Clottey partly blames his loss on backside problem
March 16th, 2010
By Esteban Garduno: Joshua Clottey says he was suffering from another type of bout the night he fought Manny Pacquiao last Saturday night, this one involving his backside. Clottey apparently had a bout of diarrhea, a bad case where after eating a stew consisting of Banku and Okra, it caused Clottey to fly to the toilet 10 times between the night before the fight and the day of the fight. Going with your backside that many times had to have depleted water from Clottey’s system, making him weaker than he might have been otherwise.
It’s too bad the fight couldn’t have been called off, because there’s no way a fighter can go with their backsides that many times and still be in good enough condition to put in a grueling 12 round fight. I noticed that Clottey looked horrible the night of the fight. He had this withdraw, drained look about him. Now that I realize that he had emptied almost entire body of liquid because of his backside problem, it explains why Clottey didn’t throw more punches.
You can count on Clottey to normally fight like a demon for 12 rounds. But not on Saturday night. He only threw a few punches and spent most of the fight looking sick covering up on the ropes. I don’t know about you, but this taints Pacquiao’s win over Clottey in my view.

Where will you be when diarrhea strikes?
So all that dancing and singing on his way to the ring is how he reacts to a bad stomach? Only an idiot would buy this excuse.
It would be normal for pac to look beat up. In case you forgot, this is boxing. He got hit but kept moving forward throwing punches. Clottey was too scared to throw a punch cause he didn’t want his face to feel the same punishment his arms were getting.
To those of you saying 1200 punches was the difference, please be reminded that Margarito threw 1675 punches at Clottey and Clottey weathered that storm very well too.
I believe Joshua had a bad night for whatever reason because it wasn’t really what Pac was doing which was the difference. Clottey’s defense easily took care of that. It was what Clottey was failing to do when he had the chance. Infact this the fight he threw the least number of punches.
That said, please also remember who has to go the doctor more after the fight. Who looked more beat-up after throwing 1200 punches?
lex,
long time man. hows things.
ur rite bout the heights there. there is no arguement. pacquiao is 5 6.5 and clottey is 5 8.
however, i disagree with clottey being a b or c grade fighter and dont no how you could call him that when hes still clearly a better fighter than a bunch of the so called hall of famers that you told me floyd beat.
clottey, whilst he isnt a pure main eventer lik oscar, pac, floyd mosley etc… he is better than guys lik ndou, gatti, hatton, baldomir, judah etc… etc… who you claimed to be like i said before hall of famers??
i dont get ur rationale man.
peace
More like an accumulation of Pac body shots moved his bowels.
Clottey fights like a demon for 12 rounds? What fight was that? Clottey blows all of his opportunities is what he does.
Don’t take enemas to make weight cuz it’ll keep working for forty eight hours…
HA HA HA HA what a load of tosh ,if he had dairrhea his hands would of been protecting his ass instead of his face for the entire fight. He was only there for a payday and showed no promise, pac took the fight from begining to end so stop talking such a load of crap.
Sick? Arum was the key to this. if a sick fighter lasted 12 rounds with p4p mp, and had his face like he did, what the hell do you think pbf or sm would do tho his face. clottey covered up for 12 rounds and still had the pacs face like that. i not mad at pac fans claiming pac will be pbf. i am tead off about them saying he will destroy both. if you think pbf wont be countering all night, you dont know your boxers. if you think pbf wont hit manny pac, you dont need to look at boxing anymore. clottey? come on man. another had picked fighter for the pac. i even heard that pac would have had leonard, hearns and hagler in bad shape -from pac fans. little manny pacman fighting all these had picked fighters. and clottey, you know well enough that u cannot win covering up the way he did. Do actually think pbf is going to do anything like oscar, ricky, cotto, or clottey- the most accurate fighter in the game? dont be stupid. for once just take time out and look pbf as just a fighter and not all the other stuff. you cant tell me that pbf is weak or anything. folks say alot of bad things about people THEY DONT LIKE. no i am not the biggest pac fan by far, but i have never discredited his talents. but you mf’s quickly discredit pbf simply because you dont like him. you mf’s surely dont know the game. get mad and all that sh, but u know it is f**** true.
