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.
