But I reckon if it had gone the distance Cotto would have won a unanimous decision. This would have been a terrible thing to happen......I was wondering if anyone knows how the judges scored it and if you had scored the fight what your score card read
Job biscuit (Great fight which will go down has a classic)!!!!
eh eh!!
two of the judges had it 6-4 for Toni and one had it even. But what scares me is that the announcers were driving forward such an incredible campaign for Cotto it almost seemed like they were trying to prepare you for the scorecards and make you think that it could have been scored a cotto fight. I was thinking up to that point when they said what the scorecards were that If TOni had not knocked him out he would have been robbed.
If Cotto doesnt go down in the 11th and it would have gone to the scores, thers's no way you can call it a robbery.
You obviously are very happy for your guy and understandably so but those early rounds were all Cotto. Yea he was fading fast and going backward but he was still landing often with much cleaner and crisper more telling shots so for you to say robbery is just ridiculous.
Tony won and he deserved it. If Cotto was evr gonna lose, I'm glad it was to a class act like Tony. That took away some of the sting for me since I'm a Margarito fan as well.
