    Had Cotto fought with no cut, it would've been much different IMO.
    I agree. The cut was clearly a huge factor in how the fight developed. Cotto couldn't see and so was on the backfoot trying to stay out of range of the Clottey right. All things considered he deserves a lot of credit for seeing it through. He could have just stopped after the seventh and took a clear points win. But instead he gave the fans a fight and gutted it through.

    The cut tarnished Cotto's performance here. I don't think he can be called past his best on what we saw. That's a little rash. It wasn't a razzle dazzle display but one where he needed to grind out the result. All fighters have these affairs on occasion. Floyd: Castillo 1 is one such fight. Cotto can and probably will perform better.

    Cut is not a big deal here. I seen worst than that.


    If you guys do remember. Juan Manuel Marquez have a cut and he don't run on PAC. Remember PAC can destroy anyone face and Juan Manuel Marquez did not run.

    Cotto don't need to run. If Cotto didn't run he might won convincingly. But I have Clottey winning this one by micro edge.

    Cotto got cut as early as the 3rd round and it was much larger than Marquez's cut MUCH LARGER. To give Cotto credit he was not dropped and wobbled in this fight considering he was cut bigtime.

    exactly, and if you rewatch the fight, it started out as 2 cuts then from Clottey banging on it, he ripped the bit of flesh that was seperating it and turned it into a huge gash, the thing was nasty looking, one of the worst cuts this year, i'd go so far to say that it was just as bad or worse than the Barrera gash, maybe not in size, but in how it took away from Cotto's ability to see out of the eye, don't see why Cotto's getting so much flack for moving back, he was boxing on the back foot, and yet would still whack Clottey with those big left hooks like he did in the 10th, it was a good fight, just as good or better than i expected it to be, instead of bitching about the decision (which i believe Cotto deserved the knod) we should be congratulating both for stepping up and taking on one of the most dangerous opponents available, they put it all on the line and should both get props for it, other fighters should take the same example

    I think PAC is next for Cotto... The recent fight results and announcements is just perfect for a PAC-Cotto fight in October or November... Cotto won and PBF "injured" ....

    Cotto weigh-in at 146 in his last fight against Clottey... I'm guessing Cotto can still make 144 comfortably... And they can have the belt at stake even if it's a catchweight, as long as XYZ boxing org will sanction it and all parties agree that a belt is at stake... That can be negotiated together with the fair catchweight...
