This was a very competitive close fight that was a pleasure to watch.

Cotto clearly won rounds 1,6 and 12. Cotto only won round 1 because of the knockdown, i personally thought that if there was no knockdown, Clottey would of won it but because there was one Cotto gets awarded a 10-8 round. Round 6 was a totally one sided Cotto round where Clottey layed in the corner for 2 minutes of the round and let Cotto tee off on him. In round 12, Cotto simply outhustled and outworked Clottey.

Clottey clearly won rounds 5,7,8 and 9. In those rounds he pressured Cotto, put combos together regularly behind his jab and couldn't miss with his right hand because of Cotto's badly cut eye that occurred after a accidental headbutt in round 3.

Rounds 2,3,4,10 and 11 were evenly contested rounds with Clottey landing the better percentage of punches but Cotto throwing more punches.

One thing that i know from watching this fight is:

Clottey is definitely a elite fighter at 147.

He has awesome defense, good handspeed, solid body puncher, a underated stiff jab, a solid sneaky right hand. He is also very good at putting combos together especially with his left hand.

Who do you think won the fight ?
