[chiggsy]

does it seem surreal they are playing such tacky brit pop in texas??

[Manc_Red]

Smart start from Pacman, jabs & shot to the body are on the money.

10-9 Pacman

[Manc_Red]

Pacman looking to the body early on, Clottey is asking for trouble here not trowing punches.

Clottey could hurt Pacman in this if he comes out.

20-18 Pacman

[Manc_Red]

Clottey could stop pacquiao tonight

Yep, the clean shots from Clottey are hurting manny.

29-28 Manny

[chiggsy]

Warming up nicely now.clottey getting stronger.

[Manc_Red]

39-37 Pacquiao

Pacman starting to get to him now, would agree however that Clottey can hurt Manny if he opens up.

Clottey needs rounds

[Manc_Red]

49-46 MP

Turned on the Nitro towards the end of that round, Manny waiting to counter I feel.

[Manc_Red]

Manny looking for the gap that will come I'd say - soon, 59-55 I have.

There is a high possibility that Pacman has won them all, I've given Clottey 1 though.

[Manc_Red]

69-64 MP

[Manc_Red]

Ive got Pacman winning 7-1.

Thats probably being extremely nice to Clottey lol.

[Manc_Red]

8-1 Pacman.

Think Clottey just wants to make 12 with the great man now.

[Manc_Red]

Great Round in the 10th!!

Hope Clottey comes out & fights.

A dominant Manny 9-1 up.

[Manc_Red]

Fair play to Clottey for surviving the 12 rounds, Manny was on fire but couldn't get through the defense but also took a few shots that Manny will need to work on.

Lets hope Pretty Boy fights him - will be an amazing spectacle.

Clottey was a disgrace

Professional Loser !

It is in no way acceptable for a fighter of that level just to claim a moral victory by not being stopped. Go out on your shield! Looks like Darke was right from the start.

I hope we never see him in a big fight again

Mragraito, Cotto, Pacman. 3 Marquee names for someone who probably didnt bring even 100 fans to that arena. Arum has done extremely well by him

[forcefraser]

Clottey is one tough nut. He was all about defense though, he never mounted a serious attack all fight.
It made for a disspointing fight for me.

[MrBoxingUK2]

this says everything you need to know about pacman, great fighter but fighting clottey is stupid, fight the best manny!!!

[yiddo14]

Clottey was a good challenge considering what was on offer at the time.

Remember, when the fight was made, Mosely was down to face Berto and wasn't available otherwise it would probably have been Manny v Shane last night.

Pacman has nothing to prove in terms of fighting the best and biggest names.
In his last 9 fights he has faced Morales, Barrera, Marquez, De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto and now Clottey. If the winner of Mosely/Mayweather won't accomodate, then Manny is already lining up Margarito! Thats how you secure legendary status.

[caffrey]

jim watt gave clottey may too much credit for being brave etc

he should have took way more risk,imagine what even a competitive loss against pac would have done for clottey

poor ,poor performance from clottey,he haad all the physical advantages
full credit to pacquiao he marches on.

[hitman_hatton1]

clottey is top 6 in that division and pac won easy.

still not a great fighter DG?

mayweather fight has to happen.

gotta be one of the most eagerly anticipated bouts i can think of.

Absolutely, thats a fight that must happen for the good of the sport.

I do think that Pacquiao needs one more (at least) fight at that weight, at times he looked a little tired and couldn't go into Nitro as much as he would have usually. The pace was a good one but he'll need another gear v Mayweather I'd say to get into Mawweather's flashy defence.

Interesting times again

yeah he did a bit.

u wouldn't know from the way he fights though would ya.

mayweather tends to take the pace down in fights.

so i don't see that being a factor against him.

still think floyd's backfoot sharpness will probably win the day though.

love to find out.

I think if that fight goes ahead it could be the highest grossing PPV ever, there is a real buzz about this everywhere.

Lets hope the money-men make it happen

I only gave Clottey a share of the 12th, Pacman was just too good.

Agree with you all who said Clottey should have at least tried for the win, instead of focusing on his defence too much.
