Cotto Vs. Clottey Predictions!

[phoneboothboxer]

I do not think champ is referring to that, but I don't think he will hurt his hand again. When I used to box, I learned the first time.

i think you're right... i think clottey's a much smarter fighter now... he landed on judah pretty nicely, and cotto can't move as good as judah...

If Clottey is active, I see him KO'ing Jotto in 10 rounds, if he just stays in a shell and counters I see Jotto winning a UD.

What would you know the only time you seen Clottey fight is when fought your plaster boyfriend. You don't know **** about boxing, you're just an enfatuated grouppie.

Cotto will TKO Clottey late, Clottey will get broken down.

Heres the facts, Both guys are bull strong, Clottey Really bulks up after the weigh in as high as 170lbs! Cotto has the big fight experiance and the fight takes place in Cotto's House - MSG! But he also has some things going on behind the scenes (the fall out with his uncle) and has trained in a new place with a new trainer even if it is a familuar face. Both guys really want this, Cotto has big fights on the line and something to prove (mabey even to himself) and Clottey feels as tho he has been overlooked and will grab this chance with both hands! Speed is roughly the same IMO, Power go's to Cotto but Clottey CAN hit regardless of what people are saying and his chin and Defence are better than Miguels so if they go punch for punch im of the opinion that its The African who will come out on top, But Cotto is the more skilled fighter and of course has those Brutal Body shots, Joshua can dig to the body pretty well himself tho and his left uppercut is a worry as its the punch Miguel is most open for.

Im expecting Cotto to feel him out in the first round and then proceed to BOX em from range occasionally blasting Clottey with his combinations But Clotteys defence and pressure will enable him to catch up to Miguel at times and then we got a FIGHT! But Cotto can Really fight so even on the inside he can hold his own, i see him fighting and when he has to and boxing when he can. Clottey has good 12 round stamina IMO he just takes breaks, this might cost him on the cards against Miguel and his steady work rate tho.

Ultimatley i see Cotto having the greater variety and imagination and pulling out a tough UD, Clottey may slow late due to the body shots but he is a HARD man and will see it through.

I worry about Head clashes tho, Clottey is pretty rough and has a bad rep i just hope Cotto dont get cut via a butt

Great post! I agree that a head butt could be dangerous for Cotto. I can also see Cotto pulling this off if he plays it smart and boxes the guy. If he doesn't it would be a rough one. Cotto needs to be focused in this fight, and not back away or show weakness if Clottey doesn't go down when he lands a few good bombs.

This is Clottey's big opportunity. I think he'll come wit 12 rd endurance and UD Cotto 7-5 in a very tough fight.

Do you think he could match or even do better than Cotto punch output wise?

I think this could be alot like an advanced version of Cotto vs N'dou

Cotto is strong mentally, he will just keep ****ing away!

Imagine if he did KO Clottey though, unlikely, but that would be the ****!!!

I know it's strange but I got the feeling that Cotto will win by late KO. Anyways I know he will win just not sure the KO will happen.

Hopefully he does get a KO, but I think this would be one of the hardest fights he will have...not including Margy!
