        why? they didn't talk about style match ups at all. all they did was talk about both guys careers and personal lives.

            You think by decision or KO?

              yeah, i felt bad for clottey in a way.. not pity perse but it made me earn sympathy for him. i hate when that happens cause right before i fight i see the opponent with hatred lol and cant wait till my fighters ****s him up. that's part of the fun for me.. fighting a guy that i really dislike to see him eat his words and ego after getting ktfo!!!

              but with this fight.. it's like, my perspective is enjoy an exciting fight. i hope we get a few thrills and good exchanges through the fight. clottey is a humble, good guy .. i mean how can you wish him bad. in fact i wish him the best and i'd like to see him do good.. not only in the fight but i hope he gets a little more recognition. he really deserves it.. never would have guessed he was living in a bronx apartment that wasn't near as nice as your average fighters home/apartment. i thought he lived a bit better than that.. specially with how good he really is.

                These buildups that HBO puts out (Road to Dallas, 24/7, etc.) aren't made to change your feeling of the actual fight. I mean, nine out of ten times they reveal very little about the actual fight plan or the particular strengths and weaknesses of each fighter. In truth, we all know they're more of just well-produced hype videos to allow casual fans to learn a little more about the two men fighting and perhaps become invested in the fight when they like one of them.

                My perspective didn't change at all. I'm not sure Clottey possesses a style that makes me think he can beat Manny. He doesn't have enough pop to really back Manny up, and I'm not sure he's going to steal enough early rounds to win a decision.

                I guess the question for me, like many fans, is whether or not Joshua can leave the fight on his feet. I think he can, but I can't say for sure. I'll be rooting for him.

                  Still not sure on that yet...

                  Ask me about three days from now.
