Pacquiao-Clottey

By Esteban Garduno: Manny Pacquiao ended up throwing more than 1200 total punches in defeating former International Boxing Federation welterweight champion Joshua Clottey by a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision on March 13th at the Cowboys Stadium. What was lost in the win was the accuracy, the power and the way that Clottey was able [...]

By Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao wanted to get an even split of a future revenue split in a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., he didn’t help himself with his numbers for his March 13th bout against Joshua Clottey. ESPN reported today that the Pacquiao-Clottey fight netted just 700,000 pay-per-view buys. That might be a [...]

By Esteban Garduno: The March 13th so-called mega fight between World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO’s) and Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KO’s) has failed to live up to expectations set out by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, bringing in only 700,000 pay-per-view buys, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. Oh, this [...]

By Esteban Garduno: I have to admit that what I saw of Manny Pacquiao against Joshua Clottey didn’t give me a feeling that Pacquiao could beat or even compete with the likes of Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Boxing is a science, a sport of the mind if you will. The fighters are ones [...]

By Jason Kim: World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao reportedly wants to fight at the Cowboys Stadium again after defeating Joshua Clottey by a lopsided 12 round decision last Saturday night in front of 50,000 screaming fans. The fight may have been a disappointment due to Clottey not really bringing his A game on [...]

By Chris Williams: I’ve watched the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight a couple of times now and I have to say that I think Pacquiao fought about the dumbest fight I can ever imagine a fighter doing. I’ve seen son poorly fought bouts before, but Pacquiao’s performance last Saturday night really takes the cake. [...]

By Esteban Garduno: For what it’s worth, Joshua Clottey believes that Manny Pacquiao would give unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. a lot of problems if the two were eve to fight. In an article at the Philippine Star, Clottey says “To be frank with you, the fight [Mayweather vs. Pacquiao] will be very tough for Mayweather. [...]

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao didn’t look all that impressive to me last Saturday night in beating Joshua Clottey by a 12 round decision. The hand speed wasn’t there, and neither was the movement and power. And looking at how badly Pacquiao was gasping for breaths in between rounds, it seemed like he wasn’t in [...]

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 [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. saw last Saturday night’s match between Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao and he was not impressed in the least, saying in an article at Cagereport.net, “Personally, I think Pacquiao got exposed in that fight for being one-dimensional. You can have all [the] offence ability in the world but [...]

By Chris Williams: Unlike a lot of people who are crowing 24/7 about how great Manny Pacquiao has looked in chocking up his latest win over Joshua Clottey last Saturday night at the Cowboy Stadium, I wasn’t impressed in the least by the fight or Pacquiao’s opponent. I’m tired of seeing Pacquiao put in with [...]

By David Berry: Isn’t this what we expected? Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO), as planned, blitzed through Joshua Clottey (35-4-20 KO) on Saturday night; another opponent left in the dust. Despite Bob Arum’s best efforts to sell this fight on its own merits, the end result was never in question. The only real question going [...]

By Chris Williams: I watched last Saturday night’s awful Joshua Clottey vs. Manny Pacquiao card at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, and I got to say I personally don’t care whether there are any more fights at that stadium or any other stadium. Supposedly, this is something that is good for boxing to have fights shown [...]

By Esteban Garduno: I know how fans of Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2, 38 KO’s) think he looked sensational in his 12 round decision win over Joshua Clottey (35-4, 20 KO’s) last Saturday night at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, but Pacquiao sure did get beaten up by Clottey, didn’t he? Look at Pacquiao’s face after the fight, [...]

By Rasheed Catapang: “He had a good defense, but defense isn’t enough to win a fight,” Roach said. And that basically summed up the whole Pacquiao-Clottey Affair. The Event was – no small thanks to Clottey – uneventful. His defense was too good for his own good. There was madness in his method. The method [...]

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 [...]

By Dave Lahr: Okay, I’ve seen the Pacquiao-Clottey fight, and I now think Pacquiao should consider himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth that he wasn’t facing Floyd Mayweather Jr. instead of Joshua Clottey last night at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. Mayweather would have boxed the socks of Pacquiao and given headaches [...]

By Ryan Dunn: In a victory as impressive as any in Manny Pacquiao’s career, the Pride of the Philippines has won a unanimous decision after twelve rounds of some of the most one-sided boxing we’ve witnessed at the elite level in some time. Pacquiao won at least 11 of the rounds tonight decisively, against a [...]

By Eric Hernandez: As I await tonight’s welterweight battle I find myself asking Why. Why would Manny Pacquiao risk a big money fight With Floyd Mayweather by fighting a guy in Joshua Clottey. That will be extremely difficult to look good against, he has a tough chin and his defense will make it difficult for [...]

By Esteban Garduno: Freddie Roach seems to be conflicted about wanting Manny Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. On one hand, Roach can’t stop talking about how much he wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather next, and yet in the next breath, Roach is saying that Mayweather doesn’t make the rules in boxing. Roach, of course, [...]

By Chris Williams: In case no one has noticed, Manny Pacquiao will have faced two Top Rank fighters in his last two fights when he takes on Joshua Clottey on Saturday night. And while Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach has been flapping his gums 24/7 about wanting Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., a non-Top Rank [...]

By Jim Dower: As expected, Joshua Clottey (35-3, 20 KO’s) came in right at the welterweight limit of 147. It’s good that Clottey didn’t have to sweat off an excess pounds, because that would likely leave him feeling weakened for tomorrow. Now he can rehydrate and possibly come into tomorrow’s fight in the neighborhood of [...]

By Esteban Garduno: In the latest boxing news, Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya chimes in with his own prediction on the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight for this Saturday night, saying in an interview with Sky Sports, “I think Manny Pacquiao will have an easy time with Joshua Clottey. Styles make [...]

By Jason Kim: Former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey has always been known as a tough fighter because of his power, speed and his ability to rough up his opponents during the course of a bout. However, as good as Clottey is, he’s limited in that he fights in spurts, and spends a lot of [...]

By Chris Williams: If Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and trainer Freddie Roach had their ways, World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao would be facing WBA welterweight champion Shane Mosley next and not unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. Both Roach and Arum see it easier to deal with Mosley and set up a fight compared [...]

By Dave Lahr: Okay, so first of all Manny Pacquiao is in deep trouble this Saturday night. Joshua Clottey is going to be bringing size and power that Pacquiao has never seen before in his career. This time Pacquiao will actually be facing someone that is still able to take shots without flopping around on [...]

By Dave Lahr: In the latest boxing news, trainer Freddie Roach says he wants Manny Pacquiao to face the winner of the May 1st fight between Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Roach seems to think that beyond this fight, there’s not much else out there for Pacquiao to fight.

By Chris Williams: Freddie Roach is still predicting a knockout win for Manny Pacquiao on Saturday night, and thinks that he’ll be drowning Joshua Clottey with punches in their fight.
