Clottey slipping on the wet paint

[Don Flamenco]

Every time Clottey was throwing a punch in the center of the ring, on the Tecate sign, he would slip. This was more prevelant a couple of years ago and seemed like they finally got a handle on how to prevent fighters from slipping maybe using a different method, but not last night. It was ridiculous watching this happen last night. They should spray that **** down with some diet coke before the bout and let it dry so that it can get sticky.

My personal theory, this was done on purpose as Cotto likes to use his footwork from the outside and let Clottey follow him so the the PRs can get a good holiday.

What says you NSB?

i think everything was good but ur last couple lines were idiotic u fail

[keepthemhandsup]

it was clottely corners fault they was throwing way to much water on clottely and not drying him off

[ßringer]

It happened in Clottey's corner, so it could have easily been blamed on them for not mopping up the water in their area.

That said, Clottey also slipped a few times in the center of the ring, due to the slick surface of the freshly painted canvas.

I'm with Kellerman on this one ; they really should paint those damn things weeks before the fight to cut down on incidents like that.

Was a joke. I was hoping to get more replies than this when I got back. I guess my PR NSB brethren is still a little hung over from last night.

It was really annoying how he kept slipping though. I even saw the ref, who I was very impressed by, push clottey aside during the fight without callint time and start sweeping the tecate sign with his shoes.

I saw that too. Clottey looked afraid to thrown shots whilst on that sign for fear of throwing and losing balance only for it to be called a knockdown.

It was from Cotto pissing himself....

Ledderman mentioned that the new paint gets very slippery when water hits it. They should stop trying to make it look pretty and leave it blue .

[Don Flamenco]

I wouldn't mind watching a rematch of these two. I wanna see what they can do to each other without their handicaps that both suffered last night!

Hatton slipped twice on the rockstar logo against Floyd and pac which resulted in him getting knocked out...
