Cotto vs canelo score cards ?

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I have to be honest I wanted Canelo to win but I could only make a case for giving him 6 rounds at best. I thought he lost the fight. Just wasn't enough from him over the first two thirds like I thought would be the case. So I was scratching my head at the end of the fight at those scorecards.

I had canelo 9 to 3 or I thought case for 8 4 is also reasonable, blocked a lot or made cotto miss and landed the far better punches, seems like I am in the minority on this but that is how I personally saw the fight.

I had it 9 to 3 as well. Alvarez defense was very good. He blocked and rolled with a lot of Cotto's punches. When Cotto did land clean, Alvarez walked right through it. Cotto on the other hand felt it every time Alvarez landed clean

[ruthless rocco]

8-4 Canelo.

The 6th round was the only round where I thought Cotto looked like he may have a real chance in the fight. After that he was done. Competitive, but done.

9-3, 8-4 is about right

7-5 seems close

It was a good fight. Canelo out-landed Cotto, but not by much. Not by the way Floyd out-landed Canelo. But Canelo deserved the nod.

[Addicted to_boxing]

I had it 7 rounds to 5 but could have easily given more to Canelo. Another boring fight promoted as a "war". I think Cotto's past is what hurt him. A warrior came to fight as a dancing fairy. Welcome to world of Mexican stereo typing. No Mexican fighter has ever been able to win rounds jabbing and back peddling the majority of a fight and none will ever seems only black fights are able to get away with that crap.

I think Canelo won about 10 rounds i do not see how Cotto would get rounds missing puches while going backwards i mean if he was out landing and hitting harder i coudl see it but he was not. Canelno was dodging most of what Cotto through at him and landing big body shots which think people are underrating really. Canelo has beaten Trout, Lara, Kirkland and Cotto now he cleaned out alot of the top guys and his defense is getting way better. I am pretty high on ggg but if he can not hurt Caleno who seems to have very good chin he might be in some shit with the Ginger and for every saying they are worried about Canelo facing him well the man faced everyone worth a shit thats his weight. I see some negative stuff on the guy but he has done nothing but face the best and win most of the time what else you want from him.

So a Mexican man fights a Puerto Rican man and you feel the need to belittle the accomplishments of black men? That's sad, what the hell is wrong with boxing fans? Every day with nonsense like this, pathetic, absolutely pathetic. I think I've reached my limit with this nonsense. Nobody wants to simply acknowledge the truth, everything is a BS narrative, say it enough times and it's the truth right? Sad fucking state this world is in.

In all fairness, it wasn't only black men. In one short, ignorant post, he managed to belittle black fighters, Puerto Rican fighters, and homosexuals. It takes a certain amount of "talent" to be able to do that.

[Sleepwalker]

The scorecards were definitely De La Hoya-esque. Nonetheless, Canelo won the fight decisively, although he did fatigue toward the end of many rounds. I thought that was very obvious. He really needs to work on his stamina if he plans on hanging in there with heavier guys.

Same - I had it 9-3 Canelo; I could see 8-4, or 10-2. I can't see much closer than that though.

I thought Canelo looked terrific. I am one, who doubted him at first, but with his wins over Lara, Trout, Kirkland, and Cotto (to me, all were clear wins), I'm gradually becoming a fan. He hasn't dodged challenging fights. He seems pretty real.

[p4pking]

I think sometimes people tend to want to see cards reflect how competitive a fight was, rather than who actually won the rounds. Haven't watched it again or anything, but I'd agree that Cotto won between 2 and 4 myself. Only the one card was off, but what would boxing be without at least one Stevie WOnder scoring a top fight.

[Fenster]

I had Canelo a comfortable winner. The old boy couldn't put a dent in him and seemed happy to get to the finish line.

[THE THIRD MAN]

I had it 116-112, competitive early, but as the fight went on Canelo was landing heavy power shots while Cotto's punching had no effect on Canelo at all. It was a good fight, but the genuine bigger man won clearly. I give Canelo a chance against GGG.... a better chance than anyone else going around. I expect to see two fights, GGG will find it tough knocking him out.
