    Definitely not.

    That's the wrongest answer so far, and because of the word 'clearly.'

    I initially picked Cotto by close UD. Yesterday, I changed my pick to Clottey by close UD.

    And watching the fight I scored it 114-114.

    I can live with either guy getting the victory by a point.


    But the word CLEARLY does not apply to this fight in any way, shape or form.

    Cotto by 1.

    I could have voted Clottey, but the cut that Cotto fight through for 9 rounds is impressive enough to make it a draw. But the round 1 knock out, edged Cotto a bit for me.

    Cotto won the fight the 1st 6 rounds were all cotto he was up like 4 rounds to 2 after 6 then clottey controlled the middle rounds then cotto won the last few rounds...add in the 10-8 round from round 1 and you have a close cotto victory.

    Pretty even fight they should do a rematch and hopefully Clottey's b*tch ass wont use his head as a weapon

    It should of been a draw, but Clottey's inactivity in rounds 10-12 cost him, so I scored the fight 114-113 Cotto.

    Clottey by at least 2 pts... A 1 pt win by Cotto is also acceptable not a 116-111 score.

    Yeah, I had it 115-112 for Cotto. I think Cotto could have stopped Clottey on the rope a couple of times if he had continued to pummel him. The first round 10-8 round helped a lot, but on my card I thought Cotto won ever without the 10-8 round. If not for the cut, Cotto would have on even bigger, perhaps a TKO or KO.

    Clottey 114-113

    Could have gone either way and the decision was fair.

    Cotto Thought it was a pretty clear close hard fought fight. Considering the cut placement, and which eye was cut, and how obvious it was that Cotto couldn't see clean, Clottey SHOULD have won, but he didn't.. he didn't do enough late.
