they robbed clottey

Yep, they robbed Clottey. It was the judges fault that if Clottey had thrown some punches and landed them he would have won the 12th and squeeze out a draw, but it was Cotto who won the last round which had him winning by 1 point on one of the judges scorecards.

With the sarcasm aside, it's not a robbery.

Why the hell would he need to squeeze out a draw when he won. He could have won 10-12 and still only managed a draw when he clearly won 5, maybe could have had 6 rounds in the bag by the ninth round...even Manny had the tone of "What fucking fight are you two watching" in reference to Lampley and Kellerman clearly ball licking Cotto all night. Even tried to suggest that cotto's people have the doc stop the fight because they felt he was up on the cards. What a bunch of HBO bullshit...

Domination? It seems like the majority on this board saw it as a very close fight and so did I. Let me ask you since Clottey was landing the right all night, why did he shy away from it on the latter rounds and wasn't agressive anymore since Cotto was getting nailed with it from all the blood that was seeping in his eye? Especially in New York with Cotto's fan base and Cotto is the WBO champ?

I thought Cotto won and Clottey threw it away. Hated seeing him trying to get Cotto dq'd aswell.

Turned into Didier Drogba at one point and threw himself to the ground.

If Clottey hadn't of spent round 6 on the ropes and actually made an attempt to launch an attack in the 11th and 12th then he would have won.

Credit for Cotto fighting on and remianing competitive with a cut that was arguably as bad as Barrera's against Khan.

[Lance Uppercut]

I had the fight scored for Cotto by 2 rounds. Clottey essentially quit in the last 3 rounds and just stopped trying to win.

[Jesse James]

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...

thats it...

It was a split decision, though the 116 111 was ridiculous, it was not a robbery. I had cotto by 1 round and i was rooting for clottey.

Round 1 i had for clottey till he got knocked down

Clottey also gave it away when he decided not to through in the 12th and some other rounds
