Cotto vs. Canelo: Juan Manuel Marquez believes bout was a draw

Despite just about everyone believing that Canelo Alvarez's decision win was the right call, Juan Manuel Marquez believes it should have been a draw.

Last night's mega-bout between Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez was an exciting bout that featured a few close rounds, but Alvarez used his size and strength advantage to take over later in the fight, and he took a wide unanimous decision victory. Most boxing pundits agreed with the win, even if they they thought the scorecards (116-112, 119-109, 118-110) may have been a bit wide.

One person that disagreed completely with the scorecards was Mexican veteran Juan Manuel Marquez.