The only thing up wiv clotteys ass is that his chocolate starfish was lettin the turtles head out wen he saw the pacman in the opposite corner lol
Lex Fugative is a complete bafoon he dosn’t make sense he’s either Floyd Jr or Sr writing after a crack smoke a thon
Please…. Clottey you just got your ass handed to you…
yhis is called when your sh1tt1ing your self from fighting the pacman nothing to do with bad stew lol
So people show disbelief now? Didn’t we say that Clottey is a bum, that this was a mismach right from the begining? This is the first time I have seen a punch bag pitted against a human beeing….a superman for that matter. Did you expect Clottey to punch back when he said it himself that he will only be blocking Manny’s punches, wich he did? The only surprising thing is that Manny had bags under his eyes from the few shots the bum decided to throw. So, how great was this fight cause there was never any exchange of punches? It was never a boxing match, it was training for Pacman.
Clottey was suffering from scared-to-get-knocked-out-itis
He pulled this same bs with Margarito saying he hurt his hand
He’s not a warrior he’s scared to let his hands go and brawl when it’s needed he will always be a slightly above average fighter but nothing more
Perhaps even more decisive to his defeat than his back problems for Clottey was the fact that he was badly demoralized with the sniffles not to mention the night before the fight he had to take the trash out. Ah, and one more thing, the moon was not, if truth be told in the…
@mugshot: dude, you’re just banging your head against a wall if you even try to reason with lex_fug.. he’ll just smother you with ‘stitched-up’ a cauldron of twisted facts and fictions to make your head spin..
Clottey is full of (pardon the pun). The guy is just an embarrasment to his country.
Mugshot,
Actually Mayweather is the biggest draw in boxing right now. Without a doubt. Remember Manny fought Cotto because he is a bigger draw than Mosley, yet Mayweather will probably get over twice as many PPV buys as Manny has ever got. If being the bigger draw means less people buy ur fights, than u have an argument, but if you go off PPV buys and revenue generated from fights, Manny isn’t even close to Mayweather. Compare their three common opponents. Counting US and UK buys, Mayweather was just a hair from DOUBLING Manny’s PPV buys against all three!!!
Clottey is 5’8, Manny is 5’6 1/2 or 5’7. But of course Manny’s fans claim that is a 4 inch height advantage. They know when they don’t lie, Manny doesn’t sound that good, let alone great. Thats a new one though, almost everyday, I hear another lie from PAcfans on here, trying to make him sound better than he is. Wow, he beat a B or C level fighter that was one inch taller than him and about the exact same weight. Man, how does he keep beating up these biggger guys? Cotto was a whopping 5’7 and so was Hatton! But hey, if we stick with the facts, it doesn’t make Manny sound like he’s great so lets make up more lies!! Lets start saying Manny is only 5’2, because that is just as true as saying he’s ever beat the best in any weight class or that Clottey was 4 inches taller!
Wow, some of this articles are just LAME and no boxing value whatsoever!!! Ridiculous!!!
This site is flooded with anti-Pac articles to produce more page hits….
Don’t be fooled guys, these aren’t boxing writers this is a scam
excuses,excuses,No one will believe you except David Lahr and Chris williams.Go find more to please your arguments.You guys just can’t accept that the PACMAN is the best.he,he,he.
Maybe he had runs because you were sticking something in there!
Excuses, excuses! Hey, writer, why don’t you come up with another excuse? How is this
- Joshua has just recently married. Surely sex and more sex must have made his legs weak
- Those Cowboy cheerleaders are so very sexy, Joshua must have been distracted by them
- Joshua must have been thinking all night how he will spend the big paycheck he will get after the fight
I’m not surprised….most of Manny’s opponents feel a bowel movement coming on once they get hit.
When is this conman Arum put up his overhyped pet against a real good opponent. He’s been robbing so many folks out of their hard earned dollars for the last couple of years. He’s the greatest conman in boxing. Look at who Arum matched up against his favorite milking cow, de la Hoya and Hatton after they were clobbered by Mayweather, Cotto after being busted by Margarito, now Clottey after losing to Cotto. Arum even duped the ring and all those supposed to be boxing analysts into proclaiming Pacquiao as the no. 1 p4p. Just so he can generate more interest and more money from people into watching his pet put up against low grade opposition.
Diarrhea?? Well, I didn’t see him go to the bathroom not even once. Well, if he really had diarrhea on fight night, that’s one hell of a poop-stopper! LOL
Who runs this site TMZ??
I hope PBF will not use the same excuse if SSM beats him.
@ The Author
Hehe ran out of excuses? Diarrhea really?
Clottey doesn’t have to make excuses. Pacquiao vs. Clottey was a mismatch even before it started. It was just a ruse by Arum to rob 50,000 at Dallas and 700.000 on ppv out of their harned earned dollars. The fight was a joke, it should never have happened. Why put up a nobody, a bad boxer who recently lost and who is not even in the p4p list against the supposed no. 1 on the p4p list. Arum must be laughing his ass off after having duped so many stupid folks.
