Dan Rafael: "Pacquiao put on a virtuoso performance of the highest level"

i swear any type of compliment toward pac and the flomos go insane. Yesterday like it or not Pac put on a fantastic performance against a top 5 WW!

Rafel is a nuthugging disgrace. Not worth anybody's time to talk about him.

To many people are complaining that all Clottey did was cover up. The reason thats all he did is that as soon as Manny finished punching, he used his angles and got the outside angle so Clottey wasn't in position to punch. This fight was a masterclass on positioning. actually it was mostly because he had no confidence in what he could accomplish and didn't want to get blasted like recent pac opponents as for the article virtuoso performance? duh, he didn't win all 12 rounds he dominated them. Clottey should've taken a chance.

The body punches were actually one of the highlights.

i was reading some of the other articles posted by ringside observers (kevin iole, etc) and it seems like what they saw wasn't as boring as was seen on the PPV broadcast, just an observation.

Even though I'm not a fan of Pacquiao and I don't want to admit it, it was a great performance by Pacquiao.

Dan Rafael doesn't know shit. Pacquiao scored 20% on a punching bag. How the **** you do that? I don't want to go out of context here but if Clottey faught like that against me, I could have beaten him too. If he just stood there and didn't throw anything. you can throw ten punch combos without gassin out? damnnnnn

I actually feel that Pac is slipping a bit after watching this fight. He looked human, which is tough to do against a guy who came to collect a check. still PAC is the only one who looked good versus clottey and convincingly beat him, their were bigger stronger guys that beat him but could not look as good....

Pacman may be a good fighter but I wouldnt say it was flawless and the perfect fight for him. He was never tested. Clottey didnt do nothing, he never really tested him. He just turtled the whole fight, he never let his hands go it was natural that pacman will win. This type of fight is what I hate about contenders. If you are not hungry for the belt and not gonna go for it then dont even both fighting in boxing, if you want a pay check get out of this sport and get out of main events. Pacman may be good but Clotty made him look superhuman.If he at least tried "boxing" pacman, and Manny won then I would say wow great fight by Manny, but right now Im saying go manny knock that bum out of here how is he calling himself a boxer.

why the hate on Dan Rafael? this guy gets all sort of flack from all not nuthuggers, be it flomos or pacnut...

The reason thats all he did is that as soon as Manny finished punching, he used his angles and got the outside angle so Clottey wasn't in position to punch. This fight was a masterclass on positioning. I agree, Clottey has been able to get his lead foot on the outside of his southpaw opponents, except Pac. Every time I saw Clottey try to regain his position Pac seemed to subconciously adjust (no peeking) and not give up the positioning.

I actually feel that Pac is slipping a bit after watching this fight. He looked human, which is tough to do against a guy who came to collect a check. Ive felt pac has been slipping physically since the Cotto fight. His reflexes are not what they use to be, but he has gained the invaluable quality known as ring savey. He doesn't have to rely on reflexes any more. He knows how to position himself so he doesn't get hit as easily, or as hard. He definitely was pretty sloppy defensively in this fight. Bringing his punches back low, not moving his head as much. Defense is still an afterthought for the guy, nothing you can do about that. He is not a defense first fighter, but he has learned to position himself. Im watching this fight again. Mannys footwork is amazing. Ive never seen anyone ever to throw combinations on the move like that.

Yup, he did! destroyed Clottey!

lols.... look at all these flomos get mad

This fight was a masterclass on positioning. clottey never had the best chance to open up or else he'll kiss the canvass an see himself in the giant monitor flat in his back. hahahaha! he chose the safest fight. he's truly no match for pac flurry. :boxing:

Clottey's less than mediocre performance just made Pacquiao look better than he already is. I actually feel that Pac is slipping a bit after watching this fight. He looked human, which is tough to do against a guy who came to collect a check.

"The Event" was awful. Shutouts can be entertaining. This was not.

You fat cunt...get off of Pacquiao's testicles already.
