I agree with the commentators in that it is good to see a fight outside of Las Vegas, it would be ood to see more boxing in big venues and at a reasonable cost. Not a bad undercard scheduled for this too.
Have stream up but no sound ???
Duddy is getting worse.
How shit is Duddy !!
On another note Pac will be to much for Clottey, either big ud or Pac late stoppage, not from Pac causing to much damage just the fact he will be totally outclassing Clottey.
Same Medina who lost to Vanes?? Cannot wait for Diaz vs Soto....trainwreck all over that one :fight:
Anyone else think clottey throws more punches during the ringwalk than he does in the fight.
Cant stand Gomez...shite I think he owes Soto Karass a rematch
Shyte undercard so far. Zero atmosphere in the stadium. Soto Diaz better put a show on.
funny that Pacquiao "hates needles" yet is sporting a new tattoo on his forearm
Duddy vs Medina was a good scrap
But Castillo is done!!! . He shouldn't even have fought
Agreed, I thought it would be a bit better than this. The Castillo fight was a shocker, he wasn't even ready to go half a dozen slow paced rounds! Hopefully this one turns out all alright. :-\Quote:

how long til the pac fight is on?
Char room ...we're in it, it wont crash...you're call.
I think Valero beats Soto.
You can see it there with Clottey. He's fast, he throws everything with good technique, accurate, not a huge puncher but strong, not easy to hit and durable, but he just doesn't have it mentally. He should have won 9 rounds versus Cotto, he had that wrapped up. Not saying he would have won here anyway but he could have put up a better fight.
Not sure why Manny languished on the inside, that was obviously Clottey's best moments, the uppercuts on the inside.
I just cant understand why Clottey can't take more chances...? So frustrating :mad:
I expected Clottey to at least put up a fight in the first 4 or 5 rounds and then do his usual late rounds of inactivity, but he couldn't even do that!
Seriously this is like the most boring Pac fight I've seen, it reminds me of when Tyson fought Bonecrusher Smith, an exciting fighter in with a guy that really didn't bring it for whatever reasons.
Jimboogie, he was determined not to get stopped. Moral victory.
I hope Manny is satisfied with that unsatisfying win. Clottey was in la la land all night long.
shit I finally got one right....but totally missed the fight :-X.Clottey gave his typical 'just glad to be here also' big fight effort huh? Who'd he blame this time?
Lala land? how so? He wasn't hurt at all??Quote:

I saw someone say before for him to hook up with Winky's trainer... I dont see how that would have been a bad move...
When he actually threw punches he seemed to catch Pac quite abit, I like Clottey, it seems all you have to do to beat him is have a good work rate though:-\
By saying that, I meant Clottey was in there physically but it seems his heart and mind is not in the fight. How can he be hurt? He was covered up like somebody is shooting him with a gun. Very one sided fight. I also don't think this serves as any statement for Mayweather. Just fight Manny and get those damn tests.Quote:

You could not have watched both fighters fight before and not expect it to play out exactly how it did.
Hopefully, this "fight" will sober up the fans who were suckered for $50 USA to watch this boring, uncompetitive mismatch, and put pressure on Vile Bob and Manny to make the Mayweather- Pacman fight happen.
Yeah, I don't see Clottey fighting again on the big stage.Quote:

Clotteys got one of, if no the best chin in the division... if he cant open up who should? You cant go into a fight just in the hope of surving 12 rounds. It wasnt like everytime he threw a punch he was getting tagged straight back...Quote:

He did beat him in the score cards with no doubt but can't really say that Manny punished Clottey or gave him a beating, nope. At times he looked frustrated as he couldn't figure out Clottey's defense, even did a scissor double punch or whatever you call it.
A thumb up for Manny's punch output and stamina.

Manny Pacquiao overwhelms Joshua Clottey, wins unanimous decision - ESPN Dallas
i bet clot is peeing blood right now! :) 1.25M for being a human punchbag for pac is not bad.
i just wish pac used more peds so he can KO clot.
I saw some sort of white bottle in Pac's corner, I wonder if it's the infamous A-side meth? :)Quote:

Clottey is the same ol' Clottey. I never expect much of an effort from him and he never gives it.
