Will Cotto Run From Clottey Like He Did Against Mosley And Margarito?

[ShalafiV.2]

I'm really excited about this fight, big time. There is no chance in hell Clottey is going down or get hurt against Cotto, his defense is top notch and his chin and body are pretty solid, just ask Tony, he hit Clottey with bombs downstairs and although you could tell it took it's toll on him he was never close to go down except like in round 9 that he pinned him really good against the ropes and in one occasion a sneaky left upper he got in between Clottey's tight guard.

I think this is going to be a very intriguing fight, I think if Clottey pressures Cotto he will break him, it won't be a Margarito-Cotto fight because Clottey's handspeed is much superior and more of a marksman than Tony is, so most likely Clottey will win by a flush KO not accumulation of damage, but If Clottey just plays defensive then I see Cotto winning by UD.

cotto could be fighting a the mma guy with no arms or legs and you would find a way to give the torso the benefit of the doubt.

Cotto boxed and had some nasty exchanges wit SSM and Marg, he wasn't runnin. Cotto will stick n move against Clottey, but not nearly as much as he did wit Marg.

This was asked on another forum, what do you think? Clottey a strong, rugged, 170 on fight night.

cotto is going to have to potshot, because his stamina is poor, luckily for him clottey gasses too.

Since Cotto has the larger work rate I give him the Stamina advantage.


Big surprise?

1. Clottey is overrated
2. He won't be 170 on fight night
3. Cotto is not a runner
4. Cotto will win

no, but cotto should definitely lower his work rate and consider this a 12 round fight.

if the KO happens cool, if not who cares. if the crowd boos, so what; atleast he won't have to quit again.

lol @ you!!!!!

Definitely but he is now gun shy and doesn't have any kind of chin to stand up to shots. Expect low blows.
