Punch Power: 1251 | | Al Bernstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +3616  As we bask in the glory of great fights already held this year and look ahead to bouts like Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez in July and Manny Pacquiao vs. Somebody in October, let's not forget a fight that is just upon us; the battle between Miguel Cotto and Joshua Clottey on June 13th in Madison Square Garden, which could get lost in the shuffle. That would be a shame.

Punch Power: 216 | | Re: Al Berstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +1174 Good points Al, I think this will be a great fight & can't wait!
This is a fight fans fight if ever there was one. Someone on the fence about boxing should watch this one & if they don't like what I think we'll see here, boxing just isn't for them. |

Punch Power: 3573 | | Re: Al Berstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +1174 Nice stuff Al,well said.I'm always a little leery at picking a guy who's largest amount of notoriety has come from a loss,whatever the circumstances with Clottey hurting his hands.Physically he is sound and capable...but his ...erm....desire seems to wander.Though he did step on the gas with Judah,was very focused and I believe on gis way to knocking Zab out.
True enough,this fight seems to be flying under the radar but should be a great one.Picking Cotto over twelve. |

Punch Power: 904 | | Re: Al Berstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +2348 I also am picking Clottey. I think Cotto will get frustrated by Clotteys' defense and sooner or later its gonna get dirty. Clottey is also a little rough with the head leading in so that also will add to the frustration. Clottey just has to apply enough pressure and not get outworked. The issues I think he has to worry about are his problems making weight and Cottos body shots, mixed with his already questionable endurance.

Anyway I'm picking Cotto but I'm not supremely confident about it. |

Punch Power: 2019 | | Re: Al Berstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +1174 I think Clotty is a live underdog too.. 11/4 is a worth a couple of bob. I am in shockingly bad form though.

Really looking forward to this one, but I'm going with Cotto |

Punch Power: 164 | | Re: Al Berstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +1174 Clottey will have a weight advantage in the Ring over Cotto and that's the only reason the fight can go the distance. Cotto is going to out box Clottey. Clottey will pressure Cotto for about 4-6 rounds but will be broken down. If Cotto is able to land good power shots in the late round he has a chance to knock Clotty out. |

Punch Power: 2327 | | Re: Al Berstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle? +1174 I agree Clottey doesn't get his just due. And he is a live fighter for Cotto. But I can't see him winning
