Why Clottey beats Cotto

I don't know..I stopped right there tbh..

 

Cotto via Outclassing.

 

:happy

 

My man Braveheart is a brother...nice try though

 

this is what i think ....clottey will have his hands up in the turtle shell defense but i think cotto's punch input is going to be the factor i see cotto throwing a fair amount of punches to give the judges somthing to score ...cotto will be getting hit with some hard punches i give it to my boy UD:good

 

thats why my boy winsdeal

 

That's actually a terrific post aj415, but I've personally already acknoweldge Clottey has the style to give Cotto serious problems. The thing is that you've just described why Clottey's style is going to be difficult for Cotto to beat him. That doesn't mean that's how it's going to go, for example, what happens if Cotto is able to break Clottey's rythm with his superior jab? What if Cotto decides to attack the body when he's counter punching himself (remember, Clottey ain't the only counter puncher in this fight). I don't think Cotto will be making the same mistake of staying on the ropes, and if Cotto is moving well (and just enough, not over doing it) I doubt Clottey will really land his trademark uppercuts. Clottey walking him down also opens him up for Cotto counters, and there are other factors, but I'm about to head out. To sum up my point is that Clottey does have the style advantage, but great fighters are suposed to adjust, and if Cotto is the fighter many think he is, he will be able to do what he needs to do to beat Clottey. I personally haven't made an official pick because I want to make a good analysis, but I'll do it in summer when I have more time. Who knows, I might end up picking Clottey, but from what I have on my mind as of now I'm giving a slight edge to Cotto :good
