Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey

lol no fucking shit. Clottey is a defensive fighter, he doesn't put on good show just because he's losing a fight, nor has anyone with his style. Did winky wright "go for broke" when he was getting his ass handed to him by paul williams??? Nah man, he stayed in his winky shell defense for 12 rounds. Clottey is the same type of fighter.
Everything below is cut and pasted:
"When was the last time you seen to fighters Hug before the final round begin???? They were touching gloves all night on every lilttle breakup in the fight! This was no boxing war here fellas. A complete joke!!!! The fight was fixed flatout."
"The stopped to tap gloves multiple times during the round and at the end of every single round. It was at least 20 glove taps in the fight no bullshit."
"Well he didnt hug Cotto or marquez in the final round of their fights. It was some fixed friendly bullshit in my eyes."
Haven't heard from Clottey yet but i woke up to this story this morning, De Jesus is pissed with Clottey's passive effort to say the least!
"He had no courage" Lenny De Jesus
Written by Rey Colon, Special Envoy Sunday March 14,
TEXAS - More than defeated, the Puerto Rican coach Lenny De Jesus face reflected frustration that Joshua Clottey did not meet the agreed plans to face Manny Pacquiao, he strictly got imited to remain upright for 12 rounds and so to show up Freddie Roach.
He had no balls, in spanish, No te tuvo los cojones, De jesus said. The training that was given was terrific but changed when Pacquiao began to throw lots of punches. He was honest with me and said 'Lenny I didnt wanted to give Roach the satisfaction of Pacquiao stopping me in the fight. I wanted to last the 12 rounds. "That's what he told me later in the clubhouse. I would have liked to have taken this fight to Wilfredo Gómez to teach Clottey how a real man fight. Gomez was a real man," revealed the Ponceño trainer.
Between rounds, De Jesus was trying to convince Clottey to be more aggressive but the African refused to follow those instructions and has apparently opted to make his own game plan.
"I told him he had to throw more punches, be creative and open up a bit to throw his own. But you saw, got stuck. No shot. He lost all the rounds. He wanted to last the 12 rounds. I could not put to fight for it. And he did not heed what he explained. He knew and I said it, did not want to open the guard. He threw two or three right uppercuts and not let go. The left stagnant, "he said.
The 160 pounds that Clottey weighted in the fight did not affect him or his performance.
"No, that was no factor. This weight is perfect. Maybe he got into his mind or which was to last twelve rounds to not give the satisfaction to Roach. I wasnt with that mentality. He didnt want to take the chance because most WW's have big power. The little man won, the big one didnt do what was expected.
De Jesus said that following the fight and above the ring, Pacquiao admitted that he came to feel the force of Clottey.
"Manny came up to me and said, Lenny, he hit me several times. He thanked me and I him and I think I will be given the opportunity to work with him. I told him in the ring. I will consider for the next fight, "settlement.

I said that like 50 times you moron.
And who the hell are you cut & pasting, some geeknose from the internetz?
Tapping gloves and a mini-hug or whatever does not mean the fight is fixed, its two guys showing respect. I've been watching boxing long enough to know it's quite normal. Not every fight is a "war" and not every fighter hates the other guy.

Looks like the article Tony posted was a fake...
Team Mayweather: Floyd Did Not Watch Pacquiao's Fight
By Rick Reeno
Earlier today, two members of Team Mayweather reached out to BoxingScene.com to set the record straight regarding an alleged interview circulating all over the internet with Floyd Mayweather Jr. From what I was told, the interview, which calls Pacquiao a one-dimensional fighter and downplays his performance against Joshua Clottey - is 100% fabricated. The interview first originated on a website called Cage Report. Numerous websites and overseas newspapers have used quotes from the interview.
One member of Team Mayweather told BoxingScene - "Floyd did not do any interviews. Floyd has not watched the fight yet."
Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach told BoxingScene - "I don't believe that" - when he was advised Mayweather did not watch last Saturday's fight.

My prediction prior to the fight was pac would make clottey quit, because he has shown to be mentally unstable in previous fights.
After the fight, I stated at some point clottey gave up and was trying simply to not get KO'd. I said if he opened up more he would have gotten KO'd. I even stated some fighters have balls some don't.

Not showing balls in a fight and not showing up to win are two different things.
Like I said man, there are plenty of guys who think they're going to win, but once they get in teh ring and realize they are outclassed and are getting their asses kicked game plans go out the window.
Like Mike Tyson said, "Everyone has a game plan until they get punched in the face."
As for clottey's trainer, and as I mentioned countless times already, I don't think there was any respect between the two. That was not Clottey's regular trainer, as his main trainer was stuck in Ghana and this guy took over as head trainer. The guy is also an idiot imo because he said he thought pacquiao was the same exact fighter as he was 5 years ago, when everyone knows pac has gotten better, dude also refused to study or watch any recent pacquiao fights. Dumb & Dumber vs the top fighter and top trainer in the world.
