they robbed clottey

[RozzySean]

I was rooting for Cotto but I thought Clottey won the fight. Clottey did screw himself by not doing much in the last couple rounds, but he had enough rounds in the bank as far as I'm concerned. I remember seeing Lederman's scorecard and thinking "wtf?" because he gave Cotto a couple of the earlier rounds that I though Clottey clearly won. Besides for the 1st, 11th, 12th, and the round (I forget which) where he had Clottey pinned in the corner, I thought Clottey won basically every other round. Bottom line, a rematch is definitely in order.

Another thing was clottey won the entire first round and with the KD it should have been scored 9-9...

This is one of the best point in the thread. That could have easily been a 9-9 round. Also, when Cotto hit Clottey in the back of the head (accidentally), it affected Clottey and it wasn't the first time. I'm sorry, but when Clottey got taken down early in the fight, Cotto pushed down on the back of his head. He was also hitting Clottey with borderline low blows and a few legit low blows all night and he was never warned.

It wasn't a robbery. It was close fight. I give Cotto all the credit for not quiting after round 4 and rolling the dice with an early decision, Jesse James Leija style.

Still, Lederman and I'm sure some of the judges gave some rounds to Cotto that Cotto did not win. He got too much credit for punches the bounced off Clottey's arms while Clottey was hitting him clean. It wasn't a robbery, but there was some poor, inexperienced judging. Again, the trend judging fights only by punches thrown continues.
