Clottey and his fans really have no right to ***** about the decision

[illmaticfighter]

I'm not a clottey fan but i knew this fight was gonna go this way, clottey is a great fighter but doesn't have that instinct to go all out that he needs ala shane mosley who always finishes strong.

if clottey had that he'd only have 1 loss instead of 3.

I knew when clottey let cotto off the hook for those last rounds he lost by sd their was know way in hell he was getting that decision,but i don't see how this is some victory for cotto he didn't win the fight clottey just lost it.

Cotto didn't show me any improvements from the Margarito fight when he goes on the backfoot, He was still very hittable on the ropes and again didn't clinch when he should of.

If he rematches Clottey or Margarito again, he will have to adjust.

He hasn't adjusted yet and he's well into his career...I think it's safe to say what you see is what you get.

"Didn't do **** for the last 6 rounds" are the words of a damn fool and a disappointed nutthugger.

Clottey wasn't getting a decision anyway...hell...one of the judges had it 116-111.

Cotto did even less than Clottey PLUS he got hit PLENTY..a lot more than Clottey..that's for sure.

The fighter that lands more shots SHOULD win.


I can't believe ya'll are putting this on Clottey...

Well..come to think about it...I ain't surprised at all...LOL

Bringer said last 6 minutes not last 6 rounds, and he's right.
Clottey threw it away when it counted.
The case for robbery would be amplified if he just won those last 2 rounds, but he didn't. No way. No how.

Cotto 114-113 for me.

It is not that Cotto even did a lot in those rounds he did very little as well, but Clottey did nothing. Those rounds were there for the taking though and Cotto looked in pretty bad shape.

LMAo ajajajaja, he said 6 minutes you moron, ajajajajajajaj

Damn idiot dont even know how to read and comprehend

I think the cut affected him mentally, but he was able to battle through it last night. He showed a ton of grit.

Every time he retreated, it seemed he did it so he could wipe his brow.

I said in another post that he should seriously consider plastic surgery to remove some scar tissue around his eyes. Those cuts will come back to haunt him again. Iran Barkley got it done way back and it preserved his career quite a bit.

What clottey fans? i know of 1, ithink his screen name is tek my pounches or watever. the only other people rooting for clottey were mostly floyd fans dreaming of a cotto loss.

I had Cotto winning 115-112.

But I don't see how Clottey and his fans can ***** about the decision, other than just disliking Cotto.

Clottey had an injured man infront of him almost all night, who was on the backfoot and looking for time to rest.

Instead of going after him and chopping him down like he should have, Clottey did what he aways does, and he let Cotto off of the hook.

The same way he let Corrales and Judah off of the hook when he had them in trouble.

Ontop of that, he pissed away the last 2 rounds by literally doing nothing.

Therefore his argument of being robbed goes right out the window, because had he actually fought hard the last 2 rounds, he might have had a case for being robbed.

As it is, he let Cotto off the hook numerous times, and let him take the final 2 rounds to seal his victory.

Now, about Cotto.....

He still can't fight going backwards for ****. Last night was very Margarito-like in the way Cotto kept on the backfoot, retreated to the ropes, and allowed himself to be battered rather than clinching his opponet.

If Clottey had more pop in his punches, or just more overall determination ; the outcome woould've been Margarito all over again.

That said, he showed me some balls and heart in there last night the way he fought through that nasty cut all night long rather than quit on his stool, take a knee, or look for any other way out.

He's redeemed himself for the Margarito quitting IMO, but he really needs to learn how to clinch people, or find a more effective way of fighting while on the backfoot.

Otherwise history is doomed to repeat itself yet again in the not so distant future.

Good scrap overall, but Marquez/Diaz is still my FOTY candidate.

very unbiased opinion I agree that Cotto better get himself a different trainer who can show him a few tricks, get his right hand more involved and in general reduce the punishment he takes each and every fight.

Agreed.

As I said, at times, it looked like Margarito all over again.

And had Clottey been a bigger puncher, or a more willful opponet, the outcome may have been entirely different.

He needs a real trainer, to teach him real techniques for defense.

"Didn't do **** for the last 6 rounds" are the words of a damn fool and a disappointed nutthugger.

Do you read much?

I said last 6 minutes, not last 6 rounds.

He pissed away the final 2 rounds by doing nothing, and therefore cost himself any chance he may have had to complain about the decision.

Clottey wasn't getting a decision anyway...hell...one of the judges had it 116-111.

Cotto did even less than Clottey PLUS he got hit PLENTY..a lot more than Clottey..that's for sure.

That card was crap, but that's boxing.

We all know judges are bat**** for the most part, it goes with the territory.

Being in that type of situation, it being a close fight, in Madison Square Garden, in Cotto's backyard, on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade ; the onus was on Clottey to step up his game and make it impossible for anyone to score it for Cotto.

And he didn't do that at all.

He went down in the first, let Cotto win the early rounds and build up a lead, then got Cotto in trouble but let him off the hook, let Cotto win a few close middle rounds, and then gave Cotto the final 2 rounds by doing nothing.

He pissed his chance away, and any right he may have had to ***** about it by not behaving like a fighter and fighting every minute of every round.
