I'm watching Cotto v Clottey here now for the first time...

[Cereal]

... and I have to say, all you mugs claiming that Cotto was a coward in this fight must be confused individuals.

I've just seen the Cotto corner after the 3rd round, and the fact this one went 12 is beyond me.

[carloson75]

Cotto won a very, very close fight. Cotto clearly won rounds 1, 4, 6, and 12. Clottey clearly won rounds 5, 7, 8, 9. Rounds 2,3, 10, and 11 were closer, but I thought Cotto edge Clottey in rounds 3 and 11 (in the 11 they both landed the same amount of punches, 19, but Cotto was much more active and landed the harder punches). I gave Clottey rounds 2 and 10 (in the 10, Clottey outlanded Cotto but Cotto landed the only significant punch of the round). I had Cotto winning 114-113. However, rounds 2, 3, 10, and 11 could have gone either way. That's why even though I didn't score it that way, I think that even the 116-111 is plausible if the judge gave Cotto all the close rounds

What you said is sooo true!! I had it 114-113 also. I had Clottey winning 2,3,5,7,8,9, while cotto won the other six, 1 (10-8), 4, 6, 10, 11, 12. He won because of the KD. People give the fight to Clottey, in part, because he had the fight won, and, to me, lost the last three, the championship rounds.

Considering Cotto was fighting with one eye for 10 rounds, and won, I'd say that was one damn impressive performance. 9 out of 10 times, a fight like that would have been ruled a no contest

GREAT POINTS. I was confused and rather surprised by some of the things i was hearing. Cotto showed tremendous Heart

[rape]

cotto is the king.

[S.G.]

Seriously, I was gutted when he got cut. I thought there was no way in Hell the fight gets past round 6

Because of the KD he could have just finish the 4 round, and say I can't see and win the fight. He instead continued fighting, and people still say he has no heart...

What I don't understand is how can anyone hate Cotto? How can anyone hate Clottey? How can anyone hate Pacquiao? How can anyone hate Paul Williams? How can anyone hate Marquez? How can anyone hate Pavlik or Froch? etc...

They are fighters who will go above and beyond and fight anyone. They are true fighters and it sickens me that some will use ethnicity blindingly in a way to downgrade an opponent. There should be more boxing fans here. Not fans of bloodlines.
