. Shane just has an cast-iron chin. Shane knows he lost and Shane was holding cotto on the inside b/c of his lack of defense. Shane is a great fighter but his offense is his defense. Dont question Cottos defense when he blocked or partially blocked Shanes shots. Shane got tagged flush countless times.
I completely agree with the threadstarter. I have Mosley by at least 2 rounds, going over my scoring and giving Cotto the benefit of 2 close rounds.
oh man i dont know what to say except Cotto clearly won the 11th and Mosely clearly won the 12th anyone who scored both to either fighter is delusional or blind
I honestly thought it was gonna be a draw but if anybody won it was Cotto. Mosley did not win 7 rounds. :nono Seriously, how do u beat Miguel Cotto? How do u beat this guy??? He might not ever lose a fight.
You get Don King to pay off the judges, I guess. Mosley won. Damn that was AMAZING for a 36 year old. It's a shame the judges had such a bad night -- Casamayor, Cotto.
