Finished off the week with a pretty exciting fight between WBO Welterweight Champion Miguel Cotto and challenger Joshua Clottey. The two waged a pretty heated battle, with plenty of action, and plenty of blood at the famed Madison Square Garden. Cotto scored an early knockdown, but in the fourth a headbutt opened a nasty gash above Cotto's left eye (see image). Cotto fought through the blood, and managed to squeak out a razor thin split decision over Clottey in a bout that could have gone either way.
Apparently blood was the theme, as Ivan Calderon was cut in the co-feature as well, captured a pretty cool image of the blood dripping off the forehead of Calderon, and I also somehow managed to escape the evening blood free, no small feat at these bouts...
Have a bunch of other shots posted at my sportsshooter page and a huge gallery at FightNews.com featuring all the bouts on the card. Now it's a week off, and then off to Los Angeles for the June 27th HBO card at the Staples Center.
