This fight is 50/50, different people have different picks. I personally don't really have a winner and can't argue with whoever anyone picks, a draw is also fair.
I'd like to see the fight again without the headbutt. I can't get mad at either opinion I had the fight 114-113 cotto looked like **** but damn that mofo got heart and a shotgun jab that saved his ass by putting clottys ass on the canvas for an extra brownie point
I don't see what the big deal is, I, like most everyone else, thought that Cotto won, it was close but clear.
A point or 2 to Cotto or 1 to Clottey or a draw is fine. No robbery. Only contraversy is the judge who had it 116-111. However, im postulating if Clottey had a similar cut the fight would have been very different. A badly cut Cotto either just won, drew or just lost against Clottey. A healthy Cotto would probably have won quite comfortably.
I agree, after a re-watch tho, I gave both fighters 6 rounds a piece w/Cotto winning a 10-8 for the 1st. resulting in a 114-113 for Cotto on my card.
Exactly...I actuall thought cotto was measuring his distance and playing great defense until the cut occurred ...it changed his whole game plan and caused him to fight in spurts similar to clotty which is what caused such a spotty fight with several close rounds. Cottos well timed jab putting josh on his rear gave him the fight. Cotto has an excellent jab I think its better than anything in his arsenal.
Who cares what hopkins said.. He aint the head honcho.. Alot of people thought Cotto won, including myself.. I didnt think it was controversial at all.
:goodthe man had a very bad cut which impaired his vision for ten rounds.cmon people.if cotto didnt have that cut we wouldnt be talking about how close this fight was.
