Re Clottey-Cotto, could round one have been 10-9?

[DaxxKahn]

I have no problem with 10-8. But 10-9 is also appropriate. Clottey was comfortably winning the round until he recieved the flash kd.

At minimum it would be scored a 9-8 if you wanted to give Clottey the round

It was 55-45% round for Clottey, he got knocked down so it's a 10-8 Cotto round. Neither fighter was dominating that round.

But with the 10 point must ystem in effect, it has to be 10-9 or 10-8, no? Now, I'm not positve about the ten point must system.

The consensus seems to be he was not dominating the round so it should be a 10-8. I'll buy that easily, but the one thing I will never agree to is that a knockdown atuomatically makes it a 10-8 round--though the knockdown here was solid enough to do that.
