They both look in very decent nick. I will be curious to see how much weight Clottey puts on overnight. I can't see Manny being anything more than 150 maximum.
Come on, Clottey!

I'm sure i read a interview recently on Clottey and he said he would likely be around 155 on the night.Quote:

Just to add,,,, I'm glad it's not a Golden Boy weigh in with every fighter in their stable jostling to get their giant noggins into every shot of the weigh in, ala Hopkins and Mosley... Hopkins mainly,, who curves his shoulders sideways and tilts (read kinks) his head and pushes his neck into strangly unhuman like obscure angles just to ensure his face is in the very front and centre of every shot..
The height difference looks very apparent in this shot... Although I don't think the height bothers Pac at all, in fact against DLH it seemed he almost got more leverage into his straight punches when he was firing them upwards.... Going to be a hell of a tough fight for Clottey... If he can really stay sharp and dare I say patient (although that may be his biggest weakness), his defence being tight enough may even upset Pac's rhythm a little bit...Quote:

But once that concentration dropped and he put more emphasis on offence, his defence weakened and opened up, and Pac timed him into an early grave...
So from that perspective, if Clottey can stay patient and maintain his defence to at least 3 or 4 rounds where Pac can't land where he would like,,, then it won't look like the one sided demolishionfest that Pac is so capable of guys who lower their regard for defence for the sake of trying to land...
In a way, you could consider it a victory for Clottey if he takes it to the cards and gets 4 or 5 rounds,,, and without finishing up looking like a crash test dummy
looking forward to this one ;)
haha Hopkins has a thing for doing that. :)Quote:

Pac is keeping that speed. I'd say he'll be 149.something come fight night.
