Well to be fair Clottey did have a great 4th round where he stunned Margarito with a right hand as Margarito was coming in. Then Clottey just stopped throwing punches in the 5th round and went more into retreat, the hand injury did change the momentum of the fight somewhat, but like i said i will be fair to Margarito because he also had complications before the fight.
Clottey was doing well Indeed,But I think Tony's body work as well as his hard head had alot to do with Clotteys slow down.He said he had injured It 2 weeks prior in training as well.I hear what your saying but I just get so tired of "I hurt my hand(s)" Mantra.I remember a head butt in the 4th as well and then in the 5th Tony had his frenzied onslaught with about 160 punches thrown..I counted 170.Personally I would like a rematch.I had Margarito up by three points.
