    I only have him winning 1 and 6. He wasn't landing clean, Clottey had the more powerful shots. Watch it on mute with out Lampley's commentary. Even that big round 6 he had he wasn't really landing. Clottey was lacing him with that uppercut & combos when he was actually throwing. I give more weight to defense and clean punching.

    It's called acting my friend. He was on the floor crying like it was broken and in about 1 minute he got up and was bouncing n following Cotto all over the place. Kind of like when you twist an ankle and walk it off. He was trying desperately for the ref to deduct a point off Cotto for the low blow n rabbit punch (which you can blame Clottey for turning himself right when Cotto was about to hit him). Clottey has no one to blame but himself - he was fighting against an opponent with a handicap and still couldnt finish strong. :bart

    Fair enough. The running is pretty ****ing disgusting.

    ok once again comparing the rounds are stupid
    ODL threw like no punches in the last 3 rounds basically, didnt trade, and wasnt in one spot for more than 4 seconds.

    Agree. Anyone with eyes could see that Clottey landed the harder shots. And that Cotto barely did anything himself the last 3 rounds but run.

    Cotto deserves credit for fighting for almost 10 rounds with such a bad cut. It affected his performance without a doubt.

    Did you watch the Video I put up? What are you talking about, Cotto mimmicked DLH in the Clottey fight as well as the Margo fight (he just thought he was getting hit with hard punches). He ran at the end because he was in trouble, and he also gets dirty when he's feeling the heat (look at Zab, Clottey). Like I said before I give Cotto props for not quitting with the cut but you can't defend the running. If that was Mayweather, Paul Williams, Calzaghe, DLH all of you Cotto & Tito fans would say that they were punks for running. That's my point.
