Why have 3 judges when two of them don't score it for the guy you're rooting forBoxing politics.
The Calderon Mayol fight should have been a draw. Neither had time to do jack. The cuts were unfortunate in both fights.
At least Cotto didn't quit because of the cut and finished the fight. He didn't do a lot of running after the cut, but before the cut it was obvious he was trying to stand his ground and not get backed up.
The one thing I don't agree with is that Cotto could not see. He said himself he could see but you can not blame him in the slightest for changing his game plan and not getting involved as much as he may have.
Anyway back to the topic. I thought Mayol was very unlucky not to get the verdict and Clottey although not doing him self any favours in the final couple of rounds did outland Cotto in the fight so you could argue a case for him. However in no way were both results a robbery.
Tip of the month: Protect yourselves at all times. You never know when the scheming bitch will come back for more.
calderon is a sissy, he had i tiny cut not enough for him to be blinded by the blood. i wish they did not stopped it! cottos cut was much worse and they completed 12 rds.
mayol had difficulty getting his range and had a hard time scoring too. so i guess the decision was alright for both mayol and clottey.
If you look at the cuts, Calderon's cut was nothing compatred to Cotto. Props to Cotto for continuing and taking it like a man. As for Calderon..he goes way down in the P4P list imo.
Did Cotto win in my in my opinion? I saw it more of a draw. Cotto boxed more but Clottey was the agrressor all through out. I think Clottey was definitely the stronger fighter. He could have finished Cotto anytime round 8 and above. Hence, for me Clottey lost a golden opportunity. I dont know if he got bad advice from his corner. You are in Puerto Rico. You are fighting a champion and yet you dont go all the way when you had a chance? The announcers kept on wondering why Clottey did not want to throw punches. He was not hurt at any time during the fight bar the 1st round flash KD. Cotto was blind and fighting on instincts. hmmmm...
