Stop saiying COTTO 25 times a sentence. You're not very clear.
That knockdown did hurt him and it was a 100% legit knockdown. A knockdown is a knockdown and it was a very crucial moment. Clottey only won 5 rounds.
It was a clear knock down and know one said it wasn't legit. It didn't hurt Clottey. Clottey got up and wasn't wobbled. The begining of the 2nd round clottey was clearly dominating the fight. The spokemans was hoping Cotto would do something to get the crowd back into the fight. Clottey won more than 5 rounds. Who face was busted up after the fight besides the cut. Clottey didn't have a mark guy. Please you got to be kidding me. Cotto won the fight and thats realy that. Just got through watching the fight again. Im going off what I saw and not the crowd. Clottey out landed Cotto, more accurate and crisp punches. The 6th round, Clottey was in the corner and still getting the worst of it. Cotto got some punches in but most of them blocked. I don't think in boxing, you score arm punches. LOL Look at the six round on youtube. While in the corner, Cotto was getting hit with 5 punch Combos and at the end look who was wobbled. I let you have the joy of posting the 6th round unlest your just want to overlook it. Throwing punches get the crowd excited and the judges. Who landed makes a whole lot differents. New on here and don't know how to post youtube fights. Maybe you can post it:0)
This fight was great to watch live I saw so much action . I was real nervouse that they would stop the fight with the Cut over the entire eyebrow that looked scary and I was so proud that Cotto did'nt chose to take to the score card and instead fought it out. Great fight that I had Cotto winning but a draw was also in my mind. Cotto did great considering that Bad Cut:boxing:
Cotto won the beginning of the fight, he won the end of the fight, he knocked his arse down(these are all crucial) plus he fought through a very bad cut which is the reason the fight became close, while Clottey was moaning and bitching like a little fookin fairy all night. Waaaa my knee waaa my head.
Cotto obvious winner. 115-112.
Cotto got the first round knock down wich didn't hurt clottey. LOL if you believe cotto won the rest of the fight. Clottey won most of the fight. When cotto won the fight, he didn't act if he realy believe he won. Some are more excited then he is. I bet cotto is saying, dam I could have lost that. Cotto(oh well) I can't even see a rematch.
Let's keep it real. I believe clottey won the fight and kelp the crowd out of the most of the match. Clottey didn't close the fight like he was fighting for his country. After the win, cotto didn't look as he believed he won him self. This is not the cotto of the old. People kelp saying, cotto had all these off the map boxing skills. Didn't show last night. Cotto is not a complete boxer. Clottey robbed himself and had the in his hand. Cotto shouldn't give him a rematch. It's not cotto fought, clottey let the fight slip away. Cotto won the fight. With clottey out of the ring for a year, got the feel back, cotto would be crazy to fight him again. Next time it will be worse. No rematch and clottey need to leRk a lession.
Great fight! I scored the fight for Clottey even though I like Cotto just based on what I saw. You could make the arguement for Cotto too but from wat I saw Clottey was never going to get the benifit of the doubt and he should have realized that coming in.
man cotto had one eye and still went through and fought like a champ.clottey could have easily won and or knocked him out but didnt, so IMO he sucks he had so many chances to win and didnt. cotto won plain and simple with one eye. now imagine if he had two eyes he would have killed him, remeber he knocked himout just imagine with two eyes though. plus clottey cryed like a bitch ooo my knee oo my head, man get up and fight like a champ the way the ref said. clottey F*** off.
I reckon it wasnt as one sided as people are making it to be, either way the split desicion was the correct result.
But diffrent people see the fight diffrently so it could have gone either way.
I do think the cut in the eye hampered Cotto,and worked to the advantage of Clottly but he never made full use of it.
I also think Clotty coming in to the later rounds thought he had already done enough and he let go of the gas a bit.
He should have been fighting his heart and soul out in the later rounds givin the chance and position he was in.
But instead he was holding his defence up and going on to the ropes and making Cotto look better then actully he was.
Clotty was also leaving his rallies at the end of the rounds to late i noticed soon as he would here the sound for the last ten seconds of the round he then start putting the pressure on Cotto with alot of puches but left it too too late.
Overall Clotty only has himself to blame the fight was there for the taking but he didnt grasp it now i wonder when will he ever have a chance like this again!!
Cotto is a major track star and punch magnet.
Actually, you're a dumb ass if you stupid enough not to factor in he was fighting with one eye AND STILL WON the championship rounds...
Blame Cotto for being an overrated RUNNER with shitty defense and overrated power.
Yeah, he should just stand there with only one eye and go toe to toe - his corner could have stopped the fight in Rd 5 and Cotto would have won easily - but Cotto decided to man up - I agree, it could have been a draw and/or Clottey COULD have won...Blame Clottey...aggression also means you have to throw some damn punches and he simply didn't beat a one-eyed fighter in the championship rounds...deal with it
I won't say there is no way. I will say though that it is extremely difficult to get a decision over a big name who is currently a champ.
You have to dominate because if you don't you likely won't get the benefit of the doubt. Last night Clottey clearly landed a lot of clean and meaningful punches. I also thought that Cotto moved around a lot and in those instances was ineffective.
It's cool though. It just sucks for Clottey. He's not going to get any more of these big fights.
close fight but i have cotto winning, 115-112 because of the kd. props to the ref he did a great job, i remember he said to clottey "suck it up son" lol
The only thing Clottey won was the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role....

That is funny as hell!!!!!!! Clottey is a major Drama Queen....
Yeup. 115-112 Clottey. I'll watch it again later tonight, but there is no way I could've given that to Cotto - he just ran and ran, throwing ineffective potshots. Clottey, meanwhile, should've done more in the later rounds.
Still, we got our war. Fight of the year. :box1:
i love hopkins fans who score this fight for clottey on effecti agressiveness yet dont give calzaghe the win over hopkins when it was the same but calzaghe had a much much higher workrate.
I had Cotto winning the fight by a point, but I two of those rounds were close. I can see Clottey winning 7 rounds for sure. If he stepped up late he would have won on my card going away.
Eight rounds to four, Clottey won that fight, and like I said he would be he was robbed. Disgusting. The judges ruined a perfect fight.
why did he win? explain how.
Nah. Clottey was more impressive, but Cotto simply won more rounds.
I'll tell you what though....this fight was closer than Cotto/Mosley. I was there, and man was it crazy, I was sweatin. Cotto/Mosley would have been a robbery if Mosley was awarded the decision. If Clottey had gotten the decision I wouldn't have had a problem with it. But the dude just gave the fight away, he stopped throwing punches.
^^^ TRue...even kellerman said "clottey was the better fighter tonight, but Cotto was the better man"
