Offical Scorecards people...How did you Score it??? Cotto vs Pacquio.

No one can rationally claim that Mayweather is too big for Pacquiao after the way Pac handled Cotto.


I only scored the 1st round for Cotto and had round 3 and 9 even.
Cotto got knocked down in that 3rd round, but he clearly outboxed Pacquiao through all of it.

Additionally I scored the 4th a 10-8 for Pacquiao for the knockdown.....and also had the 9th round 10-8 Pacquiao without a knockdown being scored.

Final score after 11 rounds was 108-89 Manny Pacquiao.

 

Cotto got round 1, the rest to Pac.

 

I gave Cotto rounds 1, 5, and 10.

 

rounds 1, 5 and 10 for Cotto, otherwise he just couldn't keep it together.

He was winning 3 till the KD, and actually was winning 4 until the KD.

 

If you had the Cotto winning the 3rd, the correct score would be 10-9 for Pac. Not 10-10 or 9-9. A fighter who got dropped automatically lose the round 10-8, but if he wins that round gets 10-9 (still lose the round by a pt).

 

I had it 1 round for Cotto (1st) and I scored the 3rd 9-9 and the 4th 10-8 for Pac. every other round 10-9 for Pac

I think very few people will complain about the size should Floyd beat Pac (there will be a few, but that's to be expected) , I think if we learned anything about Pac from this fight is that he still has his speed, power AND punch resistance at welterweight. So in terms of size, the biggest advantage of mayweather would be reach, but that's not an uncommon advantage to have even for fighters from the same division.

Personally I don't think a catch weight will not be needed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Roach asked for it. In fact, I expect him to ask for it to get any possible advantage. Diss roach all you want but that is part of what he's supposed to do as a trainer looking after his fighter.
