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...)
