But watching the fight, Clottey controlled the fight for the most part. Only that flash knock down hurt him on the score cards, and the two rounds after he twisted slowed him a bit, and the 12th round. But I see Clottey winning at least 7 rounds, maybe 8. He was the aggressor the entire fight, and a lot of times judges give the nod to the guy pushing the fight in a close fight. Except this one.

The 6th round said it all, Cotto went all out and didn't even hurt Clottey. Clottey just used that round to rest on the ropes, then Round 7 came along and Clottey was amazing.

Clottey is so underrated. On the real, boxing doesnt want an African to take down a popular Puerto Rican fighter. But he's so difficult to hurt, his defense is good, he's a good body puncher and he can wear down an opponent. He was definetely beating Margarito in their fight (loaded gloves or not), until he injured his hands. Out of his three losses, he's basically had a questionable DQ, a fight where he got hurt in but was winning the fight when the injury occurred, and now a very questionable Split Decision. It wasnt a terrible decision, but one judge was completely off base with the 116-111 score. Had that been someone else with any sense, who knows how the decision would have went.

Clottey wasent robbed
i gave Cotto some rounds because even with his cut he still was able to out box Clottey
we just witnessed a great new cotto
kinda the same style but with a way better boxing technique
i could see how maybe Clottey won in some eyes because some of the rounds were hard to decide
i think in the 7th or 8th Clottey landed the best punch of the fight with that straight right hand and Cotto was hurt for a minute but Cotto boxed his way back into the game
it really came down to the final 3 rounds which Cotto clearly won (except the 11th) and that was really the deciding factor of the fight
a rematch would be nice but not necessary
Cotto is gonna have more and bigger paydays thanks to this fight
and Clottey is gonna be ducked even more
