CC Back man, and true this could mean anything, I was only stating what I thought to convey how behind Cotto I still was even when I thought Malignaggi was winning on points.

The classic phrase boxing judges use is they "reward the aggresor" or at least give him the benefit in the doubt with close rounds. Therefore even though not all of Malginaggis shots were clean, he was still through his enormous workrate mainting the attack which should be rewarded, especially when Cotto was not generating much.

I, like you, rate damage and accuracy more however, hence why I gave Cotto the last rounds. One thing with my scoring that may have affected it is I NEVER give 10-10 rounds as a rule. However last night there were many I could of scored like this, but instead I gave to Malignaggi. The rounds that Cotto won, Ill agree, he won by a clearer margin.


Your fighter came through in the end man, and against a fighter whos style was a complete mismatch, thats the mark of a true champion. I cant wait for Cotto, Hatton and Mayweather to start facing each other. Hopefully itll end up like the welterweights of yesteryear who all made a point of facing each other so often. I believe all would be great fights with Cotto Hatton being a barnstormer.
