    Book it and lock it.

    He may not KO Clottey because Clottey can go in his shell defensively, but Margo will dominate JC as he did for the last 8 rounds of their first fight. Not sure if Margo will set yet another CompuBox record against Clottey in a rematch.

    I picked Clottey to win tonight, but he looked like ass. He is not nearly as good as I thought he was, not busy at all, and now it is certain to me that his hand injury was not the reason he got his butt kicked by Margo after the 4th round (and Margo had two injuries and a long layoff before the fight).

    Clottey's tough and his defense is tight, but he really looked unimpressive tonight. I thought he would dominate Gab but Judah had him pinned in a corner at the end of the 8th and Zab was much busier and made the fight, IMO.

    Margo has to beat Williams or Santos for his own legacy, its simple, no more 5'6 guys, fight someone your own size ans win impressively.

    This is true, for sure. But Clottey's lack of punches thrown + Margo's enormous volume punching = Margo by UD and another new CompuBox record.

    For all the people who were hoping Clottey could defeat Margarito, it's time for you to hop on the Paul Williams bandwagon because there is no way in hell Clottey will defeat Margarito anytime soon.

    the sad thing I saw tonight is that Zab Judah do not believe in himself anymore and it looked at him as if it was okey to lose this fight !?!? what zab needs to do if he desides to keep fighting is drop to 140 take a few tune ups to win back some confidence and start to believe in himself again, then go for the belts! much respect for Clottey who looked good tonight and won the fight fair and sqare.. I think margarito, williams, cotto and mosley needs to look up for this guy! goodnight

    100 percent agree. Clottey's lucky he caught Antonio on an off night, and even then he couldn't pull off the upset.

    Part of me would've LOVED to see Judah win so that Margarito would've gotten the chance to KTFO the loudmouth punk.

    I think Margarito will win a decision. He aint busy enough to beat Margarito. He is too stationary and that's perfect for Margarito who throws a hundred punches per round.

    Santos has nothing to do here...we're talking welterweight supremacy. Maybe, if and when Marg unifies the titles, a fight with Santos could happen for the sake of avenging his jr. middleweight loss. He has bigger fish to fry at his own weight class.

    Zak, agreed on both counts. Clottey's hand excuse has been revealed for the farce it was. The guy just doesn't throw punches and is tailor-made to get another CompuBox record set against him if and when he rematches Margo.

    I have to say for myself, I very much overrated Clottey. I cannot believe how much trouble Gab gave him.

    True, but generally the best style to fight against a volume puncher if you can't outbox them is a slugger; however, Clottey has questionable power, and considering his relatively low output anyway, would likely lose another UD.

    With that said, Clottey is a hard mother ****er, but not quite as hard as Margarito.
