Entertaining fight. Classy end.

 

[Ether_Snake]

8-4 Canelo.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Not sure how the judges are going to score this. Canelo landing the harder shots but only single punch's no combo's. Cotto the busier guy, am surprised hes not gassed, his movements been high throughout the whole fight.
Neither man troubled though

My take away as well.

 

[mr2xxx]

Canelo got this.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i wouldn't be surprised with the judges.

I am an Alvarez fan, so happy in the end

The only round I had definitively for Cotto was the first. The rest could go either way and I had more of them for Canelo. He landed way more impact, effective punches. This isn't the kind of fight you can judge strictly on raw punch count.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Based Mayweather taught him well.

Canelo looks like a real boxer now.

.

 

[Officerrob]

9-3 Canelo

 

[PR_rambo]

Really impressed by Canelo, he boxed well, utilized his physical advantages and did not even half to hurt Cotto to win this fight like everyone thought he had to.


I hope he fights Golovkin

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Yeah Canelo easily wins this. Damn that dude is such a bad ass fighter. Bring on the GGG fight! Much respect for Cotto too. What a chin that guy has wow.

 

[Hands of Stone]

Golovkin slaughters both of them, Canelos stamina is still one of his biggest weaknesses

 

[ramoisdead]

Now that's a boxing fight. Best one I've seen in a long time.

 

[v1lla21]

Good stuff. Cotto can take a goddamn beating.

 

[Tater Tot]

I call it Canelo by controversial decision

 

[smurfx]

i think canelo landed the power shots and won imo but its pretty close. it definitely isn't a blowout win. maybe a round or two win fight.

 

[Officerrob]

Please give me Canelo vs GGG

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

I liked the fight, but man doesn't this just show how good mayweather is?

 

[theignoramus]

Canelo came alive damn.
Cotto deserves props for eating some serious power punches without mentally collapsing.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

If you shined a black light on the ring you'd see Mayweather's DNA everywhere.

Canelo got that.

 

[Frog-fu]

I got it 7-5 for Canelo.

 

[Tubie]

Yea and one guy called me delusional for scoring it 10-2.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Now that's a boxing fight. Best one I've seen in a long time.

Wilder vs. Stiverne was the best fight I have seen in a minute.

 

[Kelsdesu]

Cotto gonna hold that.

 

[No Love]

i think canelo landed the power shots and won imo but its pretty close. it definitely isn't a blowout win. maybe a round or two win fight.

Absolutely a blowout. 9-3

 

[Barbacoatl]

Now we here mothafuckas. Stay salty beotches.
Cotto is an absolute beast no doubt, but canelo is the future.

 

[Officerrob]

Yep, not close

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I can't be mad at those numbers.

 

[studyguy]

No surprise. Props to Cotto though. Hell if a fight.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Canelo won, but he is certain to lose against GGG.

 

[smurfx]

hmm don't think it was that much of a blowout win. guess the power shots impressed the judges much more than cotto's work rate.

 

[Tater Tot]

I call it Canelo by controversial decision

I fucking knew it. No way that it was that big of a blow out but it was an interesting fight.

 

[Tubie]

hmm don't think it was that much of a blowout win. guess the power shots impressed the judges much more than cotto's work rate.

That's how it always goes.

 

[Beefy]

Shame they met when Cotto is old. He can take a beating though.

 

[PR_rambo]

I liked the fight, but man doesn't this just show how good mayweather is?

To be fair, I think Canelo has improved. He's boxing at a higher level now.


Still, it was impressive that he was utterly ineffective against Floyd, he was that sharp

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I fucking knew it. No way that it was that big of a blow out but it was an interesting fight.

This isn't controversial at all tho.

 

[Wazzu]

Mexican?
I assumed that anyone scoring the fight 5-1 Canelo after the first 6 would have to be cause that is delusional

Oh awkward....

 

[loki 16]

I call it Canelo by controversial decision

I don't think it was controversial at all. Canelo dominated the whole fight.

 

[theignoramus]

Absolutely a blowout. 9-3

I gave cotto 4 rounds.

 

[MANGOD]

Yea and one guy called me delusional for scoring it 10-2.

That is, fight was closer than that

 

[Officerrob]

I fucking knew it. No way that it was that big of a blow out but it was an interesting fight.

Nothing controversial about those scores

 

[Frog-fu]

Don't agree with those final scores. Canelo had it but it was not that lopsided.

 

[Wall]

Good win for Canelo. Cotto aquitted himself well though.

GGG looms.........

 

[TuXx]

Had Cotto winning. Isn't the first time they gave Canelo a gift decision.

 

[Tubie]

That is, fight was closer than that

No it was not.

 

[Prompto]

Don't agree with those final scores. Canelo had it but it was not that lopsided.

119 -109 does seem lopsided but whatever. Canelo was the rightful winner.

 

[alterno69]

Cotto did nothing IMO, maybe got 4 rounds tops.

Canelo holding back shows how much he's grown, Cotto never stood a chance.

 

[ramoisdead]

Wilder vs. Stiverne was the best fight I have seen in a minute.

Well I don't follow boxing so much compared to before. Gotta see the tape on that.

 

[Officerrob]

Had Cotto winning. Isn't the first time they gave Canelo a gift decision.

Get your eyes checked

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Judges went for power only,

Uk announcers all agree the decision is a farce, much closer.

7-5

 

[Syphon Filter]

I had it 10 - 2 for canelo. Early it was close but canelo took over after.

 

[PR_rambo]

Had Cotto winning. Isn't the first time they gave Canelo a gift decision.

It was closer than that, but Canelo absolutely won
