I want my money back! It wasn’t even a fight. It was this small Asian guy beating up this bigger African guy. I can’t say I blame Clottey as I’d probably do the same thing facing Pacquiao. Anyway, it was Pacquiao by TKO on the third round. That’s my own take of it. The official one? Pacquiao 11 rounds to 1.
Manny Pacquiao shuts out Joshua Clottey in WBO welter defence
By Gareth A Davies Boxing and MMA Last updated: March 14th, 2010
So Manny Pacquiao is human after all. Or at least he was not able to stop Ghanaian Joshua Clottey in front of 50,994 spectators, who filed into the Dallas Cowboys Stadium to enjoy the spectacle of his defence of the WBO welterweight title.
This was a shutout victory for Pacquiao in front of the third highest number of fans ever to attend a fight in the United States. It was a shutout from first to last. Clottey, tough man than he is, simply did not throw enough punches. You cannot win a fight, if you do not fight.
Pacquiao won 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109 on the judges’ cards. Pacquiao said: “It was not an easy fight, but I can’t believe it. I intended to start with a lot of jabs. I know he was waiting to counter punch me.”
Clottey said: “He has speed, but at the same time, I lost the fight. He is fast, he tried to open me, but I was taking my time, But I lost this fight…”
