    That left hook Cotto landed early in the round stunned Clottey more than people think

    Hard to say. Cotto hurt Clottey in that round though. We need a GIF.

    I think Clottey was hurt for a bit. It's not realy possum if you don't fire back affectively after the onslaught.

    exactly. maybe tyson was playing possum against douglas when he got his ass kicked but he still got his ass kicked.

    round 6 is the easiest to score, cotto beat the **** out of him. Clottey's periodic smiles confirm it

    It was a great round for Cotto but not as dominant as Lampley and Cotto fans make it out to be. There are actually some clowns on this board who say that round qualify as a 10-8 for Cotto.

    Clottey was still recovering from his leg, and he couldn't really move out of the way, he wasn't hurt by Cotto, he was still throwing punches back.

    It had absolutely nothing to do with Clottey being temporarily immobilized from being body slammed in the previous round.

    Cotto fanboys ***** about people acting like the cut didn't exist, yet conveniently forget that contributed to Cottos' best round.
