If Clottey didn't cover up?

[joelab75]

Clottey was hurt. the reason why he wouldnt want to trade punches with Manny. If Clottey let go of his hands he was more likely to go down in a later rounds. ****** posters saying Clottey would have knocked out Manny if he throw more punches. thats a pure HATER! you cannot let go of your hands when fighting Manny.

To me that is how Clottey fights, he is either on offence or defense if you force him on the defensive he has a very hard time getting off.

He caught a huge break in teh Cotto fight beacuase that nasty gash caused Cotto to allowed him to get off, once Cotto worked through that Clottey didn't do shit.

Manny forced him on the defensive and Manny threw a ton of punches latter in thefight Manny's activity dropped so Clottey could do more.

If Clottey fought differently he would lose worse because that is not him.

When Clottey wasn't covering up, he was throwing, and everything he threw, hit Pacquiao.

Clottey threw 15 punches and had Manny looking like he fell down an elevator shaft...lol

Imigine if he let his hands go.

if he let his hands go, Clottey will be like he fell down from an elevator shaft

If Clottey didn't cover up too much and traded punch like the Cotto fight,
Would Pacquiao be able to knock him out?

i don't know, but what i do know is, if clottey didn't cover up and let his hands go, it would've looked like an actual fight instead of a uncompetitive sparring session, or even better a heavy bag work out.

There is a reason a guy covers up and is afraid to throw. That should give you your answer.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Just opening up and trading freely would be uncharacteristic of Clottey.


If he fought that way against Pacquiao, he gets stopped. Pac's the more dynamic puncher and Clottey isn't capable of throwing as fast or as much.

Clottey would have gotten TKO'd or KO'd. IMO, he didn't realize how tough of a fight it would be with Manny (why he hid in his shell).

108 punches did that to Manny's face, actually check that less since those all couldn't have been head punches.

Not a good sign against better bigger fighters~
