Cotto-Clottey, thoughts?

After Paul Williams beat Carlos Quintana and they interviewed him. He said "what's up Miguel Cotto". Well I don't think cotto is ready to fight williams, he'll lose.

 

I've just re-watched it and heard your shoutout!!

i would have loved to have seen the fight progress without the cut on cottos eyebrow. imo i think the headbutt was intentional. clottey knew what he was doing. i think clottey was going to be outsmarted by cotto and felt it necessary to create an advantage. so clottey changed the fight altogether by doing so. instead he made cotto retreat and fight a more defensive fight than cotto had planned. i knew that clttey was going to pose problems for cotto to begin with. i think clottey is an all around better puncher and has way more power in his left hand. i love the way he fires hooks to the body and head. i do think clottey was also trying to get an oscar nomination with his dramatc overreactions. still the story of this fight was the heart that cotto showed which in my book ranks among the best. he truly showed us why he is who he is. as far as scoring the fight i feel that after the cut clottey outboxed cotto. lots of right hands were landing for clottey due to cotto being visualy impaired which had me scoring more rds for clottey than cotto . clotteys guard was so good that cotto was mostly hitting gloves. one of the judges scored it 116-111 for cotto. which is absolutley ridiculous. im not sure he was watching the same fight . 114-113 is more the tale of this fight . and cotto did get favortism for 1. knocking down clottey in rd 1. which didnt hurt clottey it just pissed him off. 2 . cotto is the reigning wbo champ 3. cotto never went down and 4 . cottos cut man did one hell of a job of preventing skull exposure. cuddos to him . all in all a great showing of heart. i would like to see a rematch without a cut of the magnitude that was involved here.
