    Clottey v cotto why didnt he finish cotto off?

    O.k Im after watching the fight again and i still find it hard to pick a winner,while i think clottey controlled the fight and caught cotto with some lovely punches,wen cotto seemed hurt clottey didnt finish him,he whined the whole fight trying to get points deducted wen all he had to do was throw a few extra punches and he was a cert to win,I had 200 on clottey to win the fight and am disgusted he didnt make sure of the win.
    I had no doubt in my mind wen i made the bet that he was gona **** cotto up but i gotta give cotto credit he took everything clottey had to throw.
    If clottey had of done what he did in middle rounds in the later rounds he could not of lost.
    in order to win a champion's belt you have to take it from him,especially in fornt of a Pr crowd in MSG.
    So now im 200 dollars worse off and clottey blew his big chance to make a statement to the rest of the big names.
    im a big fan of clottey's and all this talk about robbery I tink he has noone to blame but himself.
    Cotto was there for the taking.......man clottey u frustrate me so much!!!!

      He didn't finish him off because he's Joshua Ploddey. He plods forward and doesn't do enough to win. Good fighter though, I take my hat off to him. Well, I would take my hat off if I had one on, but currently I don't.

        It looked to me that Clottey respected Cotto's Power and was being gun-shy while being on the defensive. He knew that Cotto could have caught him clean when coming forward. Cotto could have done better if that cut dint appear in my opinion.

          Clottey fought a great fight but really screwed himself by not doing more in the 11th and 12th.

          Clottey screwed Clottey.

            I think he was cautious of Cotto's counter power after the first round and he thought he already had the fight in the back and not risk it by getin knocked down.

              It's simple really, Clottey just couldn't. Clottey even said himself that he was wary of Cotto's power and was taking a cautious approach to not get caught.

                Very well put. Cotto ended that fight with a nice left hook to the jaw.

                  Suppose it makes sense,i didnt get to see the fight live as i was on my holidays and just watchd the replays and after reading all the robbery claims i wasnt 2 happy,Ive got to be honest tho it was no robbery the fight cud have been given to either fighter,bitter bout losing me money tho!!!
