Arum: Cotto-Clottey June 13th in MSG

[mellow_mood]

Even if that was to happen I think everyone here knows that it doesn't change the significance of the fight. He is still ranked number 3 or 4 I believe.

On a side note, I think this is a very very dangerous fight for Cotto and even though I want him to win, I actually think Clottey pulls off the upset. Either way, it will be a great fight.

yes it is..!!

but thats the only way.. bob is gonna reward him with pac... first he have to fed his lion.....


cotto needs to display his boxing skills.. in this one... but i think that clottey style is gonna be good for cotto.... he just better work in his stamina & work rate... and i think he will be fine!!!

plus.. is the only route to greatness for miguel...

its his time to push him self to the limit and clottey is the path!!!!

WHOOOOO! Espn is reporting it now too. It's in Rafeal's notebook. Looks like this is definitely gonna happen. HBO wasn't even interested in Cotto/Cintron, and Arum said Berto's out of the running.

MAJOR props to HBO for standing their ground and blackballing Cintron.

Awesome, really excited about this fight. I got Clottey on this one, he's gonna counter-punch Quitto all night long.

Definitely, the significance is still there with or without Clottey's belt, he's still a top tier welterweight.

And I agree, it's a very dangerous fight for Cotto, Clottey is big welterweight, very good technically, has a decent workrate, decent power, very good defense, very good chin, pretty much solid all around. Should be great.

Yea cause Cotto's gonna sit there to be countered all night like your boy was LOL.

Cotto IMO is going to be too active for Clottey's style. He isn't necessarily a pressure fighter but relies a lot on his defense which may not work to his favor against a fighter who's going to be timing Clottey's every move. Clottey's output has to increase heavily if he expects to beat Cotto. You're not going to beat Cotto with one punch.

It hasn't been finalized, but does anybody know when most likely tickets would go on sale? Next month? Thanks.

Breaking compu-box record of most punches ever thrown at Welterweight ain't necessarily being "inactive" you must have been watching another fight.
