    Did anybody else think Clottey deserved the nod against Cotto?

    I thought Cotto didn't look to impressive and couldn't really hurt Clottey. Discuss:

      A round either way I can see.

      Clottey kept sitting on the ropes and taking shots. He also got caught too much with the Cotto left hook later on, allowing Cotto to steal rounds.

      The problem that some people have with this fight is that when Clottey won a round, he won it big. However, when Cotto won a round it tended to be by a smaller margin.

      In terms of rounds/points/scoring - I have no problem with Cotto getting the win. However, Clottey did hand him a beating. Make no mistake about that.

          Clottey didn't want the win badly enough, he showed more energy after the decision was announced than during the fight. Clottey's high guard and counterpunching style gave Cotto tremendous problems, I feel he could have easily won that fight had he actually tried.

            Me too, it was a close fight. Clottey is never an easy fight.

              Cant really remember too clearly, but Im pretty sure I had Cotto up by a tiny bit, I dont think the decision was as controversial as it was made out to be tbh

                  I had Cotto edging the fight 114-113.

                  Clottey winning wouldn't of surprised me, he fought a good fight.
