    Yea hell yea it was... Didn't he also get like a 118 or something like that? Either way, that was just as much of a crap score than the 114-114 draw against floydie. He didn't do ANYTHING in that fight.

      Even though Clottey has probably been sitting back living like a king this whole time..still, he has suffered enough. Let The Grandmaster back into the game and see if he can do something. He had enough good showings for me to excuse the Pac debacle

        So did I. That surprise first round knockdown was huge for Cotto.

You take a ton of fights off air in tiny ass ballrooms in hopes of getting that opportunity to display your talent in front of millions. And that's the performance he gave in front of those millions. Of course that's what people will remember him for.

          After watching that fight, what casual fans or new boxing fans would be eager to go back and watch any of his previous fights?
          He did what he was supposed too do , what he was ordered too do , lose , every time he let his hands go he busted Manny up so he stayed in a shell all night , was extremely well paid by Arum and received a long service bonus holiday to the Ba***** thats lasted years , its obvious that fight was fixed .

          Arum was previously convicted in front of the Grand Jury for fight fixing , but anything connected to Manny gets a pass .

            To me it's pretty obvious that he threw the fight as well, but people will believe what they want to.

              Clottey will have a few moments but they will not be enough to hurt Canelo or win the decision. He just has never been active enough when he has fought top competition instead choosing to shell up behind that turtle defense. Canelo by UD.

Other than those body shots, which he was only visibly affective in three rounds of the fight, he didn't do anything. Really? You actually think thats my channel? I don't even have a channel moron.

                dude, when I say ran, i don't mean actually running away. I mean boxing and using the entire ring like he usually does. I also don't think canelo won the fight but I was Ok with the decision because they were a lot of close rounds and judges tend to score aggressor. point is, it was a close fight either way you slice it and You won't have a close fight versus a guy like Lara without cutting the ring. Which i think canelo did pretty good considering Lara is a top 5 P4P ring general.

                    Clottey has a good chance against Canelo. Clottey will probably be in great shape and Canelo is certainly no Pacquiao. Could well be another close Canelo fight where the Mexican gets the benefit of all the doubt.
