    Lopholes in clottey and cotto will make it interesting

    both have something that the other man can exploit.

    ive watched many cotto fights, and many clottey ones.

    cotto' defence is VERY open to uppercuts when he gets inside,
    uppercuts are something clottey is very good at. cotto's defence is usally the same, so we can expect him to get hit with a lot of uppercuts.

    clottey's defence is very high gaurd, which leaves his body open alot,
    and cotto loves going to the body.

    i think its a pick em' fight, but both men have the tactical advantage to exploit the others weakness.

    I think everyone knew that for the most part and that is why the fight is hard to predict and why I'm only taking 50/50 bets because I'll be rooting for Cotto but Clottey is not out of the picture. And fighters have a history landing uppercuts on Cotto, such as Margarito and Judah. And Clottey has been hit by body shots by Margarito and zab judah.

      Oversimplified analysis imo..But nonetheless it should be interesting....Before i wouldve said this fight was going to look like the N'dou fight but Clottey doesnt have the stamina and workrate like N'dou did in that fight. Clottey and N'dous power are comparable though imo..As much as i like Clottey and have said hes underrated i dont think he has anything for Cotto..Cotto's timing will be a big factor in Clottey not being able to get busy like he wants..
