    Cotto deserves credit. That cut in the 3rd would have shaken most world class fighter's game plans. Try fighting with a wound so open as that and feeling punches ripping into it. Most fighters would retreat into their shell and box on the back foot for the rest of the fight. At least Cotto continued and still pushed the fight. For me that was Clottey's best chance of beating Cotto and he still couldn't up his game. No rematch, Cotto is the better fighter for me. Now he should get a rematch with that cheat Margo.

    Clottey was playing possum. He has no stamina so in the sixth he simply positioned himself against the ropes and rested, with his high guard. He wasnt hurt. And blocked most of the punches.

    Cotto deserved the win, Clottey threw away the fight with the last 4 rounds, Clottey fought so well the first 8 rounds then became inactive.
