    No clue...Been trying for a while to find out her name but no luck. The letters you see in the pic say Rick Cutrone photography - if you google it, you'll find the link to the website and theres some good looking females in it.


    You're still a douche by the way :-(

    Hey, we all have our opinions. I'm not trying to make friends based on false pretenses. I just call it like I see it.

    She looks Middle Eastern, maybe Iranian, Lebanese or Egyptian. Whatever. She's hot. Thanks for the tip on the photographer.

    Important thing to remember about the "takedown" is that Clottey tried to grab Cotto because he slipped on the Tecate logo in the corner, when Cotto went to push Clottey off Clottey was already in the process of falling down.
    That GIF is missing the 2 seconds beforehand where you clearly see Clottey getting all wobbly, completely lose his feet and his balance.

    if you can jump to the conclusion that Clottey's headbutt was done on purpose

    then why not come to the same regarding the Cotto slam? my point being if people are going to say "Cotto threw Clottey off him"

    why not acknowledge the fact that Cotto pushed his right glove off Joshua's back.

    under that criteria why even say Clottey fell down on his own?

    taken from an HBO article regarding the incident

    "Clottey continued to do serious damage in the fifth, but was thrown off stride and down to the canvas by a Cotto move that looked more like MMA than boxing."

    and if it's not a slam, or at the very least dirty then what is Cotto's right glove doing pushing Clottey's back down .. could you explain that? since everyone wants to call Clottey's head butt intentional, how about the right glove pushing down.

    and to retort the "Clottey fell down" article .. here's one from Dan Rafael

    "There was a bit of pro wrestling in the fifth, when Cotto was lucky that referee Arthur Mercante Jr. didn't disqualify him after he body slammed Clottey to the canvas. Clottey had moved inside for a clinch, but Cotto lifted him and threw him down virtually face-first."

    Of course you have no problem with Cotto low blows. No one ever does. He gets away with this **** all the time. Anyone else and everyone is up in arms.

    ^ that's what im saying, if the circumstances were reversed people would be up in arms regarding the whole "slam"

    again im not making Cotto out to be the dirtiest fighter in the game

    but you post a source that is saying Clottey fell to the canvas

    I post two that says Cotto threw him to the canvas.

    Some of these posters on this board I think really are mentally sick. Don't think clearly, just post to instll a response. Look at that gif again, why is Clottey trying to jump on Cotto's shoulder? Why? How would you like it if someone is trying to jump on you, what would you do? Hold them and say you love them? He tried to do the same thing Urkal did. Cotto didn't even throw him, he turned to get the damn guy off his shoulder. Clottey sits there for what seemed like minutes as if he can been killed. Gets up finally, says he is hurt buying time, yet not even a minute later he is moving around fine. Why is that? Now they are complaining about a low blow in the 12th round, which ironically landed on the belt line very clearly.

    In round 6, Clottey hit Cotto low, Cotto says absolutely NOTHING. As if, I don't care. But people like this, I bet you loved it didn't you? "Yeah, low blow". When Clottey headbutted him in the 3rd, I bet you were extremely happy about that weren't you? You wanted him to butt him in the other eye too, right? Finally, now they are complaining about this punch behind the head. I saw a replay of that shot, they showed a clear wide angle of it. Clottey is grabbing Cotto's other arm when he turns around voluntarily and Cotto actually hits him to the side right behind the ear! Right in the ear area, which is legal LOL. You say you lost respect for Cotto, when in reality, you probably didn't have any for him to begin with.

    First of all they beadbutted each other. It was clear from the replay that Cotto and Clottey were both moving into each other the same way. It was unintentional.


    Second, there is no way to justify the way he threw Clottey down like that. And then some of you people act like he was faking his leg injury. It's a double standard.

    Cotto is such a warrior for fighting with one eye, but Clottey was just faking his leg injury. Be objective, man. Be objective.

    I think you are right about that.


    I also think anyone saying Clottey deployed a deliberate headbutt but that Cotto fouls were accidental need to take a long hard look at themselves.

    But it doesn't make any given point any more or less right than it is.
