First off, props to Manny. The man is a machine.
Now, Clottey's style (the style I thought would be something that could give Manny problems) was what I banked on for Clottey to win this fight. It proved to be his downfall (like many posters told me, and I know, but I thought Clottey was goona have more than a defense to bring to the table)...
Manny wouldn't let Clottey open up at all. I was Impressed! There were some shots in that fight where Clottey blocked the punch, but it moved him across the ring....Manny has power! For real!
The uppercut was there for Clottey all night...I wish he would have started to push on the gas around round 4 and not round 12...
Overall..
I'm not mad at Clottey though. Clotteys style has given many problems in the past, but I don't think even Clottey knew Pac was going to pretty much average 90 punches a round (like 70 were powershots...)...Like I said, a machine.
The event turned out to be worth it though. A good night for Pac, and for boxing.
P.S. I'm not going to be to hard on Clottey for the loss. Against Cotto, he could counter and lead after blocking 3 or 4 shots. Against Margo, he could counter between the slower punches of Margo (even though they never stopped coming). Against Pac, he never had a chance to conuter or open up. Pac threw hard, fast, punches from every angle, and never stopped. Wasn't much Clottey could do. He fought his fight, but it was his downfalls.
Look forward to seeing them both fight again.
Lastly-
Pac proved once a again why he is P4P king, by dominating a fighter that had never been dominated before. Good show Pac.
