Can't blame Joshua Clottey for that ? the way your making it sound, is that Joshua Clottey knew the exact scorecards during the fight.
Joshua Clottey gave the fight away in the last 2 roudns end of, forgetting what the 2 judges had it.
Joshua Clottey let his foot off the gas and he should of pressed the advantage he had.
I never at any point see Joshua Clottey "dominating" Miguel Cotto. I see him take tactical advantage between the 7th and 9th rounds. By landing good right hands and right uppercuts.
The 10th round was debatable and in the last two rounds for whatever reason, he took his foot off the gas and was outboxed end of.
of the first 9 rounds how many would you have given to Cotto?
By the end of 9 Cotto was already ahead to the point of Clottey needing a knockout to win. So its not worth complaining that Clottey didn't do enough or that he gave the last 2 rounds away. Even if he'd won the next 4 rounds he'd have only gotten a draw.
Sorry Majesty but thats a pretty bad way of thinking IMO, its not like Joshua Clottey knew what the scorecards were during the fight. He lost the fight simply because he didn't show a real champion's desire to win end of.
Yes 116-111 was a terrible score, but Joshua Clottey didn't know that, and even if he did know he couldn't win a decision.
Why didn't he try for the stoppage win ? why did he take his foot off the gas ? its nothing to do with the scoring. Its Joshua Clottey showing his mental flaws again which has shown up in the past aswell.
I wasn't actually scoring it RBR i will score it tomorrow or whenever i get a copy, but the impression i got was that Joshua Clottey. Was in a position to maybe score a knockdown.
Or really come on strong down the stretch, but he gave away that advantage and was simply outboxed. And thats really it when you think about it.

you won the bet fair enough, but you drinking the kool aid if you dont think 116-111 was not BS. lets put that into perspective.
Clottey could have kd cotto 2x in addition to landing the cleaner more effective blows that rounded out his all arount accuracy. the majority of Cotto's punches hit GLOVES
Basically that moron judge was taking a sh#t for 5 rounds and was scoring the oh's and ah's from the toilet
