Clottey won but no too many people will cry about it because he doesn't have as many fans. If Clottey were already a superstar in the sport and got a decision like that people would be screaming bloody murder. Popularity makes bad decisions easier to swallow for people in general.

punchstats dont always tell the story of a fight lets say theres a 4 round fight just to make the example easier to u and in the first round u outland me 50 to 10. then in the next 3 rounds i outland u 10 to 5 . your still going to have more punches landedby compubox 65 40 but i won rounds 2 3 and 4 so thats how it is. in boxing you score by rounds not by compubox numbers and thats kind of what happened in that fight with cotto vs clotteyComment

naw you just have to beat him. Once the bell rigs your on even terms. You are fighting for the same thing witch is a title and both fighters have a equal right to it. They only say you have to beat the champ convincingly when the challenger is an unknown or less popular. Nobody told Mayweather that he had to beat JLC convincingly when he came up and fought for his title. He was the young popular fighter. All he had to do was win more rounds whether it was one more round or six more it didn't matter as long as he won. It can't be both ways.Comment

On April 20th, it was reported that Clottey had been stripped of his IBF Welterweight Title, for failing to fight Isaac Hlatshwayo, his mandatory challenger. Clottey blamed Cotto for failing to file the proper paperwork with the IBF in the allowed time, which could have allowed the fight to be a unification bout.
