I'm cutting my teeth on boxing with the current run I guess you'd call it since about last month. I saw Angulo vs. Cintron, Urango vs. Berto, and just now caught Cotto vs. Clottey; all of these were Welterweight fights, which, for the uninformed, is below middleweight and above like 4 other weight classes. Basically it's guys who are between 140 and 147 pounds.
The first two were good, albiet one-sided fights, and the way all the fighters got off with nothing worse than a pinprick above an eyelid or a shiner lulled me into a false sense of security for Cotto vs. Clottey last night, which was brutal and a great fucking fight.
All 12 rounds are up on YouTube, but if you get HBO I'd reccommend getting it from OnDemand so it's not split up and gay.

Clottey was my pony from about round 3 when he split Cotto's head open, but I definitely agree with Cotto winning. Anyone who can last that long against as good a fighter as Clottey with a fucking vagina carved into his face and only one functional eye, while managing to still win a few rounds, is a damned hard bastard.
Clottey getting slammed into the canvas looked pretty painful. When he didn't get up for about 20 seconds I thought he was going to throw in the towel. |
