"Sixty forty I kicks yo' ass, Sixty forty I tears yo' ass up" - Roy Jones
I had it 115-112 for Clottey
Clottey robbed himself.
Anybody with two eyes could see 116-111 was wacko.
I will never be a Miguel Cotto fan, its not his fault he dosent score the fight but gimme a gotdam break.
Yea he fought on despite a cut but a trillion other fighters have. Cotto loss and got his ass beat end of
Unfortunately for him after another brutal fight he is probably going to be shot going forward
No it isn't but look at it this way
if Clottey had won the last 2 rounds still.
It would have been a draw. It would have been even on one, Clottey on the other, Cotto on the third.
So Regardless of what happened by the end of the 10th a round which Clottey won Cotto already had a draw in the bag and THAT is BS. S o you can't say Clottey robbed himself, there was no way for him to win without KOing Cotto
I hate people claiming robbery in a close fight. I thought Cotto won. Clottey gave it away.
116-111 is abso-fukking-lutely rediculous.
Cotto won. It was a close fight I had it 114-113 Cotto, some had it 115-112 (116-111 is a bit absurd though), hell if anything Cotto was robbed of a UD. Clottey wasn't robbed he got beat, and he gave it away too bad so sad sucks for him.
of course it is (try all you can and you won't find anybody who buys 116-111) but since you're a Clottey fan what was he doing in the 10-12? Wasn't everything in his favor going into that? Why did he go into cruise control, stop throwing the right so much? Dude's bizarre, its like he's got a mental block.
The guy had everything in his favor. Not only is he arguably just a better fighter than Cotto he had a guy who had trouble seeing right hands and he's got a great, fast right hand.
Clottey won the 10th, Cotto only landed one left hook at the end of that round but was beaten the rest of it, after that Cotto was boxing and backing away. And like I said by the 10th which Clottey won, he was getting a draw regardless. The fact that by the 9th round he was so far behind on the scorecards he needed a knockout to win is just plain bullshit
I thought Clottey took it 114-113, maybe 115-112 (but I'm removing a round because I was supporting Clottey), but that takes nothing away from Cotto, who removed any doubts I might have had about his heart before the fight. It's not a robbery, but it's one of those fights that DEFINITELY deserves a rematch, & people can complain about the cut, but Cotto wasn't exactly a complete victim, with endless low blows & spinning Clottey around. But that's part of boxing, as are cuts.
Scoring it 116-111 is an absolute joke, but Clottey needed to push it more after the 8th to make sure because he was fighting Cotto, the champ, in NY with Arum looking towards a Pacquiao-Cotto fight.
