I just acquired a copy of this fight and although I'll probably change this,I'll give a quick run down on how I saw the fight.
I know peeps will say this fight was a long time ago but trust me,Baldo is 10000% identical,chugging forward,walking through punches,throwing punches back,which are at times wide,and he was missing alot on this one and being countered.
Anyway,I had Clottey up by 3 rounds and all 3 judges had him ahead too with Baldo needing knockdowns to catch up. In the 10 th round,Clottey was docked 2 points I think for head butting,and general dirty tactics. In the 11th,he was dqed,headbutting again,a large gash had opened on Baldo.
I was very impressed with Clottey and I think Floyd will have an easier night than I originally thought. Clottey was countering Baldo alot,used LOTS of faints and leads,uppercuts on the inside and took alot of Baldo's shots on the gloves, he even shook Baldo in the 10 if I remember correctly. Baldo's punches did not really have an effect on Joshua,and there were some really good exchanges. However,Clottey is also dirty and was constantly holding and hitting,headbutting,arm across Baldo's fact etc! So Tony needs to be aware! He also has decent D although I think he is open to the body and Margarito should be able to overwhelm him with leather. As for Floyd Baldo,as much as I'd want Baldo to win,I really like the guy but Floyd will be too much although I don't see a stoppage or aynthing,he's TOUGH. His punches can be blocked or just dodged,He's open to leads as his hands are low and Clottey's jab was also landing!
There's my take on the fight,BLOODY HARD to find but a good fight!
