    Just rewatched out of interest. Nowhere near the whitewash that I remembered, probably because I had only been watching boxing for half a year or so. Very competitive I had 106-101 for Pacquaio. Gave Cotto rounds 1,3,6,8. Almost gave the 11th but I thought a few Pacquiao straight lefts made the difference.

    Thing that I did not remember was just how biased HBO crew were that night. F-ck, they were biased. Cotto snapping Manny's head back with jabs, landing solid left hooks and crosses. But all you hear is "second coming of Henry Armstrong".
    Cotto blocks a flurry and lands a counter left: "Manny is a machine".
    Cotto dances around the ring and potshots Pacquiao in the 8th: "Cotto looks like he's given up".
    Cotto blocks and slips a flurry against the ropes: "Miguel can't see the punches coming, the corner should stop this" :patsch

    It was a great fight, and a great performance by Pacquiao but jesus, HBO suck. If you listen to audio only you would think Pac-man put a picture of Cotto on a speed bag and hit that for 12 rounds.

    I co-sign this thread 100% Cotto did way better than people admit, and the HBO commentary was horrendous that night, I only watched that fight twice cause of how stomach turning biased they were

    All of what you said on top of a gift stoppage...................

    I don't remember exactly but I think I had pac up 9-2 at the time of the stoppage. But those 9 rounds were dominant rounds not close.

    Think I gave Cotto two rounds. Have not watched it in a long time but wasn't Cotto down in the third so I don't see how you can give him the round. He did well the rest of the round but you can't score the round for him.

    Cotto only won the first round.

    It was a flash knockdown, and I thought Cotto did more than enough before and after to win the round but gets a point taken for the KD. It would be 9-9 but under the 10 point-must system I had 10-10. Cotto won but got knocked down.

    hmmm. I've never seen anyone score a round even when it included a knockdown.

    Without it it was defiantly a Cotto round.

    My one remaining thought from that fight is that Manny couldnt cut off the ring.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that's how you scored it. If I gave Manny 10-9 I would credit him with i gift point he didn't win. I gave Cotto 10-9, then took a point for KD 9-9, but its 10 point-must so 10-10.
