150K saying that the fight goes the distance. IF CLOTTEY OR COTTO GETS KO'D, I PAY YOU.

Come on, somebody man up

[Heru]

Some of you are picking Clottey to win?

Okay, that's fine.

But how, exactly, will he do this?

Clottey needs a stationary target to be at his most effective.

When has Cotto shown himself to be stationary?

Even when getting the piss beat out of him by Tony, Cotto was still on the move.

And some of you are picking Clottey by KO?

Clottey couldn't even KO a shot, blown up, at the end of his fighting career Diego Corrales.

What makes you think he's knocking out Cotto?

This fight is a 12 round decision if I've ever saw one.

In favor of the more versatile fighter ; Cotto.

Let me start this off by saying I got Cotto taking this one. I can see why people think Clottey will win:

Clottey has shown he can hit a moving target because Zab Judah was not stationary. Joshua was landing straight rights while Zab was on the move and while he was giving Clottey upper body movement.

Cotto will stop to punch and won't be able to stay on his bike for 12 (as Margarito showed, duke was exhausted mentally and physically) so he won't be stationary only.

Cotto is susceptible to uppercuts; especially when he goes to throw body shots (it's how Margarito stopped him from throwing to the body), Clottey throws pretty good uppercuts.

Clottey's defense is very good, so as long as he is in that shell Cotto won't be getting much (if anything) through.

Clottey lands eye catching shots (like another poster already said) and when other fighters have landed on Cotto it's real visible.

I'm pretty sure Clottey has had the best training camp of his career. If he can average 55-60 punches per round he'll be winning this fight on points.

Just like in the Margarito fight, if Clottey finds a home with his punches and can take Cotto's shots...Clottey will tax that Rican chin. Clottey has faster hands than Marg and they're probably just as accurate.

Clottey can win this if he doesn't get broken down. As long as he has some subtle movement and can put his hands on Cotto's chin and body consistantly, he can take this.

[kristiany]

Yeah, also if Cotto doesn't throw any punches at all he might win. lol.

[MaYaN_SuN]

Yeah, also if Cotto doesn't throw any punches at all he might win. lol.

That would help..

Nah but if Clottey's durable enough, I think he has more then enough in his arsenal to get to that soft chin.

Will see man, I called Cotto winning in the 9..

[MaYaN_SuN]

Will see man, I called Cotto winning in the 9..

lol That's not really a surprise...

But I can see Cotto winning this more clearly than I can see Clottey winning it. Just cause I don't know how tough Clottey is gonna be.

It's not like Cotto could of stopped Judah.. Without the 2 low blows SMH

Judah had cotto shook in the first, he is lucky Zab didnt finish his ass in the first round.. I dont remember Judah ever making Clottly even Wobble in their fight..

My memory is a little hazy.....who one that fight again?

[Silencers]

I'm not picking Clottey but here's how I think he can win this fight, even if Cotto moves on him, which Cotto should do.

He needs to use his jab and come forward behind it and the high guard, bring that jab back in quick because Cotto will counter with something sooner or later. Keep Cotto moving or punching, don't let him take a break, keep those arms up and tight when Cotto is punching so that his body punches don't do too much damage. Push Cotto back to the ropes with the jab and starting letting his hands go. Lean on Cotto on the inside and throw uppercuts. He can't let Cotto get off first, because if he does then Cotto will control the tempo and thr distance of the fight.

He needs to cut off the ring on Cotto, can't just follow him around behind the high guard, Cotto will just potshot him all night if he does that. He can't lunge in like he does sometimes, even though he's tough to catch lunging in, he can be caught, especially by a guy with good timing like Cotto.

You guys know how Clottey likes to double and triple up the left hook. Well, after he throws that double or triple left hook, transition it into an uppercut up the middle, that can really do some damage since Cotto's right hand and elbow could be high or low from blocking the hook leaving himself open to the uppercut, he's open to the punch as it is but it could leave him more vulnerable if Clottey does this.

He needs to work Cotto's body early and often as well to make Cotto tire in the later rounds. Don't be afraid to get a little rough with Cotto, he should be the bigger man during the fight so he has to make that count.

Can't let Cotto put too many rounds in the bank early either, he might need to dig himself out of a deep hole if he does that.

Anyways, that's what I could think of right now. Again, I'm not picking Clottey but that's how I think he can win this fight.
