yup. of course now clottey's saying he won the fight. what a joke. after this fight clottey pisses me off.
The cut was bad but it actually wasn't bleeding all that badly. I thought Cotto probably won on pts because of the knockdown/slip in the first round but Clottey definitely won the war. Clottey deserves a rematch
I felt it was only that close because Cotto was clearly having trouble with that eye. He kept saying the blood wasn't getting in his eye, when we could all clearly see that it was. He was wiping it away constantly. Cotto is a warrior, and he just won the fight with one eye. Don't want to hear any robbery crap.
Cotto fought the wrong fight IMO. He should've been backing Clottey up from the get go. As you saw here and as I've seen in several other fights he's very vulnerable when he's backed up against the ropes. He does nothing there but cover up.
I thought the same. Cotto had his best rounds when he came forward and let his hands go. Clottey doesn't do well when people throw at him because he just covers up. I think Cotto had a big problem with the cut and on top of that, I think deep down inside he may have had some anxiety in rounds 9 to 11. I think once he got past the bridge where he failed before (round 11), He loosened up.
What's so hard to understand? He was backing up the moment the headbutt came. Do you think that was a coincidence? He couldn't see Clottey's right hand.
Clottey had 1 leg after Cottos bodyslam and still beat the crap out of Cotto and made Cotto him run a marathon
atsch I love the General Forum, until the moments after a big fight. The amount of silly **** I hear, time and time again.
Clottey was perfectly fine and moving around. Clottey has been known to act a bit in his fights and this was no exception. Sides Clottey landed on his forehead which meant the rest of his body didn't come anywhere NEAR the ground.
Watch the footage. Cotto wasn't rubbing at his eye every 5 seconds because he thought it would make a good impression on the judges. It was going into his eye, and people are so ****ing surprised that the fight was close, and Cotto didn't look all that great. Common sense, people. Common sense.
It bled quite a bit during the fight (although forgive me if not, I'm watching this on one of those tiny ass streams) but I think honestly? It was more composure related. I bet as soon as the cut came Cotto said "Here we go again" and he might've had a small breakdown there.
Hard to understand... the **** are you talking about?! I'm saying that Cotto should've been backing up Clottey right from the start... even before the cut came he was attempting to outbox Joshua at center ring, ya douche!
