Lets discuss Pacquiao-Clottey!

[Parody]

I think this will be a tough fight for Manny only for the first 4 rounds or so and then he will eventually takeover after that. From what I've seen so far in Clottey's fights, I have noticed that he is in defensive mode throughout the fight, but for the first few rounds he throws crisp accurate counter punches while covering up too.

However if you notice in the Cotto fight he had many opportunities to hurt a tired Cotto in the later rounds but he couldn't take advantage of that and usually from the fights I have seen after the first 4/5 rounds his workrate always decreases and he doesn't commit to throwing punches anymore instead he tries to steal rounds after that by putting his best work in for about 20-30 seconds in a 3 minute round, against Pacquiao that would be a mistake because Manny has a very good workrate, accuracy and wont give Clottey a chance to steal rounds as Manny doesn't have stamina problems like Cotto, he can fight for 12 rounds at the same pace.

My only concern about Clottey is, he loves leading with his head to gain an advantage sometimes, I'm starting to think he does that on purpose because he has done it in most of his big fights, so I hope he keeps it clean because I dont want to see him making it close through a cut caused by a headbutt.

Pacquiao is going to be moving in and out, popping that jab out
Clottey will cover up hoping to counter, Woooosh!!!! Clottey missed, ****! Pacquiao hits him with a left
Clottey will catch him with big shots thats for sure just like Cotto did
116-112 Pacquaio

I hope Clottey beats him.

That would ruin a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight...and i want to see both of them fight this year, I hope Pacquiao beats Clottey in style.

The only thing that I worry about this fight is a game ending headbutt. Clottey always leads with that gigantic forehead of his and when pac lunges in for his patented combinations we might see a nasty headbutt. And also clottey's a very accurate puncher, he is very economical but when he throws he makeds it count. Just watched the Judah fight again and boy he rarely missed when he let his hands go. But I think pac's in the form of his life and if he's 100% focused when the gameplan from roach, pac should win in a competitive fight. I don't see a KO win tho.

Your analysis is more accurate as i already put money on round five, I have the same worries as well on Clottey's head, but since hes very predictable to move forward with head straight to the opponent, this might cause him trouble because Manny has the tendency to move to the side and throw a power punch, on the other hand if headbutt will occur i believe a sure win to Pac by TD as Pac always banks more punch in every round compared to his opponent or a DQ will happen. The best prediction i got is Manny will put the first KO loss for this Ghanian.

Considering that Pac could of fought Mayweather...I can care less about this fight.
