He could have finished Cotto anytime round 8 and above. Hence, for me Clottey lost a golden opportunity. I dont know if he got bad advice from his corner. You are in Puerto Rico. You are fighting a champion and yet you dont go all the way when you had a chance? The announcers kept on wondering why Clottey did not want to throw punches. He was not hurt at any time during the fight bar the 1st round flash KD. Cotto was blind and fighting on instincts. hmmmm...
    dude the fight was in Madison Square Garden, New York is a long way from PR, and anyone who says hometown advantage for Cotto, Clottey now hails from Brooklyn, so throw that shit out the window

    IMO neither fighter was ever really hurt, Clottey would land nicely with that right hand on the blind eye of Cotto but he never really rocked him, IMO the Margarito loss did nothing to Cotto in terms of confidence and his ability to take a shot, he took some nice shots and never seemed wobbled, same goes for Clottey who took some nice clean hard left hooks to the head and wasn't shaken up

    Mayol was lucky it was stopped when it was! He could even touch Calderon for the 1st 3 rounds & Calderon was starting to get into his groove, The Iron Boy ain't losing his championship to a chump on a cut!

    clottey did not get robbed, either his corner gave him bad advice or he did not recognize that he was not that far ahead. He did not fight for the last two rounds.
