Cotto vs Alvarez live

[IamInuit]

I scored it 9-3. Canelo foight a smart fight and won clearly. He was mugh better than I thought he could be.

I scored the fight right here and I cant see a rd for Alvarez in the first 4 and he started to show up mid way. I had Cotto winning slim and thought there could be a draw so the WBC might gain some respect but the cards were bunk. Its like every close rd went to Alvarez. I just cant see anything close to 9-3

See i do not get how you can not give a round for Ginger in first rounds and then bitch about the judging it seems weird to me that you say the judges scores are bad and gave all early rounds to Cotto. I mean Alvarez was dodging most of the punches and landing hard body shots just doing better.

What fight were you watching? I'm not questioning your actual post but canello is certainly not ginger any more and he would probably be quite offended if he heard you dismissing his dye job

Glad you got up to watch the fight batman. I went to bed.

I got to say though i did not see Avarez boxing this well i mean his defense was something else he was dodging most of of punches and doing most of the fight. Also batman i had no idea he dyed his hair or maybe that is a joke and i am not getting either way Alvarez won easy anyhow.

The scorecards were dreadful. I thought it was a fight of two halves and as a result was pretty even. Cotto started better with more activity and sharper boxing, whilst Canelo came on in the second half. Canelo was bigger and landed the harder shots, but Cotto outboxed a bigger stronger man in the first half.

First things first. Canelo won the fight, and my congratulations to him and his team. He fought well enough to win, although I thought the scorecards were excessively wide. Still.... he did a great job, and my hat's off to him. He also spoke very well during and after the fight. He's got a great future ahead of him, provided he keeps his discipline and fights at the weight he's meant to fight.

No regrets from Cotto's effort, though. He fought his heart out, and did the best he possibly could. It turns out I was right. The size, age, and power difference were just too much to overcome. Cotto outboxed Canelo in several rounds, hence my opinion that the judges were, albeit predictably, very unkind to him.

Cotto has nothing to hang his head about. He lost to a bigger, stronger, younger, up-and-coming fighter in what to me was a great fight. If he were to walk away from boxing at this point, he's had a spectacular HOF career and has nothing left to prove. Cotto haters are elated, of course, but hey you can't win them all. I was happy with Cotto's effort, but willing to accept the defeat.
