Pacquiao-Clottey a horrible fight and dreadful undercard

Image: Pacquiao-Clottey a horrible fight and dreadful undercardBy Chris Williams: I hate to say I told you so, but I did. I knew the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight was going to be a total mismatch. And for the many Pacquiao fans, including trainer Freddie Roach, who said that Clottey was the type of opponent that would bring an exciting fight, you were dead wrong. How could Roach be so ignorant of Clottey? I’ve see Clottey fight at least 10 times and I knew all he was capable of doing was just covering up. If Roach didn’t know that too, shame on him.

Pacquiao-Clottey predictions: Clottey, Soto, Medina and Gomez will win

Image: Pacquiao-Clottey predictions: Clottey, Soto, Medina and Gomez will winBy Esteban Garduno: Tonight’s fight at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium is mostly filled with mismatches of the worst kind. On paper, the bout between Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao figures to be an easy win for Pacquiao over a limited Clottey, but I see Clottey pulling off a huge upset over Pacquiao tonight to spoil Manny’s party. Clottey will stay in Pacquiao’s face, make him work harder than he has in ages, take his shots and punish the Filipino. Pacquiao has become accustomed to beating up on over-matched opponents and Clottey isn’t going to go down like the other guys that have been fed to Pacquiao in the past two years.
