Clottey Penalized for "Flopping"?

[joseph5620]

They are talking about calling fouls on players in the NBA for flopping. Flopping is basically when you make it look like you were fouled when nothing serious ever occurred. Clottey did this twice in the fight. Him Falling to his knees and holding his head like he was about to cry, and acting as if his knee was messed up from the fall. Did they reward Cotto for taking the headbutt and not even opting to call the fight early in his favor because of the headbutt?

Clottey thought he had the fight won at round 10. You have to go hard 12 rounds my friend. Cotto won this fight from my eyes.

btw did emannuel stewart have money on clottey or what? he was sooo biased. and basicly said cotto won the 1st and last round only! hahahah

And Jim Lampley was nuthugging Cotto as he did in the Margarito fight.

Clottey does *****. In the Corrales fight, Chico was hitting him with perfect body shots and Clottey would literally stop fighting and complain when they were really not low. As soon as I saw that I knew a ton of that **** would happen in this fight.

At least Clottey didn't break and run.

why don't you go and get powerbomb and see if you can box for 12 rounds?

cotto was cut in his eye from a headbutt. u didnt see him crying. he did change is fight plan. but that was an adjustment that needed to be made. or clottey would keep catching him eaazy wit the right hand. i say rematch. clottey had 5 minutes to recover, he chose to wait 1 and a half. and then started crying bout his knee. he just trying to get easy points

fact of the matter he quit too early cuz he thought he won the fight at the 10th. not a champion mentality.

The ref treated Clottey unfairly last night. I don't think Cotto was warned for throwing low, throwing Josh on the ground, and hitting behind the head.

Yet he was rushing Clottey to hurry up when he fell and told him to suck it up. Honestly I thought that ref was being gay.

He wouldn't even warn Cotto for anything even though he would stop the clock. I found that weird. The 5 minuite delay to tally the score cards was also odd, along wiht the fact that all the judges were inexperienced for such a big fight.

I dont think he flopped more so than he overreacted.

Clottey is a second rate BHOP...................when it comes to flopping..................

[punkdrunkalien]

Ya know I was wondering the same thing, if Clottey was being penalized for flopping/over-acting? There you have Cotto, bloody as hell, and here you have Clottey on the ground looking like he just got shot. Could his acting influenced the judges to give close rounds to Cotto? hmmm....

The judges wree experienced.. they had all judges a Cotto fight before! lol

the judge with the ugly score had cotto 97-91 at the time of the judah win.
Which was MSG cotto love imo.

The judge who broke the split had cotto 115-112 against Malignaggi.

So yeah.. they had experience with making cotto win.

115-112 is actually about as good as you can score it for Paulie. So no problem there. It's too late to do math right now for the Judah score. But he won 2-3 rounds at least.
