watch the Baldomir fight. It looked like Baldomir rocked him around round 8. Clottey did recover but it was noticeable. I believe Clottey was caught by one of those Baldomir rights and then effectively put up the guard until he recovered. I think this fight will strip away a lot of the talk about Clotteys durability. He basically gained this image against Tony Margacheato but I remember Margarito almost pulling put of the fight due to a badly sprained ankle suffered in sparring and then of course Margarito had actually hurt both of his hands in that fight. At the end of the fight you can see Margarito was really slapping with punches probably because of the pain in his hands(the cement pad must have worked its way out of position).
I just watched round 8 several times and didn't see Clottey show any signs of being hurt, period.
