the look in his face said it all last night....His confidence is shot...I think he was having Margarito flash backs last night....
and for the record I picked Cotto to win by UD.... I was wrong....he's is NOT the same fighter anymore.
cotto is still great, but he isnt the same,
watch how good he is in the mosley and torres fights,
even the first 4 rounds of the margo fight,
and compare it to the clottey fight.
cotto didnt look confident in his face,
IMO he jus didnt look the same.

I agree. Lampley tried to convince us that Margarito was just a ghost to Cotto, but it was clear to me that his KO loss to Margarito still affects him.
Clottey was barely throwing anything and Cotto was backing up like crazy. There were times when Cotto had Clottey on the ropes and Cotto backed away himself, he was definitely worried about getting KO'd again.
I had Clottey winning a close decision but I think he should blame himself (or his team, HBO barely showed Clottey during the round breaks, so we have no idea what his team was telling him to do) for not putting out the extra effort towards the end of the fight.