This article is FULL OF S#!+
DIARHEA!!!! —- MY A$S! HE IS DANCING IN THE ENTRANCE…WHAT A JOKE! AND WHEN PACQUIAO HIT HIM IN THE RING…HE’S DANCING ALSO…WHAT DIARHEA….! THERE’S NO DIARHEA….HE JUST CAN’T KEEP UP WITH PACQUIAO FAST HANDS…..CLOTTEY IS A JOKE. HE SHOULDN’T FIGHT ANYMORE….I USE TO WATCH HIM BUT NOW I DON’T WANT TO WATCH HIM AGAIN……!
clottey said i fight for my nation wow you must not like your own country cuz i know mexicans,cubans,puerto ricans,black,filipino,japanes,irish i know there’s more nations out there but they fight till they get knock out even if they lose the fight they show there hart they have for there country CLOTTEY you show NONE
excuses, excuses again mr esteban, tsk tsk. i thought u predicted clottey will wipe pacman ass….. u just cant accept pacman is an all-time great. the best there is….. hahahahahaha
PACQUIAO ADJUSTED TO THE FIGHT AND CLOTTEY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT THAT’S THE REAL REASON HE LOST NO IF AND OH SORE BUTTS ABOUT IT….
HE SHOULD HAD PUT ON A DIAPER AND USED IT IN THE FIGHT HE PROBABLY WOULD HAD WON BY KNOCK OUT!!!!
Banku and Okro my @$$….and he was able to strut and dance all the way to the ring….while De Jesus was gesturing “6″ with his fingers…meaning they will knock Pacman in 6 rounds…but it never happen because Pacman was plastering Clottey with over 1200 punches…
hmmmm, hhmmmmm, hmmm, more excuses….just like this writer.
he couldn’t move much his butt was sore.
hmmm that’s a new excuse! hahaha! esteban, you could be a good fiction writer!
oh he had bowel problems alright thats because he’s full of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
worst excuse i have ever heard. even if it’s true SO WHAT!!! why was he eating stuff that will give him diarrhea is he stupid or something
this has got to be a joke surely
it didn’t bother his ring entrance , he danced round so confident like a wally. what a joke
Diarheaa or not Clottey would never beat Pacquiao. He still fought like he always does, but was just smaller than normal. Clottey could fight Pacquiao- or any other A level fighter- 100 times and would lose all 100, plain and simple. which explains why he was picked as Manny’s opponent.
Its good to know Clottey was much smaller than his previous fights because of being ill, instead of a secret clause like some Pachaters claimed. Clottey was definitely smaller than most of his fights and with no weights on Pacquiao or Clottey on fight night, it was suspicious. Clottey is normally around 160, but he looked like he was under 155. Not the 163 Baldomir was against Floyd or the 164 ODLH was against Floyd. In fact Clottey was 1/2 an inch taller and probably 3-5 pounds heavier than Pacquiao. But hey, lets keep saying Pacquiao continually fights guys that are so much bigger than him, because that makes him sound better. Manny stayed at the lower weights for a long time, while gaining 10-15 pounds between the weigh in and the fight. He continously fought smaller opponents and now is finally fighting people his own size. Just not A level fighters.
My backside hurts after paying to watch this garbage, Clottey got $3 million to pretend he was a wall….
“Clottey partly blames his loss on backside problem” yeah really then i’m brad pitt’s twin,, garduno,youll pick up anythin for the sake of havin a blog with pacquiao’s name in it. you really pathetic.
Clottey your a fake you blame the Margarito loss on your hand now you blame the Pacquiao loss on your ass. Your so full of it.
LOL!!!
WOW!!
Thats funnier than the Bang, Bang, Bang in the 8th round.
Should’ve stipulated randomized rectal exams
how did you get this job? did you have to have any boxing knowledge?
Theres a good argument that Clottey lost on Bob Arums orders. “Heres 4 million dollars, dont throw too many punches, let manny pound you because we need pacquiao and mayweather to happen”
I really hope not but its not an impossible theory. Iv NEVER seen Clottey so passive, he wasnt that docile against Cotto so why pacquiao?
What the heck? Banku and okra? Maybe add some ‘alugbati’ too.
you JUST SAID that his defense was amazing.CLottey has never fought like a demon.Holy crap will you pick a facet of the fight and stick with it instead of saying pacquiao looked like crap and now clottey looked like he took too many craps?
