My intention is not to knock him. I think he did well tonight. But at the same time, I disagree with people who say "Cotto is better than this". I think he did as well as he could do, because i don't think he's as good as some people say he is.
Clottey is a difficult customer to fight, hard as nails. Styles make fights, u cant say oh this person ....could beat etc Cotto bla bla bla. Lets see how many fighters out there could KO or look impressive against a brick **** house like Clottey. He aint a great boxer but he is so tough and strong. Cotto did well especially with one ****ing eye.
Yeah, I had it 115-112 for Cotto. I think Cotto could have stopped Clottey on the rope a couple of times if he had continued to pummel him. The first round 10-8 round helped a lot, but on my card I thought Cotto won ever without the 10-8 round. If not for the cut, Cotto would have on even bigger, perhaps a TKO or KO.
This was the least impressed I have ever been watching Cotto fight, and that includes the Margo fight (where his timing was outstanding).
you punch with you arms not legs.Clottey was perfectly fine and moving around. Clottey has been known to act a bit in his fights and this was no exception.
Yep, and that's because tools like Lampley are helping them to forget, and focus on Cotto's eye, instead. Clottey kept slipping because of the leg, IMO. Think Running Man knew JC's leg would help him run away? :roll:
