    I think Clottey is overrated. I don´t know for sure but I think so. I mean what has he actually done, except lose to Margarito and beat a spent Corrales? I think Clottey will be looked back on as a tough contender who wasn´t good enough to win a title. Like a Ben Tackie. But I´m wrong more often than I would like, so we´ll see tonight

    On the other hand, Zab Judah was overrated for so long, that he has now become underrated. I think all 5 guys that beat him were better than Clottey and he did well in most of those losses. I got Zab.

    Just as predicted... Great defense, Great Counterpunching and fast Combos, broke Judah down... Clottey is easily top 3 Welter in the world and would love to see a rematch with Margarito....

    Ladies and gents Joshua Clottey has arrived and deservedly so

    I didn't think Joshua Clottey looked that sharp he looked lazy at times and didn't put his combinations together as good as he can do.........

    Certainly not Joshua Clottey's best performance but he won the fight 5-4 on my card and the cut was caused by a left uppercut not a headbutt another BS moment in Zab Judah's colorful career.....

    He arrived. But it looks like he arrived in a Honda. Instead of a limo. He looked alright. He was just stronger than Judah.

    Clottey isn't a star. He's a solid, tough, abraham-type fighter. But unlike Abraham he lacks one punch ko power.

    That makes him unmarketable...to fighters and to the public. He won the fight but Judah probably still has more options of what to do next then Clottey does.

    I think you might be right there. Clottey can only really look forward to his next fight. Judah on the other hand can do that, PLUS consider retirement. haha (sorry...not a judah fan)

    Loll.. heree we go

    pretty good fight from both guys.. i had top rank announcers and i didnt think they were paying as much attention to the ammounts of time zab put in to boxing and were missing some of his good counter shots and slips and were generally too busy talking about clottey..

    Is clottey with top rank or something bcause they payed alot of attention to him and i had it far closer.. i had it 4 a peice after 8 although i knew going to the score cards at that point would be in favour of clottey.. because i obviously watched zabs work close and those guys would have seen clotteys come forward style and probably given clottey a couple more then i would have liked..

    horrible cut frankly.. shame it couldnt go to the full 12..

    He will get his shot and chances.... I dont see the dissapointment in his performance.... I can tell you compubox was FOS.. judah didnt land half the punches he was credited for he was hitting elbows and forearms mostly... That sequence in the corner were Judah let it rip landed 0 punches to Clotteys head... Clottey is not Lazy he is a great defensive fighter and counterpuncher, he dosent go on the agressive unless his guy is wore down.. nothing wrong with that

    I didn't say i was disappointed with his performance he got the win and looked on his way to a late TKO.........

    But it certainly wasn't his best performance he didn't seem to have the same fire compared to when he fought Antonio Margarito, Diego Corrales........

    Joshua Clottey does have a good defense and i agree he blocked more punches than Compubox gave him credit for but Zab Judah still landed some very hard digging shots to the body and the occasional straight left to the head.....

    I just don't think Joshua Clottey is up there with Paul Williams, Andre Berto, Miguel Cotto etc i think he just falls short.......

    I think he can give most of the top Welterweights a good argument but i can't see him beating majority of them but his chin/defense/counter punching/ won't be easy to deal with......

    Overall he got the win and thats all that counts but based off that performance i can't see him beating the top Welterweights.
