If Cotto would have clinched!!!!! Cotto vs Margo #1

I been saying since I first saw the fight. His trainer should have roughy him how to clinch. He expanded his energy trying to stick and move(which he was doing very well at).

I can't wait until he beats the **** out of Marg. I'm going to be the only black dude repping the p. Rican flag on that day. Lol.....

War Cotto!!!!

LOL nothing changes except instead of getting stopped in the 11th he gets pounded for another round and losses by decision

Sadly i don't see a better Cotto then the same fighter who lost to Marg.

He still hasn't learned to clinch that for sure.

Agree but he also was leaning his chin in wayyyyy to much and was getting caught with uppercuts almost at will .

You can still get hit when you Clinch and it looks like your losing to the judge if you clinch too much. Its better to just jump in and jump out and circle. Pacquiao didn't lose a single second against Margarito and he didn't clinch once.

He tried to clinch a couple of times and Margarito just shoved him into the ropes and kept hammering him with uppercuts. Margarito just wasn't gonna lose that fight on that night.

True, Pac outboxed Marg for 12 rounds and danced circles around him. Cotto was doing this well in the first fight for about 6 rounds, he didn't have the stamina to keep it up for 12.

yeah just look at maidana vs khan in the clinch you are able to get your shots in. Cotto will loose again his uppercuts and constant pressure is to much for cotto to handle
