      I wouldn't have been upset if the fight was scored a draw. Or a Clottey win. It was close. Too close for Clottey to lay back the last three rounds. That cost him the victory. He has only himself to blame. You can't unseat a "hometown" champ that way.

      I didn't see Cotto winning it 116-111. 114-113, yes.

      I also think that a potential Pac-Cotto fight might have been derailed had the judges scored it for Clottey.

      But very gutsy performance by Miguel, because Clottey is a beast WW with solid skills. No way he was going to quit because of the cut. The man is a warrior who fights legitimate threats (and that's how he earns my deepest respect as a fan).

      Bob Arum will try to extend Miguel's contract with a Pacquiao fight.

        you are from pr too. don't lie to yourself, cotto got a gift bro. if this fight was in vegas and not on the EVE OF THE PR PARADE, Clottey would have won. This is boxing not politics; I'm sick of good boxers getting robbed because of not being a big draw.

        Cotto is good but it's hard to give it to him- he got a gift.

          Not A Gift

          It was a really close fight, but I had it 114-113 Cotto.
          Clottey was fightin well, landing all those uppercuts and he was on his way to victory but he didn't close the job in 11&12 rounds givin Cotto the chance to box at the end. Instead he made a fool of himself with that low class actin. Cotto wasn't bitchin for the cut fightin like 9 rounds with it when it was really botherin him. I wouldn't like to see a rematch, Clottey deserves thou.
          Now it's more possible a Cotto/Pac now that Pac knows Cotto can be beat.
          By the way the Cottoslam is a nice move. Ha

              Cotto gets alot of respect from me, he won it with a cut above his eye.

              The cut would of ended most fights there and then.

                  Cotto was smart running around to protect that eye so that the doctor wouldn't stop the fight.

                    dude...the knockdown in the beginning won cotto the freaking fight, plus the combinations in the mid/late rounds.
