Cotto won't hurt Clottey with body shots

[ElTerribleMorales]

Of course Cotto can hurt Clottey with body shots. That isn't to say body shots will stop Clottey though. I'm leaning more and more to a late Cotto stoppage.

and don't really see Clottey taking over the second half, he has stamina issues himself, and that could only worsen with a barrage of body shots from Cotto, but honestly my pick is Cotto UD

A Cotto decision is a sensible choice. Clottey's main strength is his durability, but I think Cotto has too many skills overall. Clottey might have a few moments, but I can see Cotto busting him up here.

Should be good fun.

Cotto didnt hut Shane with bodyshots either and still managed to pull out a win. and shane is stronger, faster, and a better boxer than clottey IMO.

[No Contest]

Got to agree, Clotteys defense doesn't really allow for it with his elbows glued to his waist. Although Cotto may go a bit furthur if he keeps hitting elbow.(Back shots ala Quintana, Urkal)

or bang the arms and fracture Clottey's arm ( ala Gianluca Branco)

personally i dont think cotto will even win. not saying that clottey is the best but cotto has to watch out for clotteys uppercut everytime he goes to the body and i believe that clottey is gonna counter cotto whenever cotto decides to come in... i'm going for clottey tonight

yea that's the reason that he quit the way he did, also didn't he literally fracture Malignaggi's cheek bone?

with the recent calling off of the haye and khan fights this is really a must see fight in the fireworks it could pop.........i really hope cotto wins not coz i dislike clottey but cotto has more to give in the future superfights................may the best man win

[Puerto Rican Punch]

This will be a really tough fight for both. I think that Cotto has to be ready for 12 rounds of boxing. Cotto needs to present in a great shape to manage Clottey's pressure, but if he fights smart he should win the decision.
