    Comments

    * Margarito suffered from a severe sprained ankle only a week before the bout, and also had problems with his left shoulder as reported days before the fight.
    * Clottey suffered an injured left hand in round four, probably while landing a left uppercut. He immediately went into retreat and told his corner at the break.
    * Showtime reported this live, explaining why Clottey proceded to lose rounds five through eleven on all three official scorecards.
    * Clottey later admitted his hand was not broken as initially reported.
    * Data Boxing reported blows: Margarito 356/972 37%, Clottey 210/468 45%. Clottey led in controls 89, mostly defensive, to Margarito's 70, usually attacking. In the very busy 133 Events Per Round( Attempts + Controls), Margarito had a 65-35% advantage, due to his workman like approach.

      People tried to use the broken hand to give Clottey a reputation of a bad ass. A Brusied hand is nothing in boxing and now we can stop the broken hand madness!

      Cotto wins by KO

        I still think to this day that Clottey was more overwhelmed by Margarito's pressure and used the hand injury as an excuse. The only one in a cast after the fight was Margarito.

            LOL man these people are too much, before Margarito even fought Cotto all the Ricans said that Margarito got a gift decision because Clottey broke his hand and couldn't fight, so now all of the sudden they all say that he never broke his hand and he's not tough because he is about to face Cotto, the hypocrisy in these forums has reached it's limits. What a bunch of ****in' ******s wow

              Whether or not he broke his hand it probably hurt like hell. Who cares? Margarito got the W. But Clottey is a tough fighter regardless of if he broke his hand or not. If you can't see that then I don't know what to tell you.

                Clottey is tough, but I don't think the reason he lost was because of his hand. Either way he only lost by a round or two.

                    This is old too. There's a much gr8er and true reason to hate on Marg now, so the whole 'Clottey woulda won without the broken hand' bull**** is old and dead.
