Cotto Vs. Clottey Predictions!

[D-Omonist]

cotto by decision in a tough as hell fight that cotto barely survives.

Could see that happening, but Clottey is a good opponent.

[Maestro USA]

Clottey will pressure him, and won't be hit back. He's too big, has very tight defense, and with good hand-speed. He won't break down.

Arum has been putting his fighters in with a lot of bums lately. I suspect he wants to get rid of Cotto, which is why he didn't have him fight Cintron instead.

Clottey by UD

[Silencers]

Cotto by decision. The danger in this fight is in the second half for Cotto, sort of like Taylor-Froch except I expect Cotto to get through the tough moments.

[Bad~JuJu]

I'm picking Cotto to win via decision but I really don't know what type of pace we'll see in this fight. I can actually see Clottey neutralizing what has been one of Cotto's best weapons, that jab. Clotteys hands are almost always held high so that jab might be landing on those gloves alot thus lowering Cotto's connect percentage. Conventional wisdom then implies that this leaves the body open, Now my question is how confident will Miguel be in letting his hands go to that body. Now when Cotto goes to the body I can see Joshua countering with the hook or an upper, both of which seem like Clotteys best weapons. I'm going with my gut and saying that if Cotto boxes well he'll get the decision, but I think Clottey might stun him with crisp counters on the inside. Also Miguel should circle more and not pull straight back like he did in the Margo fight and was constantly with his back on the ropes. Any way thats just my opinion as an average boxing fan.

Still callin it a Cotto UD.

Need a bet still too, any of u boys picking Clottey got the stones to back it up???

Well looking at their records, I think Cotto definitely has more experience, and more KO's than Clottey. I think he is the favored in this fight, but the dilemma with his uncle might get in the way of his focus.

[TRAVI$]

Tough fight, with Cotto slowing Clottey down towards the end and getting a UD.

The dilemma with his uncle could be a problem but "Home" Advantage should level the field

Cotto took a beatin' a little less than a year ago.......the type of beatin' when he had to take knees to stop the punishment he was gettin'......plaster or not he got beat down.......Clottey has NEVER been beatin like that so that takes care of who has the better defense.......back to that beatdown Cotto caught.......hass he recovered?......is he the same?.........did his prime get beaten out of him? is he in decline?.........I guess Jennings supplied the answers to those questions .........I admit that Cotto is the more fluid boxer meaning the more active.......maybe he's a little more slicker and faster but in boxing timing is everything......and Clottey has Cotto as a opponent at the right time........too many unanswered questions about the 2009 version of Cotto..........Cotto is a warrior but Clottey is a HUNGRY or better yet STARVIN' warrior and when the part of the fight comes when the left titty has to kick in you'll see Cotto go back to that place he was 2 fights ago.......I got Clottey and I bet ALL my points on that because thats how I roll!!!........WAR CLOTTEY!!!
