Comments Thread For: Clottey Fires Back at Azumah Nelson Over Criticisms

[taino78]

Joshua is right. Its easy to step back and say this and that about what happened and not give any alternatives yourself. Every time Clottey tried to open up he got hit and hurt by the punches so he covered up and waited for his chance, it just didnt come.

his chance didnt come??? he hit pac with a triple uppercut and was pounding that right hand stfu, clottey just didnt pull the trigger like all his big fights

Watch what you Say to Grown FOlks ... thats Freaking Azumah Nelson for ***s Sake

I agree with Clottey that Nelson should of wished him luck, but that would not of changed the outcome in any way. In my opinion, Not even JesusChrist could of trained Clottey correctly because you will always have to depend on Clottey to follow the game Plan. I think we all heard DeJesus begging Clottey to throw more punches and all Clottey was doing was Shaking His Head No or would look in the other Direction. Nelson was politely telling Clottey he needs to Look in the Mirror and improve his game because he embarrased a Nation. And That Chit was embarrasing... and Boring. Clottey just cemented himself a Gatekeeper for the rest of his Career, just like Malignaggi and Cintron, but i actually have him a notch lower than those guys. Learn to take Criticism from All Time Greats like Nelson instead of Bitching about whether he wished you Good Luck, you Moron. I understand the rudeness in not wishing someone luck, but Nelson gave the Public some of the Greatest fights of NonStop Punching in the history of the SPort, so he may be frustrated in watching his CountryMen do the exact opposite. Be carefull in what you say to All Time Legends like Nelson.. YOu may lose the few Fans you still have Left....

Azumah Nelson is a legend of the sport and always showed up to fight...not just show up for the check.

Nah, I'm a fan of Clottey, but I gotta disagree. Clottey made absolutely zero attempt at trying to disrupt Manny's rhythm, and had no "Plan B", or Plan C" for that matter. Clottey didn't train for Manny Pacquiao - he just trained for a fight. A fighter needs to make things happen instead of waiting for chances that aren't going to come.

i dont get it, i saw clottey land a punch then not do anything. in fact one point in round one he landed a good shot then retreated like he didnt want to hurt pac.....just was weird.

the few shots clottey landed snapped pacs head back a few times.
i dont get it, he barely threw any punches and the ones he threw were arm punches...i know pac has buzz and speed but he wasnt getting hit by duran or hagler.

i think shane knocks pac out, i really do. pac is open to be hit and shane doesnt get hurt.

just rewatch the fight and watch pacs head flopping around when hit....

clottey was a disgrace not going for anything.....he was like a human heavy bag

wasnt clotteys trainer begging him to throw punches and clottey shook his head NO?

[amayseng]

Clottey should be ashamed of himself..
he just made winky wright a punching machine.

hahahah

brilliant

[Gentso]

Can someone answer me this...

I don't understand why someone that's as big as Clottey couldn't just change his gameplan. I mean, with the adrenaline of fighting in front of 50k people why couldn't he just let his hands go, take a shot or two in the process but let his hands go? It doesn't make sense to me, he could've taken control of the fight if he was the one throwing the punches.

De Jesus performance in the corner was about the same or worse then Joe Santiago both did horrible jobs advising their fighters in between rounds
