I can also see Cotto taking the early rounds by boxing Clottey and moving/bouncing a lot all over the ring... Clottey will always pressure Cotto by constantly moving forward with his arms in high tight defensive guard... Clottey will mostly throws counterpunches, fast stinging combos from a high guard defense when he has a chance to catch Cotto infront of him... I predict Cotto will tire first because of the constant movement/bouncing in the early rounds then he will be forced to stand there toe-to-toe with Clottey and this is where Clottey will pick him up, probably landing a brutal uppercut since Cotto is susceptible to uppercuts during infighting...
Clottey's open to the body while having his earmuffs on, and IMO not as quick nor as sharp as Cotto, hasn't had the quality opponents either
Clottey got faster hands than Cotto... Cotto can work the body but taking some risk catching the fast stinging counterpunch combos from Clottey... Look for the uppercut to catch Cotto... Foot movement goes to Cotto tho...
