Clottey is a loser....reason why!!!

A lot of squabbling about nothing.

Cotto fought a smart fight. Smarter than Clottey in the championship rounds.

Clottey threw fewer punches, but landed more. When he turned the gas on, he was more effective than Cotto.

Very competitive close fight that could have gone either way. Attacking either fighter now is just killing time.

 

Both are B level and there's nothing wrong with that.

 

The replayed showed a definite push against an obviously off-balanced fighter. The headbutt was not intentional. And Cotto hit him behind on the head with plenty of time to hold back his punch. Cotto has been dirty before, he was dirty there. It wasn't terribly dirty, but was dirty nonetheless. Just like when Zab Judah hurt Cotto and Cotto hit him in the balls a few times...

You're playing the Cotto nuthugger card. I'm actually a huge Cotto fan. I go to see all of his fights.

What I'm disgusted at is how people defend their fighters NO MATTER WHAT. Cotto showed heart with fighting with a cut, but he was also running away from action. It wasn't strategy. It wasn't, "Oh, maybe I should circle the ring running and counterpunch Clottey." Cotto was blatently losing those rounds, because he couldn't take the cut and Clottey...Call a spade a spade please. Mayweather doesn't run away and lose rounds like that. Give me a break.

And to call Clottey names, be better than that. Look what he did in the ring with Margarito after 8 rounds of fighting with a broken hand. Cotto couldn't take Margarito's shots, Clottey did with a significant injury.

Sure the cut changed the fight. I don't deny that. But by the same token, when Cotto threw punches, they literally had no effect on Clottey. Give him credit where it's due.

Don't insult the man. To many observers, especially those ringside (who weren't HBO guys on Cotto's nuts), Clottey won the fight. And the judges sit ringside, not in front of a TV with biased commentators.

Ringside, Clottey won it.

If Clottey was the hyped up fighter named Cotto, and Cotto was named Clottey, the decision would've been COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
