Cotto-Clottey will look like Cotto-Abdullaev

[RisAri0]

similar styles... different mind, heart, and body... Clottey is alot quicker, smarter, bigger, and stronger than Abdullaev..

I agree with all that except the quicker part. I think Abdullaev is faster than Clottey. He could really let his shots ago. Especially when he was in there with someone other than Cotto.

I agree..although that was the only time I've see abdullaev (also saw them go at it in the olympics)..but the style is very similar..and to those saying Clottey is a bigger, stronger, and more powerful version of abdullaev...you're absolutely right..but Cotto is also bigger, stronger and more powerful AND more Experienced than his 140lb days..remember that!

difference is, Clottey make Abdullaev look like a midget.

The guy is the biggest fighter at Welterweight, easily.

Not even close. He's a decent sized welterweight, but not nearly as big as he's made out to be. Clottey being a super sized welterweight stems from the Corrales fight where he reportedly came in on fight night weighing 170. What people fail to realize is Clottey-Corrales was at a catch weight above 147, and when Joshua weighed in he was fully clothed. Against Gutierrez he weighed in at 158 pounds on fight night and only 156 pounds against Judah.

I dont know, Clottey himself said that he balloons up to 185lbs or something inbetween fights

I take that fight in short notice 1month so it was very hard for me to make the weight and on the day of the weigh i weigh 9pounds over so i have only 2hours to make 147 so after i make it the food, drinks and anything just go to my stomach easy so the day of the fight i weigh 175 but i told the person who weigh me to make it 170 pls are u people happy now and its pass so lets forget it cos its remind me of Corrales R.I.P

apparently this was confirmed by one of the reporters on this website. I mean damn, 175?

I know boriqua's are praying to Tito that cotto/clottey will be a replay of cotto/abdulleve, but its not. clottey is much bigger and more athletic.

Abdullaev was probably a little more technical, maybe a bit of a better puncher at the weight, but I think Clottey is quicker and harder to hit. Abdullaev is probably the best 140 pounder Cotto ever faced. He was a good fighter who really should have been undefeated going into the fight.

I never saw the fight, but I doubt Cotto is going to knock Clottey out. Anything is possible but I don't see it happening.

Clottey and Abdullaev have very similar styles. Abdullaev pressured Cotto and had that very tight defense like Clottey. Cotto had his boxing shoes on that night and boxed a terrific fight. Abdullaev is a powerful dude, but I would say that Clottey is stronger. Abdullaev is probably faster. Clottey is like a bigger version of him.

Cotto knows what to do with a guy like this. I just hope a better Cotto shows up than the one against Jennings.

I totally agree. i said the same thing, when this fight was mentioned to happend. They have the same exact style. The only difference is that abdullaev threw more and was a bigger puncher at the weight, and a bit bigger than Cotto. In the other hand, Clottey throws less, but is way bigger than Cotto, stronger not that much.

Look how everyone disagreeing with you is a Cotto hater.
