Numerically Cotto won more rounds but i wont argue that Clottey looked! like the winner, but that is not how Boxing is scored, Cotto won more rounds with the KD being a key factor so he won the fight.

I gave it to Cotto, but the difference was the "knockdown", which wasn't really much of a knockdown. People started going crazy about Cotto's jab after that, but I would love to know, if it was that good, how come his power punches barely had an effect on Clottey? He was knocked down by a jab, but shook his head at the barrage of power punches later on?
Had the KD not occurred, I probably would say it was a draw, or maybe Clottey deserved it. If Clottey had thrown more, maybe he could have convinced me that he deserved the win. He was just a little too defensive, but he needed to make more of a statement, which he didn't.

It was close but Cotto got the 1st rd knockdown. Clottey got the 3rd rd headbutt that really affected Cotto's vision and Clottey still couldn't put Cotto down. Thus the decision was right. Cotto with one eye won the last and final round.Comment

I've been over this with people, the fight could've gone either way. But you knew there was no way Clottey could get a decision at MSG.Comment

Clottey def won the fight... I had him by a round..
If you look at the damage, he really destroyed Cotto.. Thats my opinion, but theres too many puerto ricans here that think otherwise.. He landed the crisper and harder shotsComment
