Joshua Clottey Blames Pre-Fight Stew for Loss to Manny Pacquiao

[street bully]

Roberto Duran had diarrhea in the Leonard rematch.

Its possible, I remember having to play basketball in highschool with an upset stomach, and I played one of the worst games of my life.

THat's all I'm saying... people are so quick to dismiss someones reason for maybe a poor performance. Not saying that's WHY he lost... but people make it out to be that it COULDN'T BE he had an upset stomach like that. And that it wouldn't effect you.

It wasn't the stew, it was most likely his nerves being the biggest fight of his career and being Pacquiao on top of that. He was probably so nervous he was literally ****ting bricks.

yeah he looked like he had the runs when he was dancing to the ring. what a scumbag, losing a lot of respect for clottey. kind of reminds me of the tin man. no heart.

Lets assume he did have "a running stomach" or whatever, this would actually explain alot. He covered up, didn't want to take chances and risk getting KO'd cause Running Stomach plus Getting KO'd could equal public self defication. If you read some Freud fear of deficating on oneself in public really screws with some peoples heads.

I mean the only thing worse than getting KO'd in a few rounds, is getting KO'd and ****ting yourself in a few rounds.

Thats a career stopper.

Clottey needs to just sit down, he's embarrassing everybody.

In other news, Antonio Tarver reports eating a "Ghanian stew" just prior to his Hopkins loss.

I thought there was something wrong before he started dancing- i dont think he wanted to dance to the ring this time but when he started he got into it
