Do you feel bad for Clottey?

[rowlesy]

How can you say Clottey was dominating the first 9 rounds? He won 6 and lost three, with one of them a knockdown. Then for me he lost the last three for just being lazy, hence 114-113 Cotto. If he's have carried on like he had been doing, he would have won hands down on my card but he didn't. A rematch would seem the sensible thing, but since when has common sense been involved in boxing decisions?

that was your scorecard. According to the official scorecards after 9 Cotto was well ahead that he wouldn't lose a decision. That's the problem . Cotto on the scorecards was AHEAD after 9, so much so that he had a decision in the bag with a draw being the worst, and that's the problem.

NO
1. He was O.A. when Miguel shrugged him off, Cotto didnt even throw him
2. For a fighter who have somebody in front of him with a handicap as early as the 2nd round, I do not think Clottey did enough to be impressive.
3. Clottey again was O.A. everytime Miguel did a slight and unintentional infraction.

First time ever hearing this from Lamps...."good tackle from Cotto" Not going for crutches like some others on this fight, But I dont think Ive ever heard a guy call "Good Tackle" on a guy

[Pavlik]

Cotto on the other hand showed and posseses the HEART of a WARRIOR, he never complained about the cut, he could O.A.'d his way to a win if they stopped the fight early because of the cut.

Strangely enough, I felt worse for Clottey prior to this fight. I have felt that he was one of, if not the, most avoided fighters in boxing and as such had not earned the paydays to which he was entitled. He earned the Cotto fight and IMO lost that fight by doing little to nothing in the championship rounds and not taking advantage of a one eyed fighter.

[belakbox]

Yeah, I felt Clottey had the moment and the edge but didn't take advantage. It was a close fight and I felt the same the Cotto Mosley fight were it could of gone either way. The only difference being that Cotto's eye was a factor in this fight.

Both fighters showed excellent chins. They took some hard shots and the respect that each gave each other was apparent by the inactivity in spots.

Not a bit of pity from me... It was Clottey's fight to win but he let it go. Even though Cotto was battling that cut he didn't look that good.

Did anyone notice there was no ring weight announcement?

Perhaps they both weighed over 160 and the commission didn't want it broadcast?

I agree with Stewart when he said it was Cotto's flashiness that really made him won the fight although some rounds he won really belong to Clottey. It was Cotto's fighting spirit that made people impressed. Clottey pulled a couple of ala Cintron cry baby tactics which is why I dont really feel sorry for him.
