    i agree with u fully.....some people just dont understand boxing,like some blaming HBO...lol cracks me up....honestly i've been watching hbo commentators for many years & they have always called it like it is. & this fight was no different....so honestly ,all u folks need to get some new glasses or comeout of that cotto hating mode,its blurring ur sights.....problem is some people think these fighters are like a video game,as long as their not the ones in there the cut, blood, etc. dont bother them.....

      What happened to the website last night, it went **** up. Anyway, pretty good fight, Clottey shoulda won, Margarito woulda KO'd Cotto again. Home town decision in my book.

        I think the judge who scored the fight 116-111 was named Daddy Yankee, Clottey won the fight. From round 7 and on, Cotto got on the bicycle and did not land anything meaningful, while Clottey pressed the action and blocked most of the shots Cotto threw, in the end Clottey landed more punches. Cotto received a gift decision last night. Clottey deserves a rematch and hopefully for the rematch, he wears some cleats.

          if Clotty had gotten cut in the 3rd round do you think he could have competed at the same level as Cotto or would any other fighter for that matter .Cotto wins on overcoming this adversity alone .His valnurbilities alone makes his fightes worth watching and a big ppv match for any fighter.

              I had it 114-113 for Cotto, and I'm a huge Clotey fan and Cotto detractor. The knockdown unfortunately gave him just enough to win, just like Pacquiao in his second fight with Marquez, in my opinion. Clottey frustrated me beyond belief with his lack of punches in the 11th and even 12th round. He showed to be superior in every way to Cotto, except stamina. He had Cotto ready to go, but gave him ample time to recover. Him doing that caused him to drop from #8 to #10 in my top 10. I'd still favor him to beat Cotto, and even KO him in a rematch.

                this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



                with that being said!!

                hopefully cotto lands a pac fight now!!

                  The fight was really close. I wish there was a rematch.

                  Cotto is a true warrior. Clottey should let his hands go more often. He has some sick combinations.

                  When did Clottey go from "Hitter" to "Grandmaster"?

                  Cotto vs. Pac seems like it's gonna happen. When will Arum find time to enjoy all his money... he's getting up there in age.

                  Why don't boxing judges get scrutinized way more? For decades they have done a pathetic job and yet nothing ever seems to happen.

                  I should be at the PR Parade looking at girls. Damn hangover.
