cotto
im not taking anything away from clottey but he simply stopped doing what he said he was going to do the whole fight and that was to put pressure on cotto. twice in the fight he dazed cotto and he either stepped back and smiled or just stop throwing and let cotto recover which i thought was a bit weird. then he stopped throwing in the most important rounds of the fight and just sat in the corner and let cotto tee off on him letting him take those rounds. maybe he stopped punching in fear that if the cut got worse they would stop the fight and he would deff. have no chance to win.
he does have wins over top welters like mosley and clottey but does anyone think those fight might have had a little diff. outcome if they werent in his back yard and took place either in vegas or L.A? where everyone was cheering for the other guy...
if you watch the mosley fight it looks like mosley had a date after the fight and he was trying to get out of there as soon as possible. even his corner was telling him to relax. he was going for the home run right out of the gate and never cared to pick his shots or set up punches. this was especially true after he knew that cotto couldnt hurt him.
i dont know what was going through their heads when they were in the ring with cotto. all i can comment on is what i see. what i see is that cotto doesnt like pressure and and doesnt like to get backed up cuz he doesnt fight good going backwards. thats why plaster or no plaster margarito whoops his ass again if they ever have a rematch.
pressure breaks pipes.
