This is the biggest BS i have ever heard.. Teddy Atlas saying that Clottey lost the right to complain about the decision he got against Cotto... Thats BS... He said it was like what oscar de la hoya did against Trinidad... Uhhh WRONG AGAIN.... Big difference Oscar ran in the last rounds. So did Cotto. So why didnt Cotto loose and loose the right to complain??? Boxing is crooked and always will be. Oh yeah and dont say Trinidad was comin forward with effective aggression kus he wasnt landing. But Clottey was. Somebody replied that Clottey landed 179 punches more. When Oscar out landed Trinidad.... Straight BS BS BS BS and more BS!!!!!!
It was all Clotteys fault...he had the fight there to be won and he stepped off the gas. Cant complain I scored it 7 rounds to 5 for Cotto anyway.
Actually, I agree with him. If you want to take the title you gotta do exactly that: take it. Clottey allowed Cotto to escape that fight when it was there for the taking. If you don't sack up and beat the body in front of you and earn that thing you lose the right to complain. Same thing with Dirrell.
In the post fight interview, Clottey said that he wasn't throwing as many punches cos Cotto was moving around too much, but the point is, Clottey didn't really attempt to throw punches. Does he expect his opponent to standstill!..
I thought Clottey won a close fight BUT he stopped fighting and gave the fight away. You have to fight the full twelve rounds!
Exactly you Weirdo..... Trinidad wasnt throwing punches when oscar was runnin. But they say OSCAR lost the right to complain... So why dont they say the same about COTTO who was RUNNING at the end of the fight... Sounds like Hypocrisy to me.
I agree with u, unfortunately Cotto being the favorite got a gift. I knew Clottey was going to have a raw deal when Cotto picked him up and slammed him and nothing happended to Cotto. I also knew Cotto fans would say Clottey did not do enough even though he outlanded Cotto convincingly. In boxing it seems the only way u going to win is if u KO the champion, so challengers just have to do that or go home with a loss and a moral victory knowing they actually won.
Oh yeah!!! I was mad at Clottey to for not going after Cotto the way i preferred him to. But i cant take the fight away from him because of that. He won more rounds easy. IDK its just krazy peoples perspectives on these fights
Your hella right about that... Or unless your suppose to be the next great thing in boxing... Thats why im saying no matter who you root for we should all be a fan of Honest scoring
Alot of boxing fans are the most biased creatures on the face of this earth and they will tell u they love the sport and are objective when viewing fights. THEY LIE!!!!
I had Cotto winning 114-113 with the KD in the first being the difference. Off the top of my head I believe I gave Cotto rounds 1,2,4,6,11,12
That is pure garbage. Anyone who believes Clottey outlanded Cotto by 179 punches is ******ed. NeckbreaknAiken is a liar.
