Cotto just beat Clottey with one eye.

You talking crap about "Cotto fighting the wrong fight". The moment you get headbutted, and the blood starts seeping into your eye (as the footage clearly shows) Miguel made the right adjustments late on. If he had engaged Clottey he would have walked onto those right hands he couldn't see.

 

The double standards on this forum is sickening. Cotto is getting criticized for not outclassing Clottey, basically. How can you dominate at the highest level with only one eye? He started to get on his bike once the blood started impairing his vision, and had he not been on the backfoot, he would have ran into so many right hands until eventually being knocked out.

Miguel got the decision in a fight that could have gone either way, and he did it going through advertsity. This should raise Cotto's stock, if anything.

 

Don't try and fit me into a stereotype, J.R

My history on this forum has no indication of me supporting Cotto. One of my fondest memories was Margarito getting the win against him.

I'm a fight fan, first and foremost, and the amount of flack Cotto is getting is ridiculous if not typical of the General Forum. He had one eye, that's not up for debate, and yet he's supposed to operate at his peak despite this? :verysad

 

I disagree.

Clottey took his foot off the pedal, and I think I had Cotto winning 3 of the last 4 rounds based on clean punching.

 

Cotto wanting to quit? He told the ring doctor a bare faced lie just so the fight wasn't stopped. I won't judge Cotto as a fighter on this performance, because I had eyes and I know if I had to fight a guy like Clottey with only one of them, I'd have looked twice as bad as Cotto did.
