I was at the fight directly behind press row and saw the fight really well. Clottey fought hard and did look good, but personally I think what made him look good and create all this controversy is that he came forward alot and threw many punches, many punches that were glancing but got a punch stat nod.
The thing that gets me is that many people think they can over turn a decision by voicing a biased one.
Cotto won and is now moving on to bigger better things. He fought another "most feared fighter", he fought through adversity with a bad cut from round three when he could have bailed early and had an easy win(the round 1 knock down would have assured that) but he fought on like a warrior and again gets crucified for doing the warrior route. A champion finds a way to win and Cotto did.....whether you like it or not. Kellerman, Lampley and Lederman were not all wrong.
