    Default Al Bernstein On Boxing: Lost In The Shuffle?

    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.

    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.

    I think Al is overrating Clottey a bit.

    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.

    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.

    I don't think she's been here since DannyG got banned. Shame really.

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

    I agree Clottey doesn't get his just due. And he is a live fighter for Cotto. But I can't see him winning

    I've been waiting to see Clottey get another chance for a while. It always seemed like his was the forgetten man in what has been boxings most exciting division. I think the "trap game" analogy is a good one, but I don't think too many people are underestimating Clottey. Cotto is the favorite, and rightly so, but Clottey is a very dangerous opponent and I think most people recognize that. I think Cotto will win, but I think it will be a very close fight.

    No, they weren't. Anyone who thinks they were the same person is a gibbering moron. It sucks that she got run out of here because of childish beefs.

    Thanks Al Bernstein, I enjoyed that. It brings some much needed attention to what some might not consider a high profile fight.

    Cotto has always been a pleasing fighter to watch, even when the momentum turned against him in his bout with Margarito. Clottey is a worthy opponent for Cotto, showing that he's not just an average fighter in his fights against Zab Judah and Margarito. The fight should prove that he's not just a pick-me-up to jumpstart Cotto's career but rather a strong challenger that'll give Cotto a run for the money. I look forward to watching this action fight.

    I didn't catch your first article here, but I'll be sure to tune in and read what you have to say from now on. Keep up the good writing.

    Excellent article! I agree with most of the people here - Clottey is a dangerous opponent, but Cotto should be able to get past him. However, it still remains to be seen how Cotto will do against a fighter like Clottey so soon after the Margarito loss. This is a big challenge and should give us a good glimpse into what the future will hold for Cotto. I personally think he'll get back on track, but I'll be watching this fight to see for myself
