Wiping out Clottey on March 13
Posted on 03. Mar, 2010 by dimaks in News, Sports
As the Pound for Pound king Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao gears for the up coming fight with Ghanaian Joshua Clottey on March 13, the Filipino boxer’s American chief trainer Freddie Roach declared that Manny Pacquiao will be wiping out Clottey on the day they will in the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, Arlington Texas. Roach said that Pacquiao will stop Clottey before the 12th round of the boxing rally.
“ I know Clottey is a big strong guy and a great fighter and we respect him and he’s a really tough guy but with Manny, I feel that he’s going to overwhelm him with his speed and combination and I do believe he will be the first person to stop him before the 12th round,†Pacquiao’s handler for the last 10 years predicted.
Pacquiao himself expressed confidence of successfully defending his World Boxing Organization welterweight crown, saying,†I am good. Training camp is good. Everything is great. I know Clottey is taller and bigger than me. I know I can’t underestimate him because he is a former world champion also.â€
Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank, who was also in attendance at the media call, agreed, saying, “Manny Pacquiao is having a great training camp, as Freddie will tell you. There is excitement is Dallas. We have less than 8,000 tickets to go and I am fully confident we will have a sellout for the fight. It is very exciting for us and it should be a great, great show.†(http://philboxing.com/news/)
And this is how Albert Alvarez puts it, in his article in diamondboxing.com;
I will agree that Pacquiao does have the speed and power advantages over Clottey, but speed and power will not win this fight for Pacquiao. The things that will win this fight for Pacquiao will be heart and will.
Let us see what comes during the judgment day. Meanwhile, don’t forget your Pacquiao vs Clottey live stream. Most likely, since this is a PPV fight, some will be streaming for free at the Justin TV or UStream for that matter.
