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.

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.

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.

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.
