The only good things about the Pac-Clottey fight was...

[ElTerribleMorales]

in short, a great performance by Pacquiao, and the worst performance from Clottey, he did more dancing on his way to the ring than he did in the ring, the fight was a bore-fest and as predicted the undercard sucked balls, IMO Soto doesn't belong at 135, and put on a pretty weak performance, he gets sparked by any of the top fighters at lightweight and should consider it a blessing that the Valero fight never materialized, so much hype about it being in the Dallas Cowboy Stadium and yet the crowd didn't really seem all that pumped up, i think (as far as energy) the Cotto/Foreman fight is gonna put last nights fight to shame, especially now that it's at Yankee Stadium, again good performance by Pacquiao but as was said earlier it takes two to make a fight, and Clottey only showed up to cash a check

People on here are saying Clottey didn't throw enough punches.

How can Clottey throw when he has to protect himself from Pacquiao's constant speedy attacks ? Is he supposed to just leave himself open to get some shots in ?

When Pacquiao wasn't on his case, he did throw and land.

Throughout the fight though, Clottey was simply not able to fight at the pace Pacquiao was, and Pacquiao's footwork and speed made it harder for Clottey to close the gap.

Manny's speed was obviously a major factor, he was throwing so many punches I bet Clottey thought he was surrounded at times. It doesnt mean that Clottey couldnt use his strength to try and close the distance, push Manny back behind his 'Winky' style guard and look to get off first.

exactly, why the hell didn't he try to time Pacquiao's shots? i mean all he did was cover up and walk around, IMO he didn't really even put an effort, he had more success in the last 2 rounds and it wasn't due to Pacquiao getting tired (cause he never did), he was the bigger guy yet he never used his size, never even tried to, smaller guys like Cotto and Hatton managed to push Pacquiao to the ropes yet Clottey was the one who laid there to get banged, utter bullshit

It isn't exactly easy to time a fighter like Pacquiao because of his awesome handspeed.

Only Marquez has been able to counter him in recent years and thats only because Marquez is an excellent counter puncher. Clottey can counter but he's much better at pressing the fight.

Clottey did try and close the distance, Pacquiao's footwork made it much harder for him to do that though. When Clottey was able to close the gap, he would land punches.

This exactly lived up to my expectations. Which was Williams /Wright II

Dirrell - Abraham in a few weeks could potential be like Clottey - Pacquiao.

I doubt Dirrell throws as much as Pac though.

[Fenster]

I thought Clottey fought his usual fight. His problem was, Pac is just an incredible elite fighter.

There were plenty of occasions Clottey got in position to throw the uppercut he was looking for, yet ended up getting machine gunned out of there. If he'd taken more of a chance he'd have been stopped, which I think dawned on him early in the fight.

Another great showing by Pac.

How ANYONE could defend Clottey's disgraceful performance Saturday night is beyond me. If you ask me, he should have had at least 50% of his purse withheld. You don't want to fight and give the fans a show for their hard-earned money? Then F-You. Here's half your money... now shove off before I change my mind.
