    It was such a close and exciting affair that a several outcomes is possible and you cannot rule out anyone scoring the fight a draw or a razor close win for Mosley.


    I myself had it a draw. You can make a case for Cotto trying to outbox Mosley in the later rounds but I gave it to Shane for I saw his aggressiveness much better than Cotto's movement.

    In fights like these, there are borders of being acceptable scores. Those 116-113, 115-113(2x) for Cotto are okey, so does if you got it 114-114, or 115-113 for Mosley. If you exceed that, then something is wrong.


    It's very simple actually.

    I had Cotto by 1 point. I don't think a draw or very close Mosley victory is absurd.

    That's my point. Some posts I've read seems you cannot score the fight any other way than a Cotto victory.


    @Chicago: don't miss it. The fight is worth every cent. :good regardless of who you have winning.

    I agree 100%.

    Was a very good fight . Mosely showed he still has the goods and Cotto showed he has great timing and can box as well as the usual come forward/swarm.

    You will definately enjoy the fight.

    im really not trying to stir things up but i got to be honest, nobody i watched it with, and me, would not feel it would have been right if mosley won at all... no matter how close. big props for coming on strong at the end... but too little too late imo, cotto deserved to win the fight.
