Cotto is marketable. Cotto has a strong fan base. More people want to see Cotto fight than see Clottey fight. Cotto generates more money than Clottey. Cotto has a more pleasing style than Clottey. Cotto makes more exciting fights than Clottey. So one score card was off. Thats why.
The other two cards were legitimate.
Clottey isnt stupid. Or maybe he is. He admitted how difficult it would be a to win a decision in MSG but still took off the final, most important rounds of the fight then tried to pull some whining that made him look bad in front of everyone. Its not Cottos fault he won, it's Clotteys fault Cotto won.
Cotto looked a hell of a lot more gassed to me and he kept throwing punches. Couldnt Clottey tough it out and let his hands go a bit? Thats his own fault!
