The fight that we’ve all been waiting for had proven that Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao is indeed a great fighter that even the bigger guy, Joshua Clottey, didn’t stand a chance. Manny Pacquiao defended his welterweight belt against the Ghanian fighter Joshua Clottey with a unanimous win after 12 rounds. Manny Pacquiao won on all the 12 rounds.
Joshua Clottey was a defensive player in all the 12 rounds and gets over 30 shots per round only while Manny Pacquiao does not go less than 90 shots per round. With the heavy defense of Clottey, Manny still managed to get several heavy shots from the first round and all Manny points for each round. On the second round, Clottey was able to land some good jabs too but still, Manny Pacquiao dominated. Third, Manny caught Clottey with a left uppercut while Clottey was successful with his straight right hand. In the fourth round, Pacquiao threw a double-handed punch which the referee warned him about. From 5th to 12th rounds, Manny Pacquiao continued to dominate while Joshua Clottey was hesitant with opening up and landing some shots on Pacquiao. (more...)