‘You can count on Clottey to normally fight like a demon for 12 rounds’ – - that’s what the pacman does & did!
Naturally excuses excuses from the man who said clottey wud destroy pac and for some reason thinks that clottey normally fights like a demon. He fought the way he always fights, this time he was in with a better fighter than he ever has and got dominated. You just keep writing these hilarious articles, like the one praising clottey for his impressive defensive showing and this where you say backside and taint in the same paragraph. Thanks on the floor lmao, keep up the good work!
maybe he got some bad zebra meat from the back street import market. to go with that okra .
what excuse it be tomorrow.
Can’t a fighter and boxing writers just accept defeat. Clottey was outclassed – period.
Hatton said he peaked too early in his training. Cotto is now not the same fighter since the Margarito fight. This is ridiculous. Clottey lost the most lopsided fight of his career because he couldn’t handle manny’s speed. At the end of the fight, he was smiling and walking carelessly around the ring – looking like the a person who won the lottery, which he did. He didn’t look like a severely dehydrated fighter.
Come on Esteban. You can do better than that. I challenge you to stop writing all your anti-Pacquiao trash in here.
@ Krista
The lowest form of entertainment is comedy. Esteban is a well rounded comedian.
lol @ this article, I love Clottey and was rooting for him to upset pacquiao but come on…seriously? Clottey fought exactly how he always fights! covering up and not throwing enough punches.
lol
If this is true, which I never read anywhere, it was probably his nerves more so than food poisoning. Food poisoning takes 24 hours to kick in, he wouldn’t be sh*ttn bricks the day of. Sorry, nice try.
Thank God what came out of Clottey’s backside didn’t equal what comes out of your mouth. The poor guy would have died.
What a Stupid claim! Clottey was in as good a physical form as he will ever be!! If he did have a problem with his stomach on the night he would of ended up face down on the canvas! There is no way he would of gone a full 12 rounds with Pac-Man if he was sick….NO WAY!!!!!
Seems like Clottey isnt the only 1 with backside problems. This “writer” appears to be talking out of his.
He’s done…. He has a nite 2 prove 2 evrybody tha his one of tha elite ww.. But he just embarassed himself.. N now he’s making xcusesssssss… Sorryyyyyyyyyyyyy
Excuses,Excuses! Enough Already! One boxer won the other one lost. Get over it…..Next fight.
cottey aready said this is my first lose,etc..
probably seen the forums, and know he has no following future. kee that up cottey you get no respect too
To: aka Esteban Garduno
For some reason, I really admire your level of stupidity. I was feeling “down” but when I read your article, I suddenly lit up and burst into laughter. THanks for making my day. It takes an extraordinary unheard of amount of stupidity to make people laugh. THanks again!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! LOL!!! Nice article. Didn’t matter what Clottey did or not. Pacquiao beat his sass!
hahahahahahaha, thats all ill say!
@FIX
you might want to pick up a dictionary as well
This fight was a definate fix!!!! If you cant see it then you are blind. After this im not watching ANY boxing ever again. DISCRACE.
a couple of days ago you said he whopped pacman. now your saying he looked sick and covered up all night, your an idiot stop writing this fictitious articles.
This is just my opinion but, Fighters are supposed to be pumped up and passionate about an upcoming bout… Pac and Clottey looked like Magic & Issah Thomas kissing before a game in their weigh ins and promotional tours…This leads me to wonder if Clottey ever intended to win the fight…Same promoter at that…What a joke on the public…
skills pay the bills in boxing, steroids don’t win fights,this is not track,cycling,weightlifting, or bodybuilding
Diarrhea? wtf he was dancing when he entered the ring! If youre dehydrated you can’t last 4 rounds… excuses…excuses
So your saying in the 24 hours prior to the fight, he went to the toilet 10+ time. In the dressing room, three times, yet he didn’t crap his pants the rest of the night, or during the fight. I guess during fight time his a** gets as tight as his defense. Take your beating like a man.
Lamest excuse I ever heard, Oh wait, it’s from Esteban, now it makes sense.
Clottey had nothing to lose or win exept money..
This Manny thing is Fake!!!
This fight was a joke was a fraud..Clottey is promoted by Bob Arum..
peolple are dumb…Clottey was told not to throw punches and the only ones that he threw
really hurt manny
Doesn’t seem like that the way he entered the ring, Dancing around, Longest entrace i’ve seen? Stop making excuses Manuel Perez, the dude looked healthy walking in
now the excuses begin.
