    no, cotto is different

    first things first, i thought clottey won the fight close but clearly(although i believe he has himself to blame, he had chances to finish cotto off but chose not too). cotto's punches lacks the usual pop. he's slow on his feet as well as his handspeed. stamina is ****ingly ridiculous. his heart is the only thing good. i don't know if the accidental headbutt made him lightheaded or maybe he's just bothered by clottey's strength and power.

    PS: congratulations to clottey. he deserves big fights from now on.

    I give 'eem props like a mother****er for fightin' through that cut, but your right, I'm afraid. Or at least I'll say he's not the same fighter that mopped the mat with Judah's ass or the one we watched fight Mosely.

    Cotto was looking not az good az his old fight. I mean, i had this feeling that his punching power just disappear.

    I agree, something was off with Cotto in this fight. His stamina also seemed to wilt sooner than it has in previous fights. Looks like the Margo beating did indeed take a little bit out of him.

    that cut looks nasty and dangerous. he may have felt lightheaded with that cut, and the cut got worse as the fight goes to distance

    Its kinda hard to tell being that he fought with a pretty annoying Handicap.

    yeah. that cut was nasty. but he went through and last the distance. they could've stopped it and go to the scorecards. they chose not to

    I totally agree with you guys, his speed, punch reistance, and punching power seem to be gone. He looked tired early on.

    I know Clotty had to do something with that too, but he reminds me of Hatton, who after losing, appears not to be the same at all.

    Cotto fought for 12 rounds with a cut that would have stopped most fights. I had him winning by a round. But even if you didn't, the guy fought like a true warrior with one ****ing eye. To disrespect his performance shows a lack of intelligence or understanding of the sport.

    I can accept if you saw Clottey winning. Even if I disagree. ONE SIDELY??? Not even Clottey think that.
