Personally I dont think its a foregone conclusion. Clottey is strong hard to hit and fairly consistent in what he does. Thats the key in my opinion. I think Clottey has a chance late. Manny is just too fast and Im sure his plan is to try and box circles around Clottey. This fight could very well turn out to be similar to Winky Wright Shane Mosley if Clottey boxes smart.

Clottey needs to pressure forward with a good defense and consistent jab and be very selective with power shots and combinations early. In the second half of the fight Clottey needs to open up more if he can establish himself.

As for Manny P he needs to box in close angles and avoid mixing it up too much and see what happens if he can find the right opening to stop Clottey. Most likely scenario if Clottey doesnt have any success imposing himself is a fairly easy route to a UD for Manny. If Clottey can get his jab going and keep Manny on his backfoot the fight can get very interesting in the second half when Manny's power and speed will be less of a factor. In other words Clottey needs to reduce Manny back into a lightweight and then really take it to him late.
