    Judah got a cut and Clottey takes UD on the scorecards.

    I thought Clottey would dominate tonight but I actually think Judah was getting the better of the fight.

    There is no chance in hell Clottey beats Margarito in a rematch. I definitely overrated Clottey.

    Judah is tough for anyone early. Clottey did what everyone has done before him. Started punishing him and hurting him. Zab quit and took an easy way out. Clottey should of won by TKO.

    "Unimpressive"? :lol:

    Judas IS very difficult for anyone and Clottey was busting him up ready to END that fight when it was stopped. He was up 5-3 and was dominating the 9th. What the F fight were you watching??? :nut

    I picked Clottey to win the fight and thought he would dominate, but he really looked like crap.

    He will be chewed up by Margarito. Now I know that fight was not a fluke and his getting owned for the final 8 rounds was not about his hand injury.

    He's not nearly as good as I thought he was.

    nonsense. clottey took everything judah had to offer and smiled at him.

    judah quit, and then acted totally ignorant and childish in the post-fight interview. he was losing the fight and on his way out, got cut by a punch, and then took the opportunity to stop it while he still has a chance at winning the decision. there was no way hed win after 12.

    i vow to stop betting on zab judah fights, this is a total ghetto street thug, he belongs in rap videos and prisons, not in elite sports. i had a bet on clottey to win by tko/ko/dq and lost it b/c of zab who then complained after the fight and called himself the people's champion. what a disgrace.

    joshua clottey is pure class and pure grit. during and after the fight he conducted himself like a pro and gets robbed of a devestating ko win by this Alopecia Areata ****.

    What????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Man, I'm sorry... but you are LOST.

    "Chewed up" by a guy he was beating before breaking his hand? Margo is not THAT much better than he was when they first fought. I mean, c'mon. :huh

    He looked like "crap"? Are you remotely serious? He was fighting a very unorthodox guy in Judah. Judah fought very well and Clottey was still about ready to send him into la-la land if it wasn't stopped. Judah knew he was about to get fuccin wrecked.

    Man... you aren't close on your assesment of Clottey overall. He is an extremely underrated boxer that is a problem for anyone. ANYONE.

    This is ****ing shameful!! I never thought any of my favorite fighters would ever quit. **** I lost alot of respect for Zab. The cut on his right eye wasn't even close to being shut, yet he says he can't ****ing see? Bull****!

    Oh and Zab was NEVER close to winning that fight.

    Clottey should've won by TKO. I accurately predicted a TKO in the 9th for Clottey, but I didn't expect the end to be like this. Never in a million years.

    I had it 6-2 Clottey, I thought he did a pretty good job of landing his shots on a speedy boxer like Zab. His right leads were accurate and his uppercuts really affected Zab. I was expecting Clottey to go to the body more and eventually wear Zab out en route to a TKO in the 9th, but while he was going to the body, it wasn't often. But then again, he was pretty succesful with uppercuts and right leads, so I guess I couldn't blame him.

    Good performance from Joshua Clottey. Distasteful ending.

    I thought Clottey was quite impressive to be honest, he was busting Judah up.

    Dude, you don't know what you're talking about.

    Look, I thought Clottey would dominate tonight, but he looked like sh*t. There is no way on God's earth he will ever defeat Margarito. Forget about it, it is not happening.

    I don't know if you're a Clottey 'hugger or whatever, but it's over. The guy isn't anything close to what I thought he was. Zab is garbage, especially at 147, and he was giving Clottey fits.

    Clottey's defense is tight. His chin appears solid. He's in great shape. The only thing I could see costing him is that in the few fights I've seen, he is a very slow starter. In some rounds, he is almost inactive. He goes into his defensive shell and barely throws. At the highest levels, I can see that costing him rounds and potentially fights.

    He doesn't throw nearly enough punches and I'm not sure that he's mentally the strongest guy, either.

    Clottey looked like sh*t. No one was more surprised by that than I. But it's the truth.

    Margo or Williams will own Clottey.

    Agreed. There were a couple rounds tonight that Judah won just because he was throwing punches. That fight shouldn't have been anywhere near as close as it was.
