He lost a gimme round against David Diaz also..I can't remember which round. It was close though 12 clean rounds against Clottey, 11 rounds against Cotto, 8 rounds against ODLH, 8 rounds against David Diaz. All in 2 years. Pac is firing on all cylinders. Its not that anyone's outboxing him but he's not clearly hurt either.
I don't know how anyone can say Cotto won the 1st round "clearly". I actually scored it even, but maybe I'm biased. They landed they same amount of punches, so the only thing that made it even was because Cotto punches were as Lampley put it, "solider". Is that even a word?
I think he just wanted to stress out that it seems almost impossible to win a round vs Pacquiao lately. He's right.
I gave Clottey the 3rd round, thinking "oh look, he has some success with that right hand, lets see if he can turn it up a bit". :verysad
No. How is it impossible, if Cotto did it recently already? You only have to go back one fight to find an example of Pacquiao losing a round. This is a bad thread.
OFFICIALLY speaking (compiled from boxrec) the consensus judging of Pacquiao's last 4 fights against DLH, Hatton, Cotto & Clottey... Manny fought a total of 34 rounds. Judges have him winning 31 of 34 rounds. 4-0 (3KO)
Cotto landed the cleaner more effective punches. He was also commanding the fight with his jab I thought. Definitely a Cotto round.
I gave 2 possibly 3 rounds to Cotto in that fight. Last night I could see maybe 1 round but also a case for a shutout
Yeah i gave Clottey one round but it was close. Cotto took a clear round 1 But if your talking the last time he was put under pressure himself was the Marquez fight which was March 2008 which 2 years ago.
