    Miguel Cotto-Joshua Clottey: Pre-Fight Report Card

    By Cliff Rold - Miguel Cotto should not lose this fight. Put one of the sport’s biggest current stars on his home turf, in his first real fight since the lone loss of his career, and then give him the edge in experience, depth of opposition, and amateur background…

    He ‘s supposed to win.

    Even with all that going, the possibility of defeat looms large.

    Joshua Clottey poses a real risk, the first since Cotto knelt in the corner to surrender his undefeated record to the gloves (loaded or not…we just don’t know) of Antonio Margarito. Like Margarito a year ago, Clottey is at a moment where his whole career could literally ride on the outcome. It’s what makes this, the latest hot match in boxing’s stellar Welterweight division, a must for any real boxing fan. [details]

        I'm definitely rooting for Clottey but unfortunately he doesn't throw enough to beat Cotto so I'll have to agree with the article's pick.

          I agree Cotto by UD. While Clottey is an obvious threat I just see Cotto's experience and toned boxing abilities taking over. Any way it goes down it looks like a hell of a fight so every body wins.

              Every single time Cotto fights a tough opponent, people discredit him each time. Let this be the last time if he beats Clottey. Its the same damn users who talked **** before the mosely, judah, fights.

                Cotto by UD, not a KO.

                  Clottey's defense is better than Cotto's IMO.
