Miguel Cotto: “I’m little tired and I have a huge cut on my left eye. I didn’t see the right hand coming. The last five rounds I handled it pretty well. I knew if I moved like I did the last four or five rounds, I was going to win the fight.” (Regarding his future plans) “Vacation…the people have to wait until I rest a little bit.”

Joshua Clottey: “I think I won the fight but I didn’t get the decision. The thing that would make me happy is a rematch. I’m very upset, but I have to move on. What would make me happy is for Mr. Bob Arum to give me a rematch.”

Bob Arum: “We’re going to have to talk to the Cotto people. He has a lot of options. I would like for him to fight Manny Pacquiao. That would be a tremendous fight and I hope we can get it done for November. This was a great fight, and under ordinary circumstances Clottey deserves a rematch. But we have economics. It’s just not going to happen next.” (Regarding where Floyd Mayweather fits in the mix) “Floyd has a fight coming up with Marquez. Then he’ll probably want to fight Calderon. Floyd just doesn’t fight big guys. Let’s be honest, he doesn’t fight big guys.”
