Will be easy for NOBODY...
Clotteys defense is too tight for Cotto to hurt him, but he often doesnt throw enough which will leave Cotto opportunity to out work him.
Cotto is going to be looking to go for Clotteys body, because his head will not be available 90% of the time... and when Cotto goes to the body, Clottey will be looking to counter shots immediately, with FAST left hooks and uppercuts.
Another thing, people saying Clottey will stop Cotto because of his pressure. Clottey CAN apply pressure, but he is not a pressure fighter. Clottey is a defensive first, counter puncher... who looks to take advantage of whatever it is you do. Occasionally Clottey will take the lead with a quick powerful jab, and a fast left hook to the body.
With Cotto's boxing skills and body work... Clotteys tight defense, fast hands, and CLEAN combination punching... this fight will be a CLOSE fight and easy for nobody.
On top of the fact they are BOTH hungry, Cotto wants to be back on top with a win over an elite fighter (Clottey is elite imo)... and Clottey wants to FINALLY be on top, the way Margarito did when he came to fight Cotto.
This fight will be close, it will be competitive, and nobody will win this easily.
Neither man is coming to lie down, and they are both capable of beating each other.
The only thing I am betting on, is this fight goes the distance.
