boxing fans never did make a buzz for this fight, clottey style is defense it was no suprise that manny won a wide decision. pac maybe lost buzz from casual fans because roach got obsessed with the ko predictions.Comment

True. Just wondered how the diehard boxing fans felt. These quotes are from people at the barbershop I go to. Good point though. But I have to ask you this, How could Bob Arum and co. not know that Clottey was going to do that? **** he fought that same way for 30 fights....
considering the germans and brits have hosted fights in arena's that hold 50k+ for quite some time now, why shouldn't top rank do it too?
manny vs clottey was the test phase. when a product gets released into the marketplace its not always the best version that gets released. look at the iphone, no video until recently. smart play for the developer, not really for the consumer though. anyway, same principle. get manny in there with a guy he can look good against so people will get excited for more big venue cards. in poker its called a sandtrap.Last edited by Bennett; 04-24-2010, 04:30 PM.Comment
