Serious Cotto vs Clottey Thread

Very close fight, had it 114-113 for clottey, I don't agree with the other scores but accept the SD.

:bbb A rematch would clear things up, so i'm all for it.

 

Joshua Clottey, 114-113.

 

The 2 point first round was a huge difference maker. The rounds that Clottey won, he won big, but the swing rounds were marred with too much inactivity to make a convincing case that he should have won the fight. Cotto showed a ton of heart continuing the fight with such a nasty cut for so long. When Cotto worked the jab and stayed on his toes, he was domintating the action, but when he stood in front of Clottey, he got stuffed with straight rights repeatedly. Not Cotto's best fight regardless of what HBO says, but a good example of his warrior spirit.

 

Most definite rematch needed if the cotto fans want there boy to redeem himself..
I'm being honest...He looked really sloppy.:deal

 

I thought Clottey won, but tomorrow i will watch the replay and play judge, i thought it was a great fight, in the late fight i thought Clottey was gonna stop Cotto ala Margarito but Cotto showed a lot of heart tho

 

I had it a draw. Clottey landed the cleaner shots but when you seem happy to go to the ropes and let your opponent fire into you, and stalk without throwing shots, youre asking for trouble.

 

i ahve 113 - 114 Cotto but i was rooting for clottey to win, dumb ****er not consistent on his punches on the last stretch

 

he looked really sloppy may i remind you he had a ****ing cut about 2 inches on his eyebrow any one is going to be sloppy people dont relize how much that **** hurts but what do they know there ass was on the couch eating chips watching the fight saying he is sloppy come on dog show cotto some respect

 

Same here.....I'm so sick of people who feel to the need to denigrate one fighter to prop up another. Both guys fought through adversity and earned my utmost respect.

As for Clottey, I was shocked and suprised he didn't step up the pressure in the championship rounds especially knowing Miguel scored that first round knockdown. Maybe he felt he had enough rounds in the bank. With his accurate jab, he should had a bullseye on the cut over Cotto's eye.

It was close but that first round knockdown made all the difference in the world

 

Cotto did impress me by workin' through the cut.

Clottey coulda made a huge diff. by bein' more active in the last 2.

And yes I'd like a rematch.
