    Rewatching it, I feel Clottey's defensive comfortablity laying on the ropes, letting Cotto waste energy while blocking most shots, actually cost him a few rounds and possibly the fight. While it was a great defensive display, it was also comprised of 15-20 second stretches where Clottey let Cotto swing vicious looking punches, landing a couple, and winning momentum and the round by sheer activity.

    The cut hurt Cotto, and Clottey made it close, but really he was a few tweaks away from taking the fight. If not for the knockdown it would've be a different scoring outcome all-together. I think he might've got a draw easily.

    In a rematch I might even favor Clottey. He showed he belongs at the top of the division.

                How the **** you gave the 4th round to Clottey? He did nothing.

                  it should be 4 and 7, not 3. i got a lot of notes written around my paper from the second viewing; i counted the rounds off wrong.

                    I had my doubts but I watched it again, and Clottey could've won but he gave the last 2 rds. Cotto 114-113.
