This hasn’t been a fight where anyone has fought poorly. Canelo Alvarez looks good, Miguel Cotto looks good. The difference has been Canelo’s power, at least thus far. He can hurt Cotto, not sure Cotto can really hurt him without a perfect shot.

Cotto draws the ire of the crowd by complaining of a shot to the kidney about a minute into the round. Cotto still on his toes, moving, but that’s not going to get it done at this point. Alvarez fighting with total confidence now, knowing he can do enough eye-catching stuff to neutralize anything that Cotto produces, or seemingly so.
Cotto in control for the first two minutes of this round, though. He’s working more, and Canelo is sort of giving the round away a bit. Whether that’s strategic or not, I can’t say. But Cotto is doing well this round, even if it’s not anything flashy. Canelo springs forward with a wicked body shot, and that hurt Canelo a bit. Cotto with a hard right, but Canelo lands a couple more. You could score this round for Alvarez, but we’ll give it to Cotto on activity over two minutes of the round.
SB Nation scores the round 10-9 for Cotto, 96-94 Canelo overall.
