Manny,
A quick clarification on two points you made, with regards to Miguel Cotto, he ditched his former trainer and uncle, Evangelista Cotto and not his father who never trained him. It has been long known that Evangelista was very difficult to deal with, in fact he committed the cardinal sin of not having anyone from his camp present during the hand wrapping of Antonio Margarito that suffered his nephew's first loss. That alone is a much deserved reason for an expulsion.

The undercard will feature a great match-up which has the potential to steal the show. The Ivan Calderon vs. Rodel Mayol has all the makings of what can be a great fight. Mayol has not lost since he began training with fellow Pinoy superstar Manny Pacquiao, under the tutelage of Freddy Roach in the legendary Wild Card Gym. Calderon has never lost and has been the king of the little big men for over 8 years. Keep an eye on this one, fast paced action with excellent technical skills will be on display.

The judge that scored the fight 116-111 for Cotto...what fight was he watching?!?

The fight could've gone either way but ONLY because of the first round knockout. Had it not been for that Clottey would've had the fight hands down. Either way Cotto displayed tremendous heart last night. It was a good fight.

Ciby:

hands down?? c'mon!

The knock down gave him a one point advantage, but the fight would have still been close. I dont remember all score cards but what would the effect have been if the point was deducted.

Also, no points were deducted for the rabbit punch.... all in all it was a good fight .. maybe a rematch is in order !

you have to give Cotto credit for his heart and cutman.... the guy was cut in the 3rd round and Clottey didnt capitalize on that and the crew actually stopped the bleeding,.

now we're off to see Mayweather win another fight!

Where you watching the same fight?!? Clottey ate him in many rounds. Just look at the punching stats.

I love Cotto but maybe if he did win it should have been by 1 point or 2 but that fight as with the sugar shane/Cotto fight coulda went either way

But if he didn;t have blood in his eye for most of the fight then maybe he woulda had a more convincing when b/c he kept wiping that out of his eye during the fight and sometimes its like he didn't see the punches coming

But I still think either one of those fighters would give Manny a run because of punching power and how well they take punches

Yeah they are both way too big for Manny and unlike O$car DeLaHomo will not sabotage their own fight in pursuit of dollars.

Close fight last night but the knockdown was a legit knockdown, and so it's difficult to give Clottey the scorecard. If round one could be scored 9 - 9 perhaps there is a case for Clotttey, but under the 10 point must system it had to be a 10 - 8 for Cotto.

Clottey, tough guy, but learned to flop from soccer players.

compadre cibaeno i agree with you about the scorecard being funny which 116-111 was very lopsided. i do not see though how you could have thought clottey would have won the fight without the knockdown. clottey totally pulled a delahoya in the last three rounds of the fight and stopped punching. i want to let you know the that the compubox statistics can not be trusted as far as landed punches are concerned. did you hear clottey complain the way he did after the fight was over like a sawloser? watch the fight a second time and listen to emmanuel steward say that the only tellin punch that cotto landed in the first round was the punch that knocked clottey down. totally disagree!!!!! cibaeno i recommend that you watch the fight again you will see something different.

one thing that i have learned a long time ago that if you put your trust in compubox you will totally be mislead. in the tenth round you will see the stats as far as how many punches clottey landed. i say watch the round an you will see he dint land as punches as the compubox stats show.

bottom line is this cotto out jabbed mosley hands down. a good jab will set anything up. cotto has the style to beat mosley an he showed it.
