Revisiting Cotto v Mosley 07'

I believe I had it 116-112 for Cotto or 116-113.

Good fight, but Cotto's cleaner and harder punches won it for me.

 

I agree with you. It could have been a draw, that is very debatable, I felt that Shane should have done alot more when he had Cotto on his bicycle, he let an opportunity pass him by. Cotto Def won the championship rounds, very good fight and i was not mad at the desicion.

 

I had the fight scored 7-4 for cotto with 1 found even.

 

Cotto struggled in a close fight with Mosely. No shame in that, Mosely is a tough fighter. No matter how many times I watch it, Cotto wins, but just by a shade. Cotto did what he had to do against a troublesome opponent.
Margarito may trouble him as well, but in a different way.

 

he wasnt hurt. he may have been stunned for a brief moment, but definitely not hurt. nothing mosley hit him with landed and stunned him as well as the judah uppercut.

i could be wrong though. i'll be rewatching it also on hbo this week.

 

i think i had cotto up 4 rounds......it was a great fight, both fighters were looking Elite, which is highly impressive considering shanes age

 

I was surprised how well Cotto boxed against Mosley, even later in the fight when he was moving backwards he was still landing very clean and frequently. Mosley was landing his overhand right almost at will but not putting too many combinations together. Mosley broke Cotto at one point and forced Cotto to adjust and change his style and gameplan, which he did very well. I honestly don't think there should've been a winner in this fight because it distorts the truth here, and the truth here is that Mosley is just as good as Cotto yet ranked lower than him on the WW rankings and P4P rankings....after he proved to be equal to him, still, in the ring. Close fight, too close.

 

i'll definitely check that out when i can.

on another note. i feel you on the scoring more rounds even. i'd have to watch the fight again to see if i could score more rounds evenly.

i often wonder to myself why more rounds arent scored evenly,

how do you justify a round being even?

 

This is a fight I would love to see again.

I had Cotto winning - but just like everyone else - I thought this fight could have been a draw. I didn't have Cotto winning by much.

And I think Shane hurt Cotto with a Body shot - just can't remember.

Would love to see them do it again.

 

I thought Cotto won, a draw wasnt out of the equation, but I think Cotto did enough to get the decision without to much to-do about it.

Beware....looking forward to Saturday night my friend????? Try and keep thos chicken wings and Corona in your mouth when your shouting at Cotto to stop Margo, and I'll try and do the same when Im shouting at Cotto to win "nicely" :good

 

Margo's a dead man walking, its too bad too because I like him and the "illusion of the beast Margo" is good for boxing and I'd hate to see it destroyed by a real killer. :yep

Mid-late rounds I'll be doing some celebrating at your expense! :hi:
