Clottey very impressive with his clamshell defense
March 15th, 2010
By Esteban Garduno: Forget about the results of Saturday’s fight between Joshua Clottey (35-4, 20 KO’s) and Manny Pacquiao for a second. The real story on Saturday’s fight was Clottey’s clamshell defense. It was incredible the way that Clottey completely stifled Pacquiao’s offense. The Filipino was forced to throw over 1200 punches to try and get through Clottey’s airtight clamshell. It literally took Pacquiao that many punches to win the 12 round decision because Clottey shut him down completely with his defense. To watch the clam in process was very impressive.
In comparison, Clottey looked as if he hadn’t even been touched all night long. The reason for this is because of his clamshell defense. Clottey wasn’t letting anything in, and all Pacquiao was doing was throwing shots against the clam and having the blocked repeatedly. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, was saying that Pacquiao was supposed to attack the body to get Clottey to lower the clam, but it didn’t work.
The reason it didn’t was because Pacquiao only made a token effort at throwing body shots during the fight. Roach should have known better than to try and get Pacquiao to throw body shots. Pacquiao is and always will be a head hunter. You can’t teach him to throw to the body with any consistency, because he just won’t.
It probably wouldn’t have mattered had Pacquiao even put in a big effort to throw body shots, because Clottey would have been free to land his right hands and left hooks to Pacquiao’s exposed face when he would try to throw to the body. Clottey was sensational on Saturday night. When his fighting days are over, I think he’d make a great trainer, at least on the defensive side of the game.
You can’t just copy the knowledge that Clottey has for blocking punches. He needs to show fighters because he has a lot of ability in that department. Offensively, Clottey has the tools but doesn’t use them for some reason. Some of it is fear, I guess, but the other part seems to be stamina issues that he suffers. It’s too bad because Clottey would be a champion if he threw more punches. He hits hard enough, and has more than good enough hand speed and size to be a champion.
It’s his poor work rate that keeps Clottey from dominating the welterweight division. If Clottey had been able to average 100 punches thrown per round on Saturday like Pacquiao, I have no doubts that Clottey would have beaten Manny. Clottey was much more accurate, had the better power and the better jab. All Clottey was missing was the work rate. He blocked most of Pacquiao’s shots with his clamshell defense and so he didn’t have to worry about that side of things.
Pacquiao looked weak and wide open on defense compared to Clottey. Pacquiao better stay away from Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. because those guys would carve Manny up if given the chance. I doubt they will.

This is not the clamshell defense. This is peek-a-boo
pacquiao got his first multimillion dollar shadow boxing on the ring.,That’s A True Shadow Boxing..!
Clottey look impresive losing all 12 rounds is this guy stupid?
Gentleman, the game is over, I already collected my $ Million Dollar with out any scratch in my face. I knew this is the toughest fight of my carrer, but why make it tough if I can make it easy for my self? I am smarter than Cotto, Hatton and Dela Joya, I feel sorry for those guys that they need to kiss the canvas and beaten so badly by Pacman’s fist to earn money. I just made a Million dollar and that’s what matter to me, sorry to disssapoint thousands or millions of boxing fans all over the world, it may look so boring to you guys but at least I made one person happy…and that is my Boyfriend – Esteban. That all matters to me, I made him happy and he is very impressed with my CLAMSHElL DEFENSE.
“Manny fought a very good fight and it’s hard to knock somebody who doesn’t want to win a fight, just trying to survive and that’s what clottey was doing,”
In ‘Boxing’, no matter how good your defense is, if you can’t throw a single punch to damage the enemy, you’re just a piece of it. Thats like going to a war with just shield/armor and no weapon. This fight was boring as hell. clamshell defense? I say its a cover up for py-ing out in the ring.
Dude did you see the fight? I mean I can’t tell if you’re delusional or just doing this on purpose. Clottey didn’t win a round man. Take this man’s (or boy or whatever you are) keyboard away and give it to the poor kids in Ghana, they can use the help right about now.
hahahahahahahaha!!! are you stupid? what is so impressive with clottey’s clamshell defense? is boxing about defense only? can it be won with just defense in mind? hahahahahaha! which planet did you come from esteban? why don’t you go and have fun with dave lahr and manuela perez…you all have the same mentality!!!!!
It seems your god DEMON didn’t hear your prayers for Clottey to win. You and David Lahr(aka Manuel Perez)and Chris Williams are all CLOWNS.
Manny simply did what he had to do…he let himself open because he wanted Clottey to mix it up with him…sad to say Clottey was really afraid to open up…he maybe stronger and but he knew he can’t trade punches with Manny’s speed…he may end up like Cotto…his clamshell defense is preventing him to mount a good offense, that is why he needs to wait for his opponent to stop punching before he throws his…he needs enormous strength to perfect that defense…you can actually see that with his posture.
Clottey was down right poor in this fight, only you seem to think he did well and we all know why that is. This was Clottey’s chance at the big time and he blew, you would think that a boxer in his position would go all out and fight his hardest but Clottey did none of that. i’ll admit that if Clottey hadn’t been so passive, he could have given Pacquiao a whole lot of trouble but he chose to stay in that defensive shell and practically gave Pacquiao the victory
Fg Clottey, I’ll never pay any PPV with Clottey in it no matter how great his opponent is. What a painfully boring guy,
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !
i felt clottey was once again dazzled by the occasion. albeit he is a professional and failed to impress once again
although his defence was impressive, you need to throw shots to be competetive, i was dissapointed with Clotteys performance he should have thrown caution to the wind in the second half of the fight, it wouldnt have been that risky, its not like clottey has a glass jaw. nice one sided article by the way.
Clottey’s Reasons “its better to claim the prize,instead throwing the punches,Then If I survived,I recieved a million Dollar bucks……..
Ryu, again you bring up some very good points. Promoters do what they do which is hype of fights and fighters in order to make money. Clottey is part of Arums stable so he keeps the money in house but of course in order to garner more support for the fight they had to over hype Clottey. Arum knows that A LOT of Pac’s supporters are simply Pac’s supporters so he could’ve made them believe that kermit the frog was a live dog in the fight and they would believe it seeing as they don’t follow boxing other than Pac.
@Lito
What do you mean ask Clottey if Pacquiao has power? Clottey said after the fight that Pacquiao’s punches didn’t hurt him the speed was the problem. This is not the lowest punch output from Clottey in a 12 round fight he’s thrown less before. The man just has a low punch output, and that’s exactly why myself and alot of other people didn’t know why Pacquiao was fighting Clottey; the man hasn’t had a KO in years, he lost his last fight, has no title, and is known for not throwing enough punches to win against elite welter weights, who was suprised by this outcome? If you were suprised you must’ve missed some of his past fights where he’s thrown even less punches. I hope alot of casual fans didn’t pay to see that joke of a ppv fight.
Esteban the writer! Wtf is very impressive in Clottey? His damaging the sports with that boring defense. HBO has deserted him and all other PPVs will follow suit. So now, he can retire, as no other fighter will like to fight him and earn money at same time. Clottey did looked stupid to have gotten that two-fist-dragonball-Z punch! Hwahahahahhahahaha!!!!
Actually the “real story” is that Manny WON. Also, Manny was throwing effective body punches; why do u think Clotty refused to fight back? Because the moment that Manny threw “body punches”, Clotty discovered the “power” of Manny. Clotty was afraid to open up because of the high risk of Manny knocking him out. Which fight were u watching?
Clottey is hiding Pacman is seeking……………
1 thing for sure clottey change to hide n seek game……….Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Clottey is not a boxer at all, hehehe
just waiting for the 12 round to end, hiding in his hand just beacuase of fear to be KO. Just asked Clottey for sure=))
Are you people kidding me???????? you are in a CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT and you are AFRAID!! LMAO!!! You are the same people that claim Mayweather is afraid of EVERYBODY with your fake KFC named calling but Clottey gets a pass because he is fighting Manny Pacquaio ??????
That is most unbelievable contradicting, bias statement I have EVER heard. WOOOOWWWW!!!
He is a coward. You dont get credit for just stepping in the ring, this aint Tyson people.
Manny is a 145 1/2 dude that throws a lot of punches. You have to be prepared to fight… PERIOD!!!! Amazing feat to come unmarked??? WHAAAAAATTTTTT????? He lost EVERY round and that a feat???? Mayweather is a defensive master, all that crap that Manny throw wont land. Manny Kills people who are flat-footed and stand right in front of him. He has NEVER fought ANYONE with the Mayweather footwork and movement. Its going to be his toughest fight . . . . . . or maybe he shoud get credit for stepping into the ring…. WOW!
UK- i agree, after watching the fight about 3 times im sure Clottey DID come to win, but like everyone else before him, who didnt quite expect the speed and power to as frightening as it is.
So it was either fight the way he did and get thru it, attacking only when you can, or you be carried out in your trainers arms to hospital like all the rest.
He fought manny pacquiao and came away unmarked and unhurt, that is an amazing feat in itself. I knew for a fact he would not be knocked out or stopped, in my opinion Clottey beats anyone else in the world other than Pacquiao, and mayweather would NEVER fight him.
Another thing iv learned from this fight, iv always been TEAM MAYWEATHER, but after this, im actually starting to wonder how would mayweather actually beat Pacquiao? He wont be able to hurt pacquiao, and he wont be able to outpoint him on workrate. He can throw slashing counters, but will it make a difference? Floyd doesnt throw combos anymore and pacquiao would be throwing non stop for 12 rounds. Either that or there is a danger it would be a boring fight.
Clottey has good defense but thinks of survival too much rather than winning. Manny did show some weaknesses that FMJ will exploit as he is even better with his defense than Clottey is. I see FMJ winning a decision when they fight!
It take two to make a good fght and clottey was poor he was the chalingejer but never tried to take the fight to pacquiao, and its no use having a good defence when yo lose every round in a world tiles fight Pacquiao was out standing showing how fit he was and a 100 percent effort to get the job done,so lets get the winner of Mayweather fight on!! but if its Cherryweather don’t hold your breath as he will use every excuse after seeing this 12 round white wash of Clottey.
@boxinghistory
and the rest of the jibber jabbers here,
its easy to say things like manny this manny that floyd this floyd that ( floyd will dismantle,manny will destroy) until they meet in the god damn Mothe$##% ring it’s nonsense.
let’s talk about the fight that actually happened this weekend and break it down round by round will do the same thing when mosley and floyd meet up in may, until then STFU.
People are criticizing Clottey, but basically only Mayweather or mosley could have done any better, and il bet one of them would have been stopped. When Clottewy did throw he landed the cleaner flush hard shots, at the end of the day not even the P4P king could hurt him. If Clottey had really gone all out offense then he could have beat manny a lot worse, but it was pacquiaos speed and power that prevented him from doing that.
Dont be so quick to criticize Clottey, there is nobody else but pacquiao who i believe could beat him fairly. If only he was more offensive he would be a truly great fighter.
All in all i think he did very well, better than pacs last opponants, shame he wasnt more offensive but perhaps that was just down to pacquiaos spped and brilliance.
There is still not a fighter alive who can hurt Joshua Clottey. And for the idiots calling him a boring fighter after this one performance, watch the Coot fight, he wasnt boring then, he was offensive and brilliant in that fight because he wasnt afraid of cottos speed or power.
Give Clottey some dam credit, he was fighting Manny Pacquiao!!! and he came out without a scratch
ask clottey why he had his D up the whole time…cuz he felt the power and did not want to get KO’d…pacquiao is probably the only man 160 and under that can make Clottey look the way he did…
Ask Clottey if Pac had power
Hello Esteban,
So you’re singing a different tune now buddy. As early as January 17, you predicted that Clottey will batter Pacman into pieces and will send him down on the canvass. So what happened to your predictions? The fight was between a warrior and a coward. Tsk.. tsk.. next time consult your psychic before you make any future predictions.
@BoxingHistory i agree with most of what you say , so true so many fans get too personal and cant have a proper boxing chat about tactics, style etc in a constructive way.
i am a pacman fan. every boxer has its flaws. undefeated or not. champion or not. but there is only one thing i want to see while manny is on his peak and that is for mayweather and pacquiao fight. the last man standing is the best fighter and the pound 4 pound king.
LOL at Floyd fans saying Floyd will pick Pac apart. After taking punches from heavy-hitters Cotto and Clottey, do you think Pacquiao will be afraid of Floyd’s pillow punches? Floyd’s punches will feel like massages to Manny.
first u said pac was going to the hospital….lol now after he outclassed clottey u say great defense wow whats wrong with saying that there are more great fighters out there other than floyd…its ok to like pac without putting floyd down…he is a great fighter too…its good for boxing to have more than 1 great fighter…so if u really love the sport respect both cuz within 10 years they both will be gone…im a boxing fan and i like floyd & pac & shane…may the best man win….STOP being so childish
totally agree chak clottey was pathetic and manny would almost certainly beat floyd
Hahahah Your a F11king Idiot if you think going into a fight in survival mode and completely covering up is impressive!!!! I could of gone the 12 with Pacman doing that kind of tactic my arms would of stung in the morning mind. There is nowhere for you to go if you think that was impressive you complete joke. Wow but did you give me a giggle thank you.
Impressive? why don´t you say that to Clotteys trainer and camp whose shouting and screaming in the corner to clottey to take a chance. Why Clottey guarded his chin and head? For the fact that he knows very well he´ll ended up like Cotto and Hatton. You better warn Mayweather because by looking at Clottey, his defense is better than Mayweather. Majority of analyst are convince now that Pacquiao can beat Mayweather without a doubt.
You can get away with missing almost a thousand punches against Clottey, but not with a good counter puncher like Mayweather. They need to get a few more fights under their belt before messing with Mayweather.
I would make a obvious comment, but there are tooo many Pacquaio nut-riders on this blog. That fight showed me one thing, Mayweather will pick his ass apart with the counters. Clottey landed every punch he threw, he was just too afraid to trade as anyone is with Pacman and Arum made him rich.
But his defense is questionable PERIOD!!! He has never fought a defensive master like Floyd.
The little Pac will wind up on the canvas. I know….I know…. you love Manny! Save it for someone who cares. He is a INCREDIBLE boxer/warrior. But, I am entitled to the obvious.
He will not beat Floyd……He will not beat floyd!!!
Also, I am all for sportsmanship, but to kiss and hug after ever bell is just irritating, You are in there to fight, the promotional period is over. Clottey got paid to make Manny look great.
Great job Joshua!!! I lost all respect for him. Before you Manny feans begin to be angry at these FACTS!!! Remember . . . . Manny will not defeat Floyd!!!
@BoxingHistory
What do you think would have happend if it was Mayweather Pacquiao was fighting yesterday instead of Clottey?
I don’t know why people bother. Please don’t say anything wrong about Manny Pacquiao or u will be crucified by his KOOL AID drinking fans i.e JIM JONES. There’s a thing called constructive criticism and sometimes its good if only a person would listen. Manny got the win and that’s the bottom line so I will give that to the Pac fanatics but he still showed all of his flaws in this fight. Manny has improved a little but not enough to stop from getting dismantled by a fast accurate counterpuncher with good defense. Manny has a problem with making adjustments in the ring on the fly. He has to wait until he gets back to the corner to get instructions. He lacks true ring smarts. He was totally out of rhythm because of Clottey’s defense. His answer to this riddle was to just throw more of the same punches. Pacquiao is all offense with no defense. His offense is his defense and in that lies the problem.
@Floyd Mayweather jr
You’re scared of Shane Mosley too, but you’re gonna whoop that ass come May 1st. So being scared is working out for you keep it up.
Hello Esteban,
Don’t be biased. Your predictions that Clottey will easily beat Pacman was one-sided. You don’t even give Pacman even the benefit of the doubt that he can win on your biased predictions. The final result: Pacman via unanimous decision. Clottey is interested in surviving not winning. He confessed for the first time that he lost this fight. So you are impressed with Clottey’s defense. Again another biased observations. Re-evaluate the tapes of Pacman before you make future predictions. But hey, consult your psychic before you write okay?
I’m not impressed with Clottey’s defense. I think Ops had a point that Pacquiao ended up making Clottey’s defense look better than what it was, because he focused too much on trying to hit him in the head when he should have focused 80% of those punches on the body. I think in Pacquiaos pursuit to please the crowd he becomes what people would call a head hunter, and that might come back to work against him against a good counter puncher, but that’s just my opinion.
I am one of the people who saw this fight from a boxing point of view, not i have my head stuck way too far up manny’s ass, view.
The Facr is MAnny did throw a hell of a lot of punches, but of how many of the reported 1200 he threw actually done damage or landed properly?? I think minus the poor work rate, Clottey did well, he threw & connected with some good hard shots that reallydoen damage to pacmans face, & his defence was awsome but if you don’t throw against a fighter like pacquiao u will lose.
After watching this figh i am convicned Mayweather & mosley will do a job on Manny Pacquiao. I find it funny how Ariza & cosay Maywether must be scared after the clottey fight, if anything i think Mayweather will be jumping with joy at how easy pacquiao was hit. Think about it! Mayweather is taller, smarter, faster, & i think his defence is just as good as clotteys if not a tad bit better.If a limited boxer like Clottey could hit/do damage to pacman, what would mayweather jr do??
Even if you want to say the only reason that Clottey survived is because he covered up in the clam shell defense, that doesn’t excuse an fighter missing 80% of their punches. Remember that clam shell only covers the head not the mans body which means if you missed 80% of your punches then almost 80% of them were aimed at the head; what happend to breaking him down from the body? Clottey’s defense has always been regarded as good, but let’s not give him too much credit it had more to do with the fact that Pacquiao is a certified head hunter. If you think this guy will beat Mayweather fighting like he does then you will be dissapointed once they meet in the ring.
There’s a reason the “clamshell” defense of Clottey worked,…He almost did’nt throw punches!!! If he did, he most likely would have recieved his first KO ever!!!
As for Petty Boy Floyd…..Keep dreaming that he’ll some how beat Manny!!!
I black and white response by you G.
it takes more than a great defense to win fights… you have to come back with something.. thats why clottey has never beat a top oponent.. even if clottey knocked manny down a couple of times, and won a couple of other rounds, he would have lost a split decision !! cmon this was a top rank card to over hype manny!! clottey didnt do any thing at all in the fight but cover up.. clottey had to knock manny out to win, and thenn bobs judges would have disqualified clottey for some thing..
I was impressed by Clottey`s skill in defence, but yes he needed more offense , but hype can put fear into some, i guess he feared he`d get tk`d, but when he did throw punches they hit the mark with good accuracy and left bruises on Mannys face. Manny did what he had to do in style but Clottey didnt, shame he should have done what he started doing in the last 3 rounds right at the start. And yes i know the replys will fly in that he`d of got KO`d if he had thrown more but thats speculation, Hatton didnt have the defensive skills that Clottey has, and Clotteys has a good chin. None of this is to say Manny isnt a Great cos he is , but i feel too many opponents let the hype knock their confidence out of them before they even start. Clam shell has its merits but you need a good and timely offense to go with it. Just go on youtube and watch Nigel Benn v s Michael Watson.
I think the point Esteban was trying to make Clotty had a good clamshell defense but he wasn’t throwing enough punches, he would have won had he thrown at least 100 punches per round, the few punches he was throwing he landed with no problem, Pacman looked like a beaten fighter at the end, God, help him if he fights Mayweather or Mosley, I know that I am going to get a grilling from a Pacfan, but you got to think with your head and not your heart.
cotto was braver than clottey he fought hes heart out the first half of the fight at least
Defense like this is completely useless if it doesnt get u points in a fight. Jeez some writers here really are dense if their actually congragulating Clottey after a shameful performance lik that. Ill tell u this, any World Class fighter can do wat Clottey did, go in defense and just completely shut off, all it does is make it incredibly easy for the opponent to win on points.
P.S. Pacquiao & mayb Mayweather are the only fighter in the World to hav a consistent punch output lik the output Manny showed last night and no one in welterweight is capable of KOing Clottey with Joshua giving up on the fight and juz deciding to survive in that inactive defense. This is boxing, the aim is not to survive but to win!!!
You seem to think that Manny is afraid of Money May or Sugar Shane. Those two boxers are without a doubt two of the best in our sport and either one stands a chance of beating anyone on any given night but make no mistake about it, Manny is not afraid to fight either one and in my opinion has a 50-50 chance of winning as well. Making the fight happen is more difficult with Mayweather but with Shane it’s alot easier. Shane and Manny are fearless warriors and Mayweather well he just needs a tough fight to wake him up a bit.
Here we go again…its either ou really like to be insulted, or you just don’t really know anything about boxing. Clottey’s defense only worked because he wasn’t throwing any punches. why, because he is afraid of Pacquiao’s power. Yes, he caught Pacquiao several times but he usually gets hit more after the exchange. Clottey was fighting just not to be knocked out and not to win the fight!!!After the 7th rounds he should have changed tactics and throw more punches but he didn’t cause he didn’t want to get hit. Theres no way you could win a fight hiding your head behind your hands. So Esteban you should write about fashion shows or write a book on “How it fells like to be an idiot”. Boxing is way to difficult and complicated for you to understand.
You did’nt get it Garduno? Clottey got so scared of Pac’s speed he stayed inside that clam. Imagine what would happen to a natural coward Floyd.
Would’ve – should’ve. It doesn’t matter how tight his defense was the bottom line is he lost. Now I was never a Pac fan but I have to admit that he is the real deal and deserves the respect he’s earned. Great job Manny and thanks for keeping our sport interesting.
clamshell, as in clottey jump’d inside 1 and hid there for 12 rounds grabed his big purse and went home orderd a pizza and watched finding neemo with his kid, thats what this fight shoulda been called….. “finding clottey”.
bravo for this article…clap, clap, clap…but the problem is…the Pacman is still the champion!clam shell defense? yeah, very good and hope clottey can become champion by using such defense and yes IF cottey had just thrown so much of his upper cut and jab, pacquiao may have lost, but that is only inside your mind my friend…the fact is…your prediction still stink and you are still a loser, a big “L” plastered on your forehead if you have one, ha ha ha!!!
What fight were you watching, yeah Clottey closed it right down, hahahaha – closed it right down to a total shut out. Thank you for making me smile this morning
if clottey & mayweather that will be the most boring fight ive ever seen. definatly falling asleep during that one.
I don’t see your point at this clamshell defence. I’ts pretty obious you hate the pac where you should be looking up at how a little guy was able to handle a big powerful and durable opponent. Even Clottey was stepping on Manny’s foot to try to stop him from his tremendous attacks. The way i saw the fight, the pacman only needs to improve his defence(e.g. to avoid the uppercuts getting through) and he should be able to handle and win at least a UD against SSM or PBF.
ERm… yeah.
Clottey didn’t shut anybody down, hence pacquiao won all 12 rounds.
i agree with this article
I believe that clottey will beat floyd if they fight. Coz clotteys clamshell defense will be too good for floyds shoulder roll. if it ever happens the fight will be 5 punch per round for each boxer. floyd will run clottey will move forward with his clamshell once he corner floyd, floyd will do the shoulder roll. no punches thrown.
Clottey is not a good boxer , he plays hide and seek …what he did is not a defense he’s just afraid that the pacman might knock him down ….Pacman wants him to fight face to face but he’s chicken like Floyd . hark hark harkkk !!!
Ha ha ha. Here you are again saying that Manny will lose to mayweather or Mosley. Aren’t you getting tired of being wrong all the time? Ha ha ha
THis is boxing for christ sake. You can’t win by hidding you need to punch. What makes you think his hiding all the time on this fight? Bcoz he’s scared that he will get knocked down. Look at his previous fights, he punched more than 300 punches yeah but this fight with pacquiao he sucks. I hate to say this but i have to: clottey is good but he’s never been great!!!
Puck this idea that pacquiao should stay away with mayweather and mosley…Hello, are you serious, you gotta be kidding me…I should think you’re drunk when you wrote this article. I love mosley and mayweather but they should be very careful with pacquiao shall i say!!! Peace
You sound like you already have your own bias againts the Pacman before this fight even started. Even Clottey admitted it himself, he did not want to throw any punches because the Pacman is just too fast. He knew that if he opens up to throw a punch that he would get hit at least twice before his punch hits Manny. You need to be objective and a keen observant of the sport if you want to write an article that can be commended. Saying that Pacquiao looked weak and to imply that he cannot take punches is just plain ignorant. He proved it during the Cotto fight that he can take punches from bigger fighters and he proved it again during this fight.
Clottey leaves himself open whenever he goes to counter Mannys punches and he knows this thats why he threw very few punches between rounds. He just cant handle Mannys multiple barrages of punches so he clammed up. Lampley described it best with his BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Need I say more?
IF you are impressed by Clottey last night I suggest you take up another sport:
GO AND WATCH PAINT DRY!
surely you’ll be even more impressed with that
Too bad he has no offense to speak of.
Too bad it wasn’t Ike fighting last night, Quartey would have crushed Pac.
If covering all 12 rounds is what you like then you might as well give up your job here. That’s not boxing, seriously that’s why it’s called boxing…not clam shelling.
