    I just watched the Cotto/Clottey fight

    I'm not going to discuss the actual fight since we probably all saw the same thing.

    Emanuel Steward and Jim Lampley made me sick to my stomach. Jim was actually talking this fool into siding with Cotto. It was like Jim was trying a Jedi Mind trick on Emanuel, who tried to have a backbone for at least 6 rounds but I guess he was spoken to. The conversation probably went like this:
    " Now listen here &^%$, Cotto is going to win tonight so get with the effin program ok? Ok? Ok!! Now get out there and act like we pay you to"

    Max should have said more..but to my disappointment he did not.

    You want to know when I realized Clottey lost???? At the end of the fight "before the raping of the Judges" Bob Arum gave him that reassured look as if he wanted to say " you're the champ kid! " and to me that said it all.

    Clottey has no draw so what's the purpose of him winning? Which fight would you rather see anyway? Clottey vs Pac or Cotto vs PAC..........you see?

    Sad, Sad.... After Floyd retires for the second time, I may decide to switch MMA......just kiddin...

      i would love to see clottey vs pac, id would love to see clottey a hell of a lot more period. who would actually look good against a guy like clottey who is dominately a defensive fighter. for cotto taking the fight til the end after enduring that gash and fighting with 1 eye, its not fair to judge him the way people are right now. he fought all the top guys except berto at 147 within 3 years with only 1 loss which also has drama. give the guy a ****in break no1 has done what hes done in such a short time in years.

        I scored it a draw and gave Cotto the W with the knockdown...

        And Steward said he had Clottey winning...he seemed overly negative against Cotto.

        I don't like Kellerman's voice so I tune it out...
