    Exactly. The cut changed the whole complexion of the fight.
    Without it there would have been far less running from Cotto, who simply couldn't see the punches coming.

    Cotto edged it, Clottey gave it away when he should have been trying to dominate the end. He didn't do enough.
    And Clottey getting thrown down and hurting his knee didn't change anything
    It only had a noticable effect for one round and afterwards his movement was fine. He didn't mention it too much after the fight either. Cotto had to go most of the fight with impaired vision. I think the latter had more of a bearing on the fight overall.

    It looked like it did. But after Clottey was thrown down when did he throw his left hook or his jab as consistantly as he had before being thrown down? You need your front foot to throw the left hook and the jab effectively, it disappeared after he was thrown down and it was his jab and left hook that was setting up his offense.

    So it may have looked like it didnt effect him only because he wasn't grimmacing in pain every second, but it obviously effected him because he rarely if ever jabbed or threw his left hook after, he was trying to combo and leap forward and load up with his right, didn't set up his shots anymore after he hurt his knee, so it DID effect him
