Miguel Cotto Gets a Gift in Madison Square Garden

[under dog1]

this is the way i see it . why the f..k if clottey had a the advantege over cotto . cotto had a bad cut . clottey the stronger fighter did not go for the ko . just keeped he s ****** guard up and did not go after cotto like margarito did . u heaters can say what ever ya want but . cotto give it hes best , and did not ***** out like sab judah did . thats the heart of a true champion . clottey knew that cotto was waiting to counter. thats why he was scard of cotto and after the fight he said it . cotto past the survivor test now is he ready for berto hell yea . cotto # 1 peace

And sure I was kind of turned off by Clottey's overreaction to the fouls that Cotto committed. But that doesn't change the fact that Cotto is a dirty ass fighter. The only thing that you could fault Clottey for is the headbutt, but that was a case of where both guys were leaning their head forward. The punching in the back of the head and body slamming was totally classless on Cotto's part.

I need to get this all out. Going into the fight I picked Cotto to get the victory, but Clottey fought a hell of a lot better than what I thought he would and got ripped off in my view. Sure, the reason he lost is the reason why I picked Cotto to win. He did let Cotto off the hook in the last rounds when he could've stopped him. But he landed over 40 more punches than Cotto and was less marked up and less hurt and still lost the fight? I don't get it. Cotto's time at the elite level is running out. I think he'd loose a rematch with Shane Mosley. I also don't think he can beat Floyd Mayweather (never thought he could), Manny Pacquiao, Paul Williams, or Juan Manuel Marquez even. I think Mayweather has chosen a tougher opponent than Miguel Cotto regardless of the size factor.

I agree. But Cotto was challenged more by the cut. He'll have to step it up against Mosley, Mayweather, and Pacquiao.

shouldve been a draw..no card shouldve been further apart than 114-113

That's what it should've ended as. Not many would disagree.

And I don't know why all of a sudden, but Max Kellerman is really starting to win me over as a fan even though I used to not like the guy. He told it how it was and didn't suck Cotto's **** like Lampley did. I wanted to punch that wife beater in the face because he sounded so arrogant with Clottey during the questioning of him. Asking him if even though he thought he could get a fair shake going in, does he still think that. And it looked like Lampley was grinning while he was asking it. This guy needs to go. He's always for the house fighter.

I've always thought Kellerman was a pretty good commentator who spoke his mind and brought a different perspective. No one is going to agree with him every time. He's doing a good job in there.

then round 7 could have been 10-8 clottey since Cotto didn't do a thing and got dominated in which he seemed to take a round off..

WTF?? THAT WAS ****ING BULL****.


he was faking it to buy some time.

his leg was fine.


your very biased dude.

You wear the crown when it comes to that. And how do you know Clottey was "faking" it? Your boy throws plenty of low blows too. I like Cotto but fans like you make him look bad.

[rod_serrs]

Cotto also low blowed Clottey and hit him in the back of the head without getting a SINGLE warning....

That happened in like the last minute of the fight and the 'rabbit punch' would not have taken place if Clottey didn't hold Cotto's arm or give him his back. As far as the low blows both men had a few but none were intentional IMO or would have warranted a penalty or something other than a quick 'Keep 'em up' from the ref.

[biglou88]

What a bunch of ****ing haters, Cotto won so get over it, Clottey had the opportunity and he blew it because he was too scared to get hit, then he starts crying like a baby for any little **** so that the referee can take points from Cotto. If there is a rematch Cotto will dominate as long as there's no headbutts again, and as for Floyd and Manny there styles are perfect for Cotto though i think Manny would be more dangerous than Floyd.

Look at the 'body slam' again. Clottey practically jumped on Cotto's back. What is Cotto supposed to other than to quickly move and try and get Clottey off of him? The rabbit punch was accidental and any unbiased person can see that. Had that been an intentional rabbit punch it would have been thrown with more conviction to actually hurt Clottey. As Cotto turned out of the clinch he assumed Clottey turned with him and just hit him accidentaly.
