I guess you were impressed by cottos "knock down" that was more due to bad footwork from clottey than anything cotto brought

cotto won the fight because he brings in 100x more money than clottey... nothing more nothing less.... ( manny/cotto $$$$ )

clottey was the aggressor..had cotto reeling all match.. beat up cotto.. was easy to see. I advise to watch again or at least watch the knock down where clottey steps forward which which brings BOTH feet infront of his body for the split second cotto throws his jab and that was their excuse to give cotto the fight seeing as how clottey seemed to control almost every round after.

sorry he is ur boy but he lost. Cotto had a good jab but imo he was not the busier fighter. I like both fighters but it was right. A knockdown is a knockdown its a 10-8 round look at it anyway u want

cotto was busier ? no way ! clottey let off the gas the last round, which also gave the judges an excuse to let the "knockdown" become the margin of victory. Don't let the last round or 2 fool u into thinking cotto was busier... hell cotto didnt do shit those rounds either... i think he landed 1 good punch.

U just said why he wouldve lost and why he def did lose. Cotto fought 3mins of every round and clottey didnt. I guess that headbutt in the 3rd I think which opened up Cotto helped make u think that Clottey was connecting.. The 10-8 knockdown didnt even come into play in the scoring at the end. Clottey was nowere near as busy and efficient as Cotto.

clottey didnt do enough in the last 2 rounds, but who cares... it shouldnt have mattered!! that is how much clottey dominated cotto before that... cotto did not phase clottey 1 bit bro..not even close. meanwhile cotto is running scared..backing away dancing around like a bitch and throwing illegal blows I think that speaks for itself who was winning!! clottey got the best of cotto in nearly every exchange.. It sounds to me it would do you some real good to watch this one over again specially if u think cotto fought 3mins of every round! The dude was getting his ass beat!

Wouldn't mind rematch either, but wont happen. Cotto knows he would lose... all he did was catch a fluke knockdown lol.. what would change other than the fact clottey most likely doesn't mess up his footwork ?

Also why did not 1 single point get deducted from cotto after 3 clearly illegal blows !

never said anything about the last 2 rounds but it wasnt a 10 round fight and Clottey obv lost those 2 on top of others. Dont really know what u were watching I dont think either fighter had there ass beat, Cotto was a disadvantage from an eyesight standpoint that was evident to me due to the cut over his eye he obv wasnt catching the jab in time and no matter what u think of the knockdown it was one and it wasnt Cotto who went down. Cotto worked the body exceptionally well and seemed to throw clottey off whatever gameplan it was he had. Better boxer/fighter won and I agree there wont be a rematch why go back and beat the same guy 2xs

i never have probs debating boxing not enuff of it. As I said I like Clottey and think he needs a couple things to iron out but he is def far from over.

Iam leaning Floyd pretty heavy right now
